They are 14X 9 1/4 and have "GH"stamped into the centre of the rim. They have some black texta markings on the inside that says 14X9 1/4 L34.
I understand Rory was in the tyre trade around when the L34 was getting around and thought he may able to shed some light on the origins of "GH".

He raced against or with Brock I am led to believe.
The wheels have sat around for the last 20 years or so and when I had the slicks removed I found these markings on the inside. Of course any one could have written it there at some stage and it could mean nothing at all.

Back to SLR,
Mate I would almost bet my left one you have a set of Gown Hindaugh EX L34 wheels off the Brock/Sampson car. Was a common practise to punch stamp them somewhere so us dumb arsed fitters didnt give the wrong teams the wrong wheels.You would have to measure them but some of the numbers will refer to offset...Looks like the goods to me Digger. Lucky mongrel!

I was hoping you could help with some more info before I posted the other pic. When I saw Brock's name I was keen to find out whether or not they were legit.
Brock was in Hamilton the other day doing signings so I had a friend take it up for him to take a look. He recognized it straight away as one of his wheels, but didnt say which car it came off.
He has scribbled across the original markings but its still visible.
If they are off the 75 car I would have been more than happy to return them to the original car however I have discovered the Gown/Hindaugh L34 was written off in Targa years ago. So what should I do with them coffee table??

Perhaps I could find some one doing a replica of a Brock L34 car. Maybe they'd be interested.

If you are not keen on a coffee table what about a dining table? Weld a crank on each one and set a big plate of glass on all 4? that way every time you sat down for dinner you would see a piece of history...........I can see it now...a 1.5 metre high coffee table...good for kiwis to lean on and drink a tallie...Lol! ...Once were Warriors!! KUDU you crack me up!!
