Hey guys

I was wondering if the chrome wheel trims around the outside of the rim are the same on SL model torries as GTR models.
Its VERY hard to find good pics of examples of these trims online.

The GTR ones appear to have a sharp edge on them, but i remember seeing a picture of SL rims that had fairly a smooth edge.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this matter?

thanks :)

I found some photo examples.

These ones are said to be xu1 trims and have the smoother apperance. They also dont look as deep.

This one is said to be for a gtr. the edge is sharper and also much deeper.

Finally, these ones are from an SL type torana (with the center cap).

these ones are what im interested in finding more information about before I go looking in wreckers/etc for them.

Whats the deal with all the different types? or am i being decieved.

err, nevermind i guess. it looks like they'd slip into the seam. (where'd the edit button go?)

In the photo above with 3 and 3 the three that have a hole for the valve stem would appear to be Ford Cortina. They are virtually the same from the outside.
