Mate, you have plenty to choose from, if you don't need them all, give us a call.
   I remember when i bought my FE in 1989 (GOA350) it came with Tasmans on it. I think when i had a clean up they went to the tip. Oh how i rue that day. If i only had my time again, but isn't hindsight a marvelous thing.

Aaaah so thats where they are all hiding :o

Great little collection there Dean!! What's the plan?

Cheers, Les...

Hey Les,

Plan is to get 5 sandblasted (outers), outers will then be painted GTS wheel silver, centres redone gloss black & spokes polished.
May have to get the centres redrilled because apparently you can't get the correct wheel nuts for Tasmans anymore.

Dean. ;D

Shop around before you do, there are plenty of places making stuff like that or they can. Try Galaxy Wheels in Adelaide for starters.

Thanks Stinky, I will give them a call.

Love your Tasman collection mate, im only new here (as this is post number 1 for me!), and this got my attention pretty quick! Finally found another Tasman nut, thought i was the only one. I also have a pretty decent collection of Tasmans, best ol skool wheel out i reckon, cant beat em!

There still around, i just ask and look pretty much everywhere i think you may find some. You sometimes come across them in some strange places! ;)

[Hoodlum Jim]

Im happy to help anyone who has Tasmans with any questions in relation to wheelnuts, restoring/reviving these wheels. Im no guru, only learnt what ive done with my own wheels and research that ive done, but more than happy to pass on any info!

You need to change your forum name to "Tasman Jim"  :P

[DN2168]

I bow to thee oh king of TASMANS  ;D

Too bad if you decided you didnt like them anymore ;D


We had a few come in the scrap next door the other day but they were fairly rusty. probably a baked beans tin or korean car by now.

but they were fairly rusty

Can always save the centres and get new outers put on.

Absolutely, they're definately worth saving regardless of the rim condition. You would be surprised how even the rusty rims can be brought up to a decent streetable finish, may not be concourse but perfect for a neat streeter. As long as the rim is still of sound construction, a coat of silver and a new chrome dress trim will make them look a million bucks! I'll post a before and after pic of a rim done just with basic tools and heaps of elbow grease. ;)

.......and my apologies to JOD34N and the moderators if this looks like a thread hijacking, wasnt my intention. Seeing all those Tasmans put me in a trance!! ;D

[Hoodlum Jim]

Heres a before and after.
