Title: Wheels Post by: FC Dave on January 28, 2014, 08:17:04 AM Well here goes a long shot. As per the wheel numbers thread, I am chasing two 6 or 7 inch wide x 13 wheels for my wagon to replace the Torana ones so must be early centres.
Title: Re: Wheels Post by: DJ on January 28, 2014, 10:29:41 AM Ditto x 4. :) 5 ½ or 6 inch, early centres.

I have 4 13x6 wide rims. I think 2 of them may be what you are after. Provide email and Ill send photos. Rob Title: Re: Wheels Post by: fcwrangler on January 28, 2014, 03:47:59 PM There are a couple of sets on eBay at the moment, two sets are early rims and another set are from a HR with tyres but they look to have the dimples in the rims. Might be worth a look 13 inch Holden wheels
Jim Title: Re: Wheels Post by: fcwrangler on January 28, 2014, 03:50:23 PM Just remembered, I have two old chromies on an old front end as well
Jim Title: Re: Wheels Post by: mcl1959 on January 28, 2014, 05:39:39 PM I have 4 stock FE FC rims as well. (Victoria - hoppers crossing) I also have one HR rim. $20 each

Rob Dave I have 4 13x6 wide rims. I think 2 of them may be what you are after. Provide email and Ill send photos. Rob Hi Rob, full circle for me. I think from memory I guessed the rims were probably off a Torana &/or HR ('69 & '75 dates?). For me at least, to get them chromed will amount to the same cost as 'new' because they pull them apart then re weld & align again after chroming.

(Victoria - hoppers crossing) I also have one HR rim. $20 each Ken Ken, I would be very happy with your 4 stock rims as I can get them widened & chromed at a place I just called in Melbourne (Ajax Motor Wheels at Moorabbin). If you know them, any comment would be appreciated. That would save me sending 4 to Vic. Please let me know details for funds transfer. Title: Re: Wheels Post by: DJ on January 28, 2014, 06:38:53 PM Just remembered, I have two old chromies on an old front end as well Jim Thanks Jim, I had a look through the eBay listings again. I think I need to bight the bullet & go for a full set of new chrome rims. Some on eBay look to be OK & some not - hard to know until after you pay the freight & they arrive. I did see the freshly painted red ones (valves & all) with the HR in the background. What condition are the chromes you have? Title: Re: Wheels Post by: FC Dave on January 28, 2014, 07:02:33 PM Hey Jim, I am not far from you at Robertson. If you want to, PM me your number. Dave
Title: Re: Wheels Post by: mcl1959 on January 28, 2014, 08:17:05 PM Ajax wheels have a good reputation, I bought a set of chromed rims from them maybe 20 years ago so they have been going for a long time so must be doing something right.
Ken Title: Re: Wheels Post by: DJ on January 28, 2014, 10:11:17 PM Thanks Ken, that will do me, they sound quite good to deal with & familiar with the Holden models.
Please fwd details for a funds transfer for 4 stock rims. Title: Re: Wheels Post by: DJ on January 28, 2014, 10:12:51 PM FCDave - pm sent with details of suppliers contacted today.
Hope this helps a little. Title: Re: Wheels Post by: thecanoeguy on May 22, 2014, 08:59:41 PM hello FC Dave , do you still have the torana rims , i am after a set of 2 x 6 and 2 x 7" ,not chrome
Title: Re: Wheels Post by: FC Dave on May 23, 2014, 09:37:39 PM I don't sorry.Old chrome can be sandblasted off for about $20/ wheel.
