I believe GMH outsourced the wheels to Rubery Owens Holdings from HT on. This is when the taper changed. I ran in to this issue many years ago with HT rims on HR disc hubs. The wheel centre actually cracked between the stud holes and you could hear a creaking noise in the car when parking.

I had a HD with ht wheels as my first car. I got the offset changed to clear caliper. My rims cracked between the studs as well. Always thought it was the offset.
Was probably the wheelnuts.....
Interesting......

Rubery Owens Holdings are still located around the corner from the old Woodville GMH plant Vern. They commenced supply ing OEM steel rims for HT and LC, prior to which the general made their own. This is when the taper changed on the wheel nuts.

Clay ,Ok thanks ..we have discussed these rims before ,you can see them in these images ,I assume you have ,so you think they are most likely LC Torana then ? ..The Torana hub caps must fit differently than FC ..that's one of my dislikes of these rims the hub caps wont stay on,the hub caps I have fit nicely on 1950's rims ,so that's the way I am going ..cheers Vern ..

They could be after market rims Vern. You can still buy them new with the main market being trailers I reckon.

The rim with the flat leading edge is to suit Bosch headlight usually found on commercial and standards
The rounded leading edge is Lucas is mostly found on Specials, although not uncommon to see either used
Looking good, you're lucky to have found a panelbeater that cares

Morning gents ..Interesting Gary how Holden used Bosch and Lucas head lights ,thanks for the heads up,we compared the 2 surrounds and see what you outlined ,the depth from the front of the rim to the mounting screw hole is the same on both ,but the overall width at same point the Bosch type is about 2mm shorter ..We don't see that as a problem ..I may fit 2 gaskets where the light bucket fits into the guard on that side ..NOW THE GOOD NEWS ..!!!! Steve has painted the inside of the B columns the final Dominion Maroon ,he gave the paint and the finish the thumbs up ,that's all I need ,I wasn't there ,going today ..cheers Vern
