Can anyone please tell me if a set of Alloys that fit a Torana will fit an FC ( with HR front / rear )  I have come across a NEW set of Dragway Indy's that have never been out of the box. The guy boought them for his Torana, but ended up changing his mind re: the car and sold the Torana in favour of a different car, but kept the Dragways. So after a quick phone call to the local tyre mob, I found out that Dragway Indy's ( 14" ) are around $420 each....OUCH ! So I'm hoping this guys wheels will fit my FC and I can get them for a good deal. Any thoughts on fitment ...Torana to HR / FC Cheers Mark |

I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same, not sure about the offset though.  J |

Bolt pattern is the same for torana, you will need to find out the offsets of the mags and do some measuring or call Dragway direct.

Mark,
I have dragway pro's 15" with a FC rear end and a HR front end.
To the best of my knowledge (which is not much) the Indy's and Pro's are similar, so I don't think you should have any problems with them.
Cheers
Tim

Most Dragways are a two-piece design also, which means that they can be reset to suit the car. I'd check with a local wheel repairer on price though.

I had a similar problem with ex Torry Dragway 5 spoke on the wagon. Don't know about the Indy's but the 5 spoke couldn't be reset according to the local wheel works.
Torana wheels have a different offset due to a shorter diff. If the rims are any wider than 6 inch they won't fit under the rear guards without mods
cheers,
Leigh.

For whats its worth, I have a set of Indy's on my FC Ute "Doris" ,HR front end etc, with the current tyres, they rub a wee bit on the wheel arches, but that's because its so low I guess. They are great looking wheels and shine up real well.

Don't know if you can still get them, but accessories for these mags (and the Centerline Champs) are a three winged knock-off cap that look pretty good IMHO.
