When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

That's Mark Aitkens ute, from around the Canberra area. I bought my roadster off him. He picked us up at the airport in it. Damn fine car to ride in and quite a few subtle mods....

Hi Tony, I am sure Devilrod will concur, between the HG han HT there are no differences (that I know of), however the HK have a different offset and they will foul on the suspension of the HR front end (if you of course are running one). The HK also have a series of "Slots" running around the outer like Torana's

What Matt has said is correct, thanks to SRV for the pic, below is a HK on the left and HT-G on the right. You can play around with spacers but I would keep looking they aren't that hard to find.

My EK is currently stock, will there be any issues in running the HK rims. I have a great set of 14 x6 and 14 x 7 Dragway Pro's but the 14 x 7's are the wrong offset. I don't want to roll the guards so on to eBay they will go.

We I first reviewed your post the picture didn't appear, but the second time it did, do you know where I can get the hubcaps which are in the picture as that the look I am after.

Hey Tony, they are Baby Moons, I no longer need them, if you'd like them I'll take what I paid, $40 plus postage.

Here's another pic of that ute taken at WSID last year

They are the caps I am now running.

Thanks Matt, that pic's from a couple weeks ago, nothing much except a bare metalled roof between then and now.
