No Trev, they are a weld in centre - there is a piece of steel cast into the outside rear of the spoke.

These will be for the ute , I have a couple more for the front of the sedan :ebiggrin:

What are the details on the rims Blacky? Have you reused the originals, new rims to original specs or wider? Will you set up the offsets to suit or go stock?

Clay, I bought a set of NOS Skog/Herbert mags with rims a few years ago , they had never been assembled :ebiggrin: then when I went to put them together I found out why - the centres were undersized and would not fit the rims :esad: :esad: :esad: I had a few Tasmans lying around so I thought bugger it I will make a set of Tasmans instead. I am using a pair of the 6" hoops for the front which will be pretty much as per a standard Tasman, I wanted to reverse them and make them deeper dish but the rims I have don't match if you reverse them :thumbsdown: I have a pair of 7" hoops for the rear wheels , will set them up to suit the ute (Torana diff) so they wont fit the sedan (HR diff) . I have a couple more Torana diffs here so might knock one together for the sedan so I can mix and match wheels from both cars.
