Those are Tasman's on the wagon Jay - a 60s era wheel.
The wheel you have Matty is a larger diametre updated version of GTS rims off the HQ era ,these were also on pontiacs in the states.

Wheels in a 17'' and larger to me never sit right under any early Holden.
They just don't sit under the guards nicely. End up making to car look to high.

Just my thoughts

thanks guys,

i think i'm in the same mind as SMQQTH as i think after seeing them on the monza, it does sit really high...

i might try the original gts rims, are they 13's or 14's...

thanks

You'll need to change stud pattern to run HQ rims..... Different PCD .

I myself think that big rims on early holdens look shit..... but each to there own. I think 15's are big enough... Cheers Mark

Hey Matty, I've got a pair of GTS style steel rims in 13". You could run 13's on the front and 14's on the back? I'll upload a pic soon..
