Hey guys i have a mate in need of 2x us racers in 13x8 inch to finish off a newly built car.
Car has 7s on it now but he wants to step up an inch at the rear so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Down in hobart so they would need to be posted here so seller must be happy to pack and drop to aus post...all post at buyers cost of course.

Please if you can help us out let me know.
Regards
DAMO

Agreed.

Unless you can get something like what THOMMO has - they look good

guessing you prolly don't even know what wheels he is talking about 13's aren't easy to find 14's are near impossable and i'm 99% sure don't even come in early holden stud pattern same with 15's
then there's 14" or worse 15" on rear and 13" on front YUK

Thanks for all the input but the 13x8 us racers look just fine on them thanks.

I had 2 sets of 14x10s but just sold them both as they are just to big to fit anything but a HQ really....hard to find but you can still get them from the states pretty easy really.

Still looking and keen to get a pair of 8 inch us racers for him if possible.
Thanks for all the input.

I have a set of 13 x 8 " wheels - I will get a pic and see if they are the same type. If they are would your mate be interested in a swap - 2 x 8" for 2 x 7" ?

Just went and took a pic - they arent US racers, they are Performance ,

I've seen them on an EK before and the 13's looked great, kind of period correct
