The GM/H 18" rims look quite different to the WD-Pattern 16" and 20" rims in that they have have quite a few more rim-half bolts in a smaller thread than the British design rims.

Ford Australia's rims seem to be more faithful to the British/Canadian design, so I wonder if they are Canadian supplied?
