Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply and the info. I have a bit of a project ahead of me as you can see by the pictures  .I have examined the brakes and wheel hubs and came to the conclusion that to just change hubs it would require nothing short of stripping the axels bare and rebuilding them with different hubs/brakes etc. so I'm hoping some one might have some leads on 5 original useable 18 inch 6 stud rims which I could then use with some of the tyres you mentioned - if I can get them. Another idea I had was to machine out the centers of 20 inch blitz rims and weld/graft in the old 18inch rim centers but this idea is almost as much work as stripping the axels and may even be dangerous if the welds are not propper! Regards, Brett.

Unique wheels.....
Hi Brett
If these wheels were designed/built with two huge stampings similar to a CMP wheels they must be unique to Australian market.... The GM/Kelsey Hayes plants had a 3 story high 120 ton press that stamped the 16 and 20 inch half rims in one blow.... pictures have been posted on MLU before.... if they were made in 18 inches for Australia someone at Holden had some big machinery. DUKW also used 18 in. rims...... and 6 bolt pattern....wonder if they are similar/interchangable.....? Good luck on the project. Boob
