Default 18 inch rims

Righto chaps, another round of what the bejezus and why??

Note this first rim, fairly conventional, 5 stud, 18 inch rim right? Used on Lend Lease Fords in Australia. Also called the 'desert rim'.

Default Now look at this one

18 inch rim with 8 stud pattern. 8 stud is not a cocky modification...it is on one half of the split rim and has come like that from the factory.

Well...it appears to have, anyway..

Any thoughts as to what vehicle these came off??

This appears to be the second type you show on a 'D' series Dodge.

Default old Kingaroy photos

Here is two Fords showing both types of wheel fitted. These were taken at the late Ken Hugh place at Kingaroy Queensland some years back now.

Have yet to find a Chev photo with enough detail to see the wheels used.
