Globe Rallymasters. (Later known as Sprintmasters) Take a look at the Torana forum, they were the XU1 wheels.

Bastard, I was watching them.

Many trailers use the minis 4 inch stud pattern. Superlite website sell trailer mags for those. They would look a bit daggy being trailer alloys but oh well. Also quality might be an issue...??

They are the same design as the Torana wheel but the Torana has 13 inch and five spokes and the Mini has 10 inch and four spokes.
They made thousands of them for Toranas but they only made very few sets for minis (10" four spoke) and they also made them in 12" four spoke for Corollas, etc.

This is a Torana wheel...
