They are ****** sweet! I want a set. Unfortunately I have never seen them before so I have no idea where you can get another 2 :(

I have never seen that style of wheel before.
Do they have Globe cast onto the back of the spokes?

Nope cant seem to find anything on them. They need a good clean and it's dark outside, but pretty sure they got nothing??

They look simular to the 'AMOS' wheels... well what Matt TheMiniMan calls em. But as I said, i'll have to clean em up and see if there is anything cast on them.

They look like boat trailer wheels :? - and by the look of the corrosion I would be surprised if they've been in a bit of salt water. :cry:

These are sprintmasters as I know them...

They were not called Sprintmasters originally. They were called "Rallymasters", the name change came in about 72 when they fitted them to XU1's for Bathurst.
So I would guess that the 10", 12" and 13" wheels that were not fitted to Toranas would have all been Rallymasters.
