Thread: Were all the GAME's the same spec?

These things were bloody heavy and very strong, and being made here weren't exactly cheap either.
I was only a kid at the time, so the time line may be a little out, but a year or so after introduction Wheels International introduced a new rim in the range the 'Sunraysia II' with a dished and coined centre and a 360* weld where the centre attached to the rim. These were quite a bit lighter (thinner centre plate) and IIRC were actually made in Japan.

The original Game's I saw used the original Sunraysia's, as did LNC Industries who were the then Jeep importer on some of their 'specials'.

Mine has the later style, but is still quite thick, I would have said 3/8" but may be 5/16'', it is certainly much thicker than the current wheels that you see about. They have ROH stamped on them.

Cheers, Mick.

Great trucks. Would love one.

Had to laugh at the second last paragraph of Lakey's overlander magazine attachment - I do believe that is the first time in a looong time that I have read the word "indubitably" in an article Didn't Foghorn Leghorn use that word??
