The official "Post pictures of your wheels" thread

[Ptero]

Approved by the powers that be, here is the offical thread for posting pictures of your wheels.

Enough talk, lets see your wheels!

[Ptero]

I'll start things off.

Western Wheels (fake centerlines as far as I know). 14x7

[Zs-ondabrain]

My Rota RB 17x9.5's and 8's, My Eagle Alloy 16x7's and my original (got with the car) Slotted wheels.

So called 'Black Pearl' wheels which are actually 260Z-280Z optional factory alloys (in signature pic):

Original Appliance 14 x 7 aluminum mags that were purchased in Orlando, Florida for $150 in early 1972.

The original center caps succumbed to Florida rust cancer and were replaced with Eagle caps sometime this decade.

I cant remember exactly, but I believe these were made by superior. Im sure someone here can verify

[70 Cam Guy]

Might I suggest updating the first post to also request tire size along with your wheel specs (if known). Maybe if you're lowered too

My car has:
Rota RB-R 16x8 +4 in hyper black
General Exclaim UHP 205/50/16
coilovers

It will be tough to find a performance tire to put on these wheels

15x7 Panasports FS15E (no idea what offset, it is not stamped into them)
Bridgestone 960AS 195/60/15
tokiko springs and struts

[Casey_z]

I love the silver Z

[Steve Parmley]

Konig rewind 14x7 -9. 215-60-14 tires with rolled fender lips. Lowering springs and modified-shortened spring isolators.

[Zedyone_kenobi]

Those large sidewalls look amazing! Very 70's vintage Racer.
I did not know rewinds came in -9

[Steve Parmley]

Thanks. Ideally I would like 0 offset and 225 50 14s like the old ITS cars ran. These wheels are usually found on 510s. In fact I got these on craigslist from a 510 guy.

JEFF,

Where did you get those "280Z on Enkei(?) 14x6 wheels and 215/60R14 tires" wheels? They look just like a pair I used to run on my street car back in 1986.

[Jeff G 78]

Coop, they were on the 280 when I bought it back in 1990. At that time, the car had been sitting for about 5 years, so they are at least 26 years old - maybe more. I like the wheels a lot, but they have the stupid slotted lug holes that accept multiple bolt circles. I am afraid to use them on the 260 race car even though I need another set of 14x6 wheels for the track. Has anybody ever used wheels with this style hub on the track? I have never been able to verify if they were designed to use some sort of insert. There were "Unilug" wheels of the same era that used a washer with an offset hole, but these don't appear to use anything other than a regular shank style lugnut.

[coop]

Jeff. Those could have been my old wheels but mine weren't slotted. They looked good with the gold trim and the yellow paint job. Sort of like a Ferrari. I found them to be a nuisance when I started to run them in ITS back in 1987, what with always removing them to bleed brakes, etc. So I switched to a proper lugged 14x7. I would never run the old shank type of wheels on the track. In fact, I once had a shank type of wheel modified with pressed inserts in order to use the beveled lug nuts. Nice.

[Jeff G 78]

We had one of the Vectors come loose last year mid-race. Luckily it didn't come off, but it did booger up the lug holes in the wheel. I hate shank-style wheels!!! They are a pain in the ass to get on and off quickly and the nuts are getting hard to find.

[Montezuma]

I got a line on a set of those 280Z on Enkei(?) 14x6 wheels and 215/60R14. They are on a project car that will not be using them since the car was rebodied to a GTO 250. I am sure they are for sale here in San Diego if anyone is interested...local deal and pick up of course. I will get some pictures of my wheels on here, Watanabe's 15x7s with medal center caps. Got a set of Centerlines, Turbines and recently restored a set of SSR Reverse Mesh 15X7s, I had the centers powder coated silver. They will be for sale.

[Arne]

The "280Z on Enkei(?)" wheels aren't Enkeis. They look like Gotti replicas as built by either American Racing or Ultra. Enkei never made that style.

It took quite a bit of searching, but Enkei did actually make a wheel that looks just like mine. The Enkei model was called Easyrider. Unfortunately, there are no markings on the wheels, so I have no idea if mine are actually Enkei or not. Here is a picture I found of the Enkei Easyriders.
