I hate to invade this forum for this but it's just part of an ongoing search for a wheel that I've not been able to locate. Did this wheel ever show up on any of the Australian Datsuns?

OK not Australia based, but I'm sure I've seen some Datsun 240K's in the UK that had those wheels, and maybe some of the smaller models as well.

You could try datman spares in the UK www.datman.co.uk he has a picture of one of those wheels on his home page.

hope it helps

Thanks, Andrew, I'll drop him a line. But I bet it would be cost prohibitive to ship from the UK to California in the USA.

Yep.

We got those wheels on some C210 Skylines (240K for the UK).

Look real nice when cleaned up and polished.

These wheels were fitted to the C210 Skyline, as mentioned previously. I had a set on my Datsun 1600 (P510) - they're 14 x 5.5"

I repainted the centre black, and polished the rims - they looked sweet!

Is it cheap to ship from Australia to the west coast of the USA?

Its not hugely expensive to ship stuff from the USA to UK, especially if you don't mind waiting a month/6 weeks but I don't know about UK to USA.

Hope you get your wheel soon either way.

I have no idea on the cost of shipping such items however if you want i could try find a set here in Australia for you and maybe your could find me a LD28 crank :cheeky: .

I have a feeling that I have seen something similar to those wheels - if not those ones on late 70s/early 80s Mitsubishi Sigmas - maybe the Wherrett specials?

The Mitsubishi Sigma Turbo model has similar rims

check ebay.com.au there's a guy there always selling this type of rims polished and unpolished

Thanks, but I want Datsun rims. I have a line one some in Great Brittan (Datman). It's just a matter of whether I want to pay the shipping. I'm still trying to decide.

The mitsubishi turbo are very similar even better they are 15 inch, pick them up for about $150au +

Well, I found three of them. I was walking through a local junkyard and saw three of these on a 1981 280ZX 2 + 2! They are in excellent shape but I still have the problem of finding one more. If anyone knows the whereabouts of one, I will entertain all offers.
