HAY I don't want to make money. I just want to swap for a set of aluminum slots 15" that would fit my ZXT. Anyone got any to trade?

Can you post a picture of them so we all know what you mean by snowflake?

Well, it is my understanding that the snowflake wheels were only offered in 1981 on the Turbo's- making them somewhat rare... That said, i guess they are like anything else, worth whatever the market will bear.

Maybe try checking zcar.com where more zx/t info abounds?

Someone in our local club www.zccr.net was looking for those awhile back i think- i'll broadcast a message to members about your post.

Yep Thats what I though they were. Standard on the 280ZX turbo I believe. Which I dont think we got here in OZ, so I guess that would make them almost impossible to find down under.

Auxillary's got them on his car with the recessed parts painted black, and they look cool.

I believe they were also the only 15 inch wheels available from the factory until 84 if I remember correctly. :ermm:

For anyone needing a bigger pic of the snowflake wheel, or a selection of wheels that will fit the Z's. This page on Zparts.com provides for good reference.

Wheels and loads of them

**EDIT** just checked the page, no snoflakes on it at the moment, where last time I checked. Still a good page of wheels to look at.

I have an 81 ZXT with that exact wheel. Was wondering what the stock tire size is for it. I don't have an owners manual and have looked all over the car for the info. Can't find. It has P235/60S/15R's on it now. I think they are too tall. Does anyone know the original size for this car?

Stock tire size on the '83 ZXT is 205-60 x15 with the "swastika" rim which is also 15x6...

I would assume the '81 ZXT would use the same tire sizing...
