Anyone ID this rim style?

[AxtellZ]

Hi all,

we just picked up an early 74 260Z, rust bucket- but some useful parts at least. Has rims i've not seen before, can anyone identify them? (14 inch)

I'll try to attach the pic...

again..

Hi Axtell, I'd like to try but you'd need to repost your picture ... while your searching for it.. do you or anyone else know what wheels these are??

Thanks

This is a picture of the Z Car shop owner's car here in Brisbane (Alan Stean). Looks like a picture from the Race to the Sky rally in New Zealand. The car is driven by Ross Dunkerton.

I think they call these turbo wheels. Maybe you could email Alan at the Z Car workshop and ask him directly.

I beleive that he has taken these rims off and has the original Nismo racing wheels back on the car.

If I'm not mistaken, they look like the 15 x 6 R30 Skyline wheels.

OK, i guess i am impaired, but the pic appeared this morning for me:stupid: So i have put it in my gallery, since i can't seem to make this happen here at work.

George- those rims are known as "Turbine" style here, i have a set exactly like that on my silver 73:love: I believe that there were a few manufacturers that made similar wheels; Appliance, Western Wheels, etc.

I got mine on Ebay a few years back-

Thanks, Jeremiah

240Z-

Check the wheels in my galery......they look similar by looking at the photo. Mine are Western Wheel with I believe 13 spokes Appliance made a similar one called Vector that had a few more spokes than the ones I have. My gallery has a close up of the wheel.

Hi Axtell here, i think, is the wheel you want identifying.. love the yellow Z thing.

Looks to be from a '80-'83 Plymouth Sapporo / Dodge Challenger.

These wheels are known to fit the Z.

Bill - thank you, for the name of the wheels... they look good Nice Z too..

Here you go Axtell, on a Plymouth Sapporo. They'd look much nicer on a Z, don't you agree

[AxtellZ]

Well, yes, they do look better on the Z- but we hoped they were some rare, valuable (sellable) piece. Of course on Ebay, you can always find someone glad to overpay!

Thanks for the help!

oops sorry man.. you shouldnt have asked to ID them... I see the ebay title now "Very Rare Datsun Z Wheels" Starting bid $500

Don't worry at least now you can get the Ebay title correct and sell them to a Sapporo owner!
