Hmmmm, Enkei works rally wheels. Are they the superlites? I think that is what they are called. 8-spoke and 14 by 7j? I have no clue if they are works rally wheels, but I think I have heard them referred to as being competition wheels of the era. Pics would be nice. Cheers, Ben

The 350z??? This is a car that I question wether I like or not. I say I don't like them, but when I see one I oooh and awwwweee. If I stopped comparing it to the early Z's I would like it a lot more. All and all, go fast for cheap, too many plastic bits, but a great car. If it were my choice, I would get the exact one you explained seerex. I sure do like the nismo version though. Take care, Ben:classic:

That's interesting because I have never seen those wheels on a US spec Z before. I thought that all of the 280z's came with steel wheels and hubcaps. Interesting find. I could be very wrong about this as I know very little about 280z's, so please do not get offended. Take care, Ben

Proxlamus, you have some really nice pictures of your car on car domain. You should post some of those on the forum too. I am sure many people have not seen those pics. Regards, Ben

I know these aren't iron cross wheels, but what about these? It seems that you could get them for cheap. These would make your car stand out even more. they look good polished too. Anyways, just a thought. -Ben http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2453112670&category=9903

No, these wheels were put on european exports and the Australian cars.

Someone maybe able to get a steal for a set of Aussie export 260z wheels. If the price stays this low someone will be getting a great deal even if shipping was a couple hundred dollars in USD. They would not be my choice of wheel, but for anyone interested and don't mind doing a little work to make them pretty again, then this is your chance. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2453112670&category=9903 Good luck, Ben

OMG!!! kyteler, that looks awesome. I was thinking that all gunmetal or gunmetal with a polished lip would look good. Now I know. Thanks again:classic: Awe, my car with Watanabe's:love: Take care, Ben

That is some pretty awesome photoshop skills datto. Can you do that to my car? hehehehe. But with saome watanabe's. Just kidding -Ben

By the way, how is your car coming along Proxlamus? When will it be out of the shop? It looks as good as new from the pictures that you posted on the headlight cover thread. Ben

Hello, Like everyone has said, it is your choice and your Z. As far as color, I like gunmetal. Like I said, it is completely personal, but in my opinion, the polished wheels look good, as mine are polished. However if you want a less shiney and more Japanese look to your car, gunmetal always looks good, especially with red. Here is a pic of Guus's car with gunmetel iron cross wheels if you had not seen it before. I am sure that if you choose to polish the wheels or paint them gunmetal it will look good either way. I would do without the black accents, but that is just me. It may suit your car since you have more black in various places. http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=3890&password=&sort=7&thecat=998 Take care, Ben:classic:

This is a joke that I heard a long time ago. Now that there is a humor section I will post it. Here it goes. Hehehehe There was this snail that wanted to buy a Z. The only problem that he had with the car was all the Z emblems on it. He told the Nissan/Datsun dealer that he wanted to buy a Z, but instead of "Z" he wanted the emblems to say "S." At first the dealership would not do it, but they finally gave in... Later, some one saw the snail driving and said, "look at that S cargo." Hehehehe. Get it??? It is so dumb I know. I think it is cute though. I hope you make some nerdy laughs from reading this. Maybe a snort if anything. LOL Take care, Ben

Don't give up Victor, we are all hoping that it comes back to you. But, I can see how you feel with little hope of seeing your baby coming back. Your car and the color of your car is very unique and there are a lot of us who will be looking out for your car even if they did not respond to this forum(all over the globe). So, hopefully it will be spotted or found, but don't give up hope. I don't think many people would steal a Z to take to a chop shop and if they sell the car as is, someone is bound to spot it. I hope I am not giving off false hope, just cheering you on. -Ben

Hello Victor, I wish we were talking about a better note. This is a horrible mess to be in. I will keep my eyes peeled up here and if I see anything I will definately pm you. This is horrible. I just hope that if and when you find it that it was not abused and that the people that stole it just took it for a joyride. Good luck on your search. -Ben

That sounds pretty awesome Alfa. 14 X 9's, that is some wide Wat's. What size are you putting up front? Some one told me tht you have to have the Watanabe lugnuts in order for the wheels to fit. From what you said it sounds true. Is it? Your car is going to look great. I can't wait to see pics. Ben

Those are nice looking bodies. I have seen a lot of the 240zg bodies on ebay, but I forgot how much they went for. When I was younger I had a tamiya 1/10 scale BMW rc car. That was a lot of fun. Ben

Invert the sad face Ben. Your car is nothing but beautiful and the superlites look great too.:classic: Here in the states I have never seen or heard of superlites. Where abouts are they made? Ben

More and more people are getting Watanabe's for their cars. I love it. Hey Alfa, how is your GTR replica coming along? If I remember correctly, you have the Watanabe's for the front, but not the rear. You will have to post pics of her. Nice find kytyler. I hope it works out well for you. Take care everyone, Ben
