Before I was a old Z purest. Even more was the fact that I only was really interested in the Fairlady Z's. Now I have come to appreciate the home cars and the exports. (I sound like I am confessing or something..)The more interested I am in the first generation z cars the more I am interested in other Datsun cars of the day. I love the lines of the 510 even if they are not there. As far as this not being a Z site. I think it is 85% Zcar and 15% other stuff. Other stuff is not all Nissan/Datsun either. But as far as a forum goes this one is my favorite. The people are helpful and the cool thing is that we are all enthusiasts. If I were ever to own a non-Zcar by Nissan/Datsun I would like to own a Nissan Skyine(kpgc10). Yeah me and million other people on this forum. hehehhe. They are beautiful. Keep this non-Zcar forum going. If it wasn't for that I may have not learned about the skylines, 510's, etc.. -Ben

Nice car. Are the side mirrors that you have on your Zed the sebring style? I love the flares. What width wheels are you running front and back? Take care and don't do too many burn outs. -Ben

The suggested retail price is 115USD per wheel. I would love to see a picture of a Z with these wheels. They seem like they would fit perfect. They look great on an AE86. -Ben http://ggtyler.com/TechnoToyTuning/konigrewind2

Thanks guys. I feel a little dumb because I am interested in purchasing a set of wheels in the near future, but all I know is that the pcd has to be 114.3 by 4. Here is a newbie question. To get that dish look, what width, diameter, offset, and backspacing should I look for? I do not want to flare or install spacers. Thanks again. Sorry, I know I have been bugging everyone about wats. :stupid: Here is a pic of the deep dish look that I am going for. I would like those wheels too. http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/images/users_photo/z_gin.jpg

I know. I am looking at them and the more I look at them the more I don't like them. I would like that dish look too. Thanks for reafirming that.

I believe they still make these wheels. I went to the konig website a while back and it seemed like they were easy to come by. Have you checked your local konig distributer? I really like those wheels too. They look more Japanese than the panasports. -Ben

I have been looking for some natural finished Watanabe's for my 260z. I wanted 15 by 7j. How would these fit on my car? Would the tires stick out of the wheel wells? Do I have to get special lugnuts for them? If so, how hard are the lugs to find. Thank you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=2426679735 -Ben

This is a great forum. Before I joined I would always look at the pictures. I still do that even if I have looked at the pictures over and over. However, the forum is in my opinion the strongest point of this site because whenever I needed answers the other members were prompt and very helpful due to their vast knowledge about these cars we all share a passion for. Keep up the good work everyone. -Ben

Hey Ozzy, if you look in my gallery you will see a 240 with an SR20det. I don't know much about the engine, but I saw a 510 with 0ne of these motors and I think it was pumping about 310 hp at the flywheel with no internal mods. Just a acu, turbo, and exhaust. The only problem I have with the SR20det is that there is so much wasted room under the Z bonnet. Just get a 3.1 L-series with triple mikuni's. You could get 300hp easy with that engine and there would be little to none fabrication to make the engine fit. Good luck with your car. -Ben
