I got the Yokos for $272 shipped to my house. Plus they have a $25 rebate on the tires. $247 bottom line.

DTD ships for free as well.

In my case the tire dealer I use doesn't sell Yoko's. He can get them but not at DTD's price.

http://www.classicdatsun.com/ Give him a buzz. Les had the best price of all the Panasport dealers. All shipments come from the west coast warehouse so my cost will be higher than yours.

Ordered the 15 X 7 Panasports from Les@ClassicDatsun today. Yoko AVID H4S tires are coming from DiscountTireDirect.

Ordered my 15 x 7 Panasports from Les@ClassicDatsun today! :classic:

I bought a couple of extras last night if anyone needs one. PM me.

Check here. They sell a great piece. http://www.ztherapy.com/

I think I am going with the 15 x 7 Silver Panasports from Les @ Classic Datsun & the Yokohama AVID H4S P205/60R-15's.

In looking in the gallery here, I noticed two cars running the 15 x 7 Konigs with the caps. "dnald" & "Capt Mark" galleries both show these wheels with the Konig caps installed.

What's the latest on the caps?

My wheels are in very good shape. Two are slightly bent but balance & drive OK. I have decided to go with new Pana/Konigs vs. redoing them. Tires are almost new. OEM lugs & center caps are included. PM or email me.Thanks!

Don't shot the messenger guys I am just passing on what Eric sent me. I figure they are worth it to someone redoing a car in stock form.

Steve this is what I got from Eric at Z Parts.Mark Saw your Nissan OEM wheels for sale post on IZCC and thought I better give you a friendly heads up about those rare OEM wheels being worth at least $400.-$600. per set (non bent, without original OEM caps or tires) Being polished, their worth may be much greater to the right buyer. Difficult to be certain about the later, however. Currently, I have a set of the same wheels for sale on my site that the curious can inspect the OEM detail of close up at http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/wheels_fs.html If caps are in very good to excellent condition they are easily worth $100. - 150. per set used by themselves to collectors. I sold a new set of 4 of those caps 2 years ago for $200.00 & the buyer thought that was a bargain after looking for 3 years for those unique, "square" looking, OEM caps which are now NLA from Nissan. Although Nissan fiche shows these wheels as being originally available on a 4/73 model (240Z?), they were not available, or at least sold, in the US, to my knowledge, until the Black Pearl model was released in the US in 1978? In Europe they seem to have been relatively common on models I have seen photos of there, usually on European 260Z models, which sold on up through 1979, I believe? Perhaps someone on the list more knowledgeable, can correct my semi accurate dates, models and guesstimates. If you are a close drive to a major airport and a buyer appears which is also near such, some of my wheel/tire combo seller contacts tell me that you can ship a set of 4 wheels with mounted tires between airports via "Forward Air" air carrier or similar sounding company, for an affordable amount ($80.-$100?) whereas through most other freight carriers such as UPS, it'll cost a buyer an unsettling amount of money. 4 wheels without tires, 2 per box will run somewhere in the $30-$45. range to most areas of the US, via FedEx. -- ____________________________ ERIC NEYERLIN - owner of ZPARTS.COM http://www.zparts.com ____________________________

In the 205/60-15 tires I am looking at the Falken Ziex ZE-512 for $200 shipped or the Yokohama Avid H4s for $260.38 shipped.

Thanks keep the info coming. Arne sounds like we are at the same point. I def. want 15" X 7' rims in silver for my '78 280z. First choice is Panasport for sure if cost is no issue. My '71 240Z has Panasports with 205/60-15's. The Konig Rewinds are a great deal but there is the center cap issue. I can get a new set of Konigs & tires for less a set of Panasports cost & have money left over. Leaning towards the 205/60-15 tire as well. It seems to be an upgrade to the stock size, reasonable number of choices and cheap. The 205/55-15 is a great size but as you say hard to find and costly.

I have a stock height '78 280Z and am looking to purchase Panasport/Konig Rewind 15 x 7 silver rims. For this setup my tire choices appear to be: 205/60 15 225/50 15 225/55 15 I have used the tire calculator & the top & bottom sizes appear to be closest to my stock 195/70 14's. Recommendations?

Maybe. They have an assortment of caps....http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/WCC

I checked and it no longer current.......

Where do I go to check on the NASA deal?

MSA sells their own Z center caps with their Rewinds. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/WWC19/25-1065 Do they work better than the Konig supplied caps? Anyone test them?

What tires are you running? Got any pics of the car close up?

I have been informed these wheels in good condition bring from $400-$600 with the center caps bringing $100-$150 per set. Asking $550 plus shipping. PM or email me if you are interested.

Please get me the info on NASA. Sounds like it is well worth the $40 to get that deal.

Cool. NASA? What did you do about the center caps?
