I am located in Northern Califonia -Santa Rosa area, not exactly next door over from the UK. However I do hope to visit someday! I have heard that getting wheels shipped from japan can be rather costly, and I am hesitant to ask about prices on such rare wheels on top of the shipping charges. (however if you do have such information, it would be a great reference to me.) This is why I think it might be better, and more fun, to cast my own, even if it takes more time. It would also be a way for me to spread out the cost over a longer period of time, because I am on a student budget. My '72 240z, HLS30-55504 is in fairly decent shape, but far from what I envision it to be someday. I am especially inspired by the subtle styling differences of the home market Fairladys, though I have yet to drive one. Over the past couple of years I have been accumulating and restoring parts from such cars, which I then stash away for when all the body work is done. I will try to post some pictures as soon as I can get my hands on a scanner. Remy p.s. Alan, I hope you dont mind me reposting that photo from your gallery. Your photo gallery of fairlady zs and PS30s are a great referance as to what I wish for my z to someday look like. likewise, the pics of your z432 replica are truly inspirational. I am fairly new to this site, and do not get to participate as much as I would like to for lack of time (which I usually spend studying).

Thanks for the responses guyes! It would be great if i could find just one of them as they would complement my fairlady z replica project beautifully. I have access to aluminum sand casting facilities where I attend college, and I dont think it should be too hard to take an imprint and cast such a shape a few times. Are you willing to part with one of your extras Alan?

Yes, dont laugh, I know its a pipe dream, but I am looking for a set of 4 or even just ONE Works racing wheel like the ones used in japan or on the safari cars back in the 70's, anybody have any leads?
