260ZRED Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 What do you guys think? Anybody knows what these are called? Are they the "Apllicance" wheels? Any history or compnay name behind these rims? I couldn't find any labels but I haven't cleaned them properly yet. The dish is exactly 3 inches deep...

NZeder Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 260ZRED, what are the specs of the rims and the tires - I bet they will look great installed. You have to love the deep dish wow 3" on an old school rim like that, very very rare I would think these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Polish, polish, polish!!! Meh, what a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260ZRED Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 stamped: "14x7 JAPAN" and nothing more. The look to be made out of the same quality alloy oem nissan uses, maybe even softer than that. Polish easy so far I guess I'll post better pics when I'm done polishing. The honey comb center section is gonna be a PITA to do... all those little individual lines! For the outer lip I'm thinking Im just gonna mount them on the Altima, raise her, and put it in D, and just hold some 100grit to the wheels. I think it will work well, its the same concept I always use to polish SU covers (done 4 sets), I just clamp them on a lathe and let them spin, while holding sandpaper to it. Anybody else do that?? Or am I the only crazy guy here lol.. any polishing tips on the center section? Maybe just sandblast that sucker and spray some black paint?? Very tempting... The tires are BFGoodrich G-Force DOT legal slicks.. Can't wait to see how well they grip.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Driver Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 The wheels look nice and those slicks look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Spinning em around to polish is a good idea. If you used a bunched up cloth with cutting compound on it you could do the centers that way too. After mine were polished they were hit with a couple of coats of POR Glisten clear coat. It takes away a bit of the shine but saves having to do them again. Just don't try to brush it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Arent those going to stick way out of the wheel wells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Yup. I had a set of those on the very first Z I owned... Very nice and tasteful. I agree with the others... Polish them! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
