LS1 240Z Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 its my understanding that the wheels on the cars in the links below are a reproduction of older Z wheels http://www.sr240z.com/sr240z/sr240z.htm http://gallery.voodoo-people.com/album599 i was wondering where these wheels can be purchased at, specificly the offest of wheels that dosent need the fender lips..(the wheels on the bottom link) im debating whether or not i should do a 5 lug front conversion because i really love the way these wheels look...

240hoke Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The wheels on alex's car are wantanbes 16x8 front and 16x9.5 rear. They can only be ordered out of Japan and are not reproduction wheels! Very expensive I believe around 2200 for a set. I believe Quoc (240zMaster) can get you a set now. The wheels on my car are Panasports, a classic american racing wheel -- They are very simlilar to the English Minilites, not sure who came first. They have been around for a very long time. Look to Classic Datsun for a set of panasports -- they many times have them in stock and are very good people to work with. A full set of panasports with caps, and stems will run you about 1200 bucks. They come in a 16x7. MSA sells them too, but you never know whats gonna happen when you deal with them. Both those wheels are availible in 4 lug, in the correct offset etc. The konig rewinds were mentioned but I dont think your gonna be able to fit a serious set of brakes behind those since they are only in 15's. However they are much more affordable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
