utvolman99 Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Well, since starting on my V8 Z I have stumbled upon several good deal and this one might be one of the better. I was telling a guy I worked with about my project and he said that he used to have a 76 that he really loved. He showed my some pictures and mentioned that he still had the wheels in his garage. He ended up letting me have them for $40! He had the window sticker and showed me where they were a $400 option in 76. They are only 14x7 Western four slot mags but that should give me room for plenty of meat under the car. Did a lot of Z cars come with the Western wheels or was this just some sort of odd ball dealer option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I had those wheels on two different cars, and apparently that was an option by some of the dealers trying to give local aftermarket support to their customers. BBS was another popular company that dealers would work through, and I had a set of those BBS Mesh wheels in 14X8 on one of my cars...Sold them for $300 in 1992....

Guest timhypo Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Can someone post a pic of those wheels? I think that's what came on my '72 240z... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Mine had a aftermarket aluminum slot as well, I'm not sure of the brand, it had a "P" on the center cap. The only issue with mine was the backset was to shallow and the backs (205/70/14's) would rub the fenderwell lip on moderate cornering. I think the backset was like 3.x inches. They looked ok on there though, thats a pretty good score for 40 bucks. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
