chunk Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ok, so im right in the middle of a SBC swap into a 78 280z. I am far from being in a situation where I can actually think about spending money on cosmetic details, but i guess you could say Im planning ahead. I eventualy want new wheels. I really like the look of some steel truck wheels. My z is dark brown and would (IMO) look killer with some simple steel wheels. Just an example of the look I like: They are cheap, available, and they arent common (on z's at least)... Is there any reason I shouldnt go with something like this? It wont be a track car, its not going to be paticularly high performance, but if the weight of a wheel makes a big enough deal I may consider other options. Maybe there is another aspect im overlooking? The fact that I rarely see these type of wheels on cars makes me think there is some good reason that I shouldnt be using them... Can you manage to talk me out of steel wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I like them. Go for it. They will give it that Blues Brothers "cop car look" or the nascar look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknc90 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 You might want to search "diamond racing wheels" on here to get a better idea of how they'll look and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
