Anyone seen a wheel like this before?

This is a 14" wheel. I have two that came with a Datsun I bought. I've never seen one like it before. Is this even a Nissan wheel or some other make?

Bleach,
This looks like an aftermarket wheel from the 70's . Note the oval shaped mounting holes . This wheel was used with washers that fit what ever off set you had. Not sure of what brand it is though.

ok, I did have those washers. I think I might have lost a couple. These came on my Fairlady Z and I was wondering if they were something special. I guess not. thanks for the info

Like my signature says, it is a 1970 (240Z) Fairlady Z.

Original headlight covers with chrome trim. Original 5-speed (not close-ratio), foot rest for passenger side, underdash AC, "rally" clock in dash, early style seats and steering wheel, original L20 engine with SU's.

I've actually had it a while but am just now cleaning up some extra junk around my yard and garage so I came accross these wheels again. But no, I haven't done any work on the Fairlady. I'm planning to restore it to original condition, no customizing. how can you with S30-00931???

and a fair lady she is indeed

theres only one kind of car that can look that crummy (no offense) and that absolutely beautiful at the same time.. bleach..

have fun with that one. outside of mailmen and other service vehicles, ive only ever seen one right-hand drive vehicle on the road.. and that was like a 1993 subaru or something...

i saw your car list, and thought.. "thats the only real Z (no X) he has? well, thats the one to pick i guess..."

ive seen lots of OEM nissan rims and ive never seen that, and id wager that its just some generic mag from the seventies... the nissan mags tend to have a certain feel about them, and that certainly does not fit the bill, IMHO.
