1971z

Im new to the website and new to the Z world. A few months ago i bought a green exterior black interior 1971 240z. Stripped the paint off and planning to paint it burnt orange or lime green. Have the type b tranny and the e88 head.

I like to know has anyone have any pictures of a z with wire rims. Like the ones on the MG midget. If so what you guys thing of wire rims on the Z!

Thanks,

Welcome and congrats on the new Z. Personally, I vote for burnt orange. I dont have any pics, but personally, I think Z's look better with either stock rims (from any year Z.....you pick) or something like panasports. But I'm not saying wire rims would not look good.

Here's some pics that I dug up for you

Thanks for your help, Im going check out those panasports rims you had mentioned. I found yellow z with wire rims but going to check out as many as i can. I will post some pictures when car is complete.

I like the rims that I have on my Z, it gives it a sporty look while still looking semi classic.

those are nice. I like the whole almost centerline type wheels look too. Another option if the type of wheels I have on my car. They fit nicely I think, but they aren't super wide int he back or anything if you're looking for that.

which rims are nice?

I was talking about yours.

Thanks guys for all your help. Easy going people i feel comfortable asking different questions. Thanks

did you decide on a set of wheels? Look at the classifieds of a lot of forums. (zcar.com, hybridz.org, etc) you may be able to find some wheels on there for a cheaper price)

if you like simple, basic rims, try pick n pull. I got my rims there for like 200 dollars.

wow, good find. I like those. They fit the Z pretty well. they look fairly wide in the back as well.

not super wide, but they do go well with the car.
