I bought my 71 240Z with these wheels already installed. The only markings on them is in Japanese and is roughly translated as "Racing God". Does anyone recognize what brand wheel this is?

They must be Japanese. Do you need to replace one? Can't think of anything except maybe a Google image search. Not that good, I find. They come up with 'sorta' and 'maybe' stuff.

Or maybe Ebay Japan. イーベイ（eBay）公式セラーポータル� ��イト If you can get Google to translate the site for you, you might do a search for them or offer them for sale and see if anyone can identify them. Enough people speak enough English there to respond so you can read it. Or use Google translate again. Good luck!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I don't need to replace the wheel but am looking for the center cap that I assume came with them when new. No crisis if I can't find them. Maybe they flew off during one of many launches (383 stroker chevy est 450hp).

Awsum vehicle! How 'bout some more pics? Under the hood, too!

About that center cap, if you give a cap you have to a craftsperson, they can shape one just like it out of bake-able plastic that gets hard when you heat it in an oven. If it has an exposed metal face, one could be matched, cut out and adhered to the plastic. More than one way to skin a cat. Right now, I have two center caps on my turbo - held in place with velcro. I recommend it as cap loss-prevention insurance. Works great at any speed, wet or dry.

Here are some more random shots of the exterior and interior. 95% of the work was done by three previous owners. I live in South California and bought it from a guy in Virginia Beach, Va. Unfortunately I haven't been able to speak with previous owners to understand how the car was built. What I'm doing is working out the bugs and making it more streetable and more to my taste. I've recently replaced the tires, installed new strut cartridges and replaced the super stiff springs with Eibach variable rate springs. They keep the lower ride height but smooth out the ride. I replaced the area where the radio was with a piece of aluminum and another Auto Meter gauge, replaced the foot pedals etc. Because a friend of mine has a very similar 383 Chevy that was dyno'd the estimate of 450hp is valid.
Thanks for asking about the BEAST!

Amazing. And totally deceptive. You could make a week's pay here on Friday and Saturday nights just street racing our Hondaleros! They are very confident. (Just never open your hood for 'em.)

What a streaker that must be. I would be replacing rear tires every month. Great buy... and stay safe with her.
