mystery wheels...
 

I saw a 280Z today that had the rims I want...

they are like "turbine" style, but either the offset or the rim width makes them just past flush with the fenders on the early style Z.

I think they are stock, but I dont know what year or model... can you help?

here is a link to a pic, but they looked different than this, or mabye its the ride height screwing me up.

I had a set of those on a 77 2+2 that I used to own. Don't recall if they were stock. Good luck finding them. I would shoot a email to the guys at N.O.W (Nissans Only Wrecking). The URL for their site is http://www.ninfiniti.com/. They should be able to tell you if its a stock wheel or not and if they have some on their wrecked vehicles. You can probably fax them a pic also.

Hope this helps

Hi
I may have the wheels you are looking for, they where made by Superior. The shape was known as "Western". Superior also makes OEM wheels for nissan,so they might have been a dealer option.
I will try to post a pic,if I can find a good one.
I have also seen older Ford vans+trucks with the same wheels.

yeah they were like that, except they looked even a bit wider...but it was in passing, do you know the name? were tose stock on any z? or a dealer option like mentioned.

Re: mystery wheels...
 

I've always called them Hurricanes. I think Western is the manufacture. Good luck finding them, though. I bet they don't make 'em any more and may not even be in business.
Try posting a WANTED add on this and other Z car sites.

Man, I wish I had read that earlier this month...I just junked a parts 240 with those rims on it...I would have given them to you. I went with Kasei K1's...they're very nice

Hey,
If your still looking for these wheels, someone in the classifieds section is selling them on E-Bay.

Re: mystery wheels...
 

While we're talking about wheels, is there any place in Canada that supply's Z parts (what im looking for is the "Z" center caps for my rims, I Lost one a little while ago, and i dont want to goto Motorsport (since shipping is usually an arm and a leg, plus border charges). Does anyone know where i can get some of these Center Caps in Canada?
Thanks

billt51,

MotorSport Auto has new replacement hubs for your wheels. Don't know the price, but I'm sure it's less than replating old ones!
