15" snowflake wheels

Hey just thought I would share my joy with all of you. I recently last night won a 15" turbo '81 snowflake wheel. And then just for kicks, I asked the seller, if he happened to have any more. And I was surprised when he said, he had another one. So I got 2 for $70 including shipping. What a deal eh? Anyway do any of you guys out there have 2 more you want to get rid of? If I get 2 more of these, I will have every stock wheel for the 280zx. Anyway here is the link if it works right.

Your'e too funny LOL. No I just think it is cool to have all the wheels the 280zx came with. As of now, I have 2 sets of Iron cross, 2 sets of the 6 spoke, 5 Swatztika Turbos, and 2 snowflakes on the way. As for finding 2 more of them, I am in no hurry. I just think it is cool, that I have a couple for now. I can wait, and I know it will be worth it.

With the rarity of the snowflake's, they will begin to appreciate in the next 20 or 30 years...

Cool. I'm a wheel *****, so I know how you feel!

I have 3 sets of swastika's, 2 sets of six spoke and 2 sets of iron cross OEM wheels.

I also have 2.5 sets of CenterLines and 2 sets of OEM steel wheels from my 240z's but currently wearing swastika's.

Dude, why you wastin' time and money on old school tiny little 15" rims? You need to get some hub adapters and some 17's if you wanna run with the big dogs these days . So pony up WildmaN... I'll tell you what, I'll change ny steering wheel when you get some 17" wheels on that bad dog .

Sorry Rod, not going to happen. I don't like wheels bigger than 15" on any car. Even my Firebird has 15" Cragar SS's on her. But if the 17" work for you, cool, just not my scene. Different Strokes, and I can run with the big dogs.(regardless) "wink smiley here"
