   I found perfect 72 Z hubcaps

   I follow-up on my tread below for one perfect hubcap. ZParts asked me $350.00 for a set of three and never wanted to part out with only one no matter my offer in excess of $100.00 for one only. I have bought a full concours set of four to get just one. I will keep one as a spare and I have two for sale. They have perfect original center Z logos and paint. Anybody interested can send me a private message. .

   240z vs 260z hubs

   Can a 240z rotor go on a 260z hub? I'm thinking by doing this I will gain 11mm each side, just like having wheel spacers. Overall the 240 & 260 assemblys ( hub&rotor ) are the same size and fit both 240 & 260 struts, The differance is the 240 hub is 52mm and the 260 hub is 43.5mm and as such the 260 hub sits 11mm longer than the 240 hub to compensate Has anyone combined the longer 240 rotor and 260 hub or see any problems with it? thanks

   Konig Rewind photoshop 1 2

   Hi all, i'm looking into getting some Konig Rewinds - seem like pretty good value to me. Anyway, i've done some pretty (read: very) dodgy photoshop work and have superimposed them over the top of my wheels. I'm just after some opinions of what people think looks the best. If i had my way i'd have black with a polished lip on a white or silver car - but i reckon red is too dark a colour to have black wheels. The jellybean wheels are what i've got on it at the moment and are 14s. I think i'm going to get 15" Rewinds. Opinions...

   Anyone know if the hand brake cables are interchangable from '70 to '78? The microfiche shows several part numbers. I have one that is listed for a '74 260Z only and want to know if it applies to the other years also. Thanks. Michael

   yokohama AVS E100

   Anyone running these tires on their cars? I ve shod my Z's with 60 series rubber for years, but its hareder to find H speed rated 14's these days. I did find these newer Yoko's in a 205-60-14 size though. They look real aggressive, maybe to much for a vintage look, but i want the best handling I can get. I did have 215 widths in the past. Do you think it will A. throw the speedo off too much or B. hurt handling with a narrower tread than ive run before?

    A friend of mine is going to Japan for business and said he would be willing to get me a set of Watanabe's so I can save on shipping. Does anybody know of a distributor/wheel shop there that I can direct him to?

    Hey guys was wondering if anyone knew where to find mag lug nuts for AR Libres. Everywhere I go they have short or long shank, but it seems like these wheels need something like a medium shank which I can't find anywhere. Thanks Chris

    The infamous Sakura Wheels to be reproduced?

    I've been following this thread on the club4ag.com site for a while. I think it may interest a few of you hard core JDM old school (original f'n school) fans. http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=&whichpage=1&TOPIC_ID=117456 Whatta ya think. Will it get off the ground? If they did make them, would anyone buy them? How about my question. Would reproducing them lessen their legendary status?
