   my brother is getting rid of his current wheels on his saab, and has offered them to me for free. Currently the Z has the originals on with a set of good tires. the saab ones are 15" alloy rims, with new last summer tires. they are wider I believe too. I'm not sure about it really, and would welcome some input from you all. [edit] the rims look a bit too big in that picture. also, I think the offset is the same[/edit]

   Any experience with BFG Radial T/As???? 1 2

   Hi All, I recently bought my '74 260, and the tires on it are about 20 years old and cracking (although they are almost new in terms of tread). I'd like to upgrade to 16" Panasports at some point, but I actually really like the 14x7 wheels that are on the car (I believe they're called "Hotwires"??), and would like to take a bit of a breather before blowing money on wheels and tires (maybe next year). So far the selection of 215/60R14 tires seems pretty weak - no more Yokie AVS-i or even A509s available, only all-season crap. I've come across a good deal on a set of BFGoodrich Radial T/As at Canadian Tire - clearout at CAD70 each. Anyone use these tires? How are they? …

   I'll likely be lowering it 1-1.5" in the next few weeks, will 15x8 Centerlines fit the car without whacking the fenders? Thanks, Ayan

   Anyone know whether the rear windscreen demisters are available? As a separate part from the glass itself? I have a 75 280Z and have got a early 240 glass to go in but I want to get hold of the defroster. Anyone got any ideas?
