Well im thinking of doing a kind of vintage race car look, and i wanna do it like someone would build a performance car back in 1972, you know twice pipes, triple wbers and such, and well im looking for some wheels that were around in that period that would fit it, prefferably in black.

These are some nice looking wheels. I don't know about the price though. I didn't like them when I first saw them, but they have grown on me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=2433415270 Here is a pic of a sweet looking Z sporting these wheels. I think the ones in the pic are 14''. I am not 100%, but 98% anyway. http://www.classicZcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4821&password=&sort=7&thecat=500 -Ben

About a week ago I saw a pic of this graphite gray '71 240 with fairlady fenders. It had the CCW rims on it. What was the size of those rims and did anyone catch what tires where on it? Thanks: Brian

ok so i went to toyota to get a new set of dust seals and retaining rings for my brakes (s12 8). in this set, they included a set of plastic rings....and i can't seem to get them to fit. without the rings the dust seals and retaining rings fit perfectly. does anybody know if i need the plastic ring things? The sooner someone replies the better. Thanks everybody I appreciate it. regards, chris

If you know what car can anyone tell me exactly what size offset and tire he is running? I know they are CCW wheels, but they are made custom, so i was wondering what he did. Im not good at tire sizing, and i dont wanna sit around with a tape measure to figure it out.

Hello fellas, I mean all of you can't list everyone so this message goes out to everyone who has been involved in my wheel dilemma. Please go to these two places. AKH wheels.com and click any Ansen sprint wheel you can get up. Also go to Boyd Coddington wheels you can put that in as keyword and click on signature series- classic and tell me what you think of both the ansens and coddingtons the coddingtons are a little out of my price range but the Ansens are $390.00 for a set of four which I thought are pretty good and he is polishing a 14x6 set now for me to look at. Let me know what you think thanks Burt:tapemouth

My brake fluid is a little low and I want to fill it up but don't know what to use. I don't know what is in their right now so what is safe to put in? Dot 3, 4, or 5? This winter I will be doing the entire brake system(lines, big brakes, rotors etc.) so I'm trying to be cheap right now.
