Wheels & Brakes

Just as stated. Want to buy 16x7 panasports in silver painted. PM me for details

There is currently a group buy for Rota RB wheels taking place at Hybridz.org site. These wheels look like Wats, but for a 1/3 of the price $750 shipped to your house. The sizes are 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 any offset. A total of 25 buyers needed for this price. I know that it is impossible to get a set of wheels this wide for this price. Alex

Hi I would like to have a set of konig wheels on my 240z, may be in 14" or 15". Anybody knows someone that sells them at good price? I read in some "old" posts before that, there was a company that sold them 55 USD per wheel! Does anyone knows if that still available? Another question that I have is what`s the size of the original tires on the 240z! It is 175/70/R14 or 175/80/R14? Thank You Filipe Azvedo

I took one wheel cover, removed the center and stripped all the paint off. It is a very nice chrome underneath. They might look good this way. Anyone seen them on a car all chrome like this? The masking off is what took the most time. I went and masked off ALL of the dished areas, the rest was masked as original. My thinking is, there is no break line on the inner edge of the dish, so leave it and the bottom tang (?) chrome. See if it adds a little more chrome to the lower portion of the soon to be 115 blue, black tires, dark rims, or if it seems a bit too much chrome. I used Dupli-Color Wheel Coating WP-102 Graphite. This # was taken down some time ago as closes…

I inspected my brake shoes yesterday and the thickness was fine but the surfaces had several cracks. Drums were fine. Is this normal or is it a sign of over-heating ? I have done a couple of track days recently. Anything to worry about - should they be replaced ?

Heloo, I was searcing the forum and found no direct answer in regards to this specific question for a 1977 280Z Trying to see if a 14x8 rim with a -13 offset clear the front wheel well without rubbing or the need for fender flares. Also how will they fit the rear. I used a tire calcutar on this website here http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp with the above demision with 14x7 Zero offset on 215/60/14 tires for the first wheel on left which is what I have on front. And compared them with 14x8 -13 offset on same tires for the second wheel to the right. Specs show my rims are 4 inch backspace aswell as the 14x8 -13's. But my rims are 7 inches wide and stick out 3 in…

Hi guys, I need some advice on what to do with my break booster issues. I have std z32 300zx rear discs and calipers and R32 GTR front discs and calipers and I need to sort out a brake booster master cylinder system that will work with those calipers and (hopefully) fit right onto my 240k Skyline C110 1973. You can see the original booster fitted to the 240k was a joke and I swear it took power away from the brakes instead of giving it. I've been informed that I could use a 240Z booster and a vertical mounting holes 280zx master cylinder 15/16ths ratio and that this would be a direct bolt on system that will work fine with the calipers. Does any one know if this will w…

i've read through all the guides and played with all the calculators, but wheel fitment just confuses me... 73 240z with spring/strut combo. i know most people run 8 inches wide with 0 offset. would 15 x 8.5 inches wide, -6 offset on all 4 corners fit? i'd have rubbing/fitment issues right?

Anybody have a good supplier of original parts? Primarily a center cap for a '80 280 ZX 10th Anniversary wheel. My cap had the center plastic portion fall out on the way to a show. I want a good condition OEM since the car only has 6600 miles on it and is in showroom condition.

Saw these on Craigslist. Don't know if they are real or copies. No connection with the seller, either. Thought someone might be interested.
