Check out these wheels! I really like them, even more than the 5 slot mags. I have never seen these on any car before, let alone a Z. I think they will look good on a old skool type Z or stock Z. They are 14X6's. I will have to find caps, but I think they will be a nice change from what I have seen as far as stock size.

75 Z I installed a new brake booster, 4 piston calipers on the front, disk on the back and a master cylinder off a 82 Z. problem: After putting on brakes in stop and go traffic for about 10 miles the brakes get stiffer and stiffer until they lock up. I can unbolt the master cylinder and the wheels will turn again. bolt it back on and drive again and does it again. question: What is going on man! Is the booster defective? Please help

Getting the Z ready for the rally means Summer tires. Period. Determined not to go 16" rims when I have two sets of 15" rims, means I had to stay within a narrow size band. With the stock body work I was limited to 195/60/15's. When I ran 205/60/15's I had rubbing on the drivers side when I turned the wheel. This is common. So wanting a wider footprint and not wanting to run super short tires, I decided to look for 205/55/15's. The problem is, there is not much on the performance side in this side, but the following two tires... The dunlop Direzza And the Yokohama S drive I am a fan of both of these brands, and I know many of my friends who use the Direzza with …

I just ordered a set of BRE Datsun Le Mans-style Wheels from Brock Racing Enterprises. They are the 15x6 with 3mm offset. Since I'm putting my car together in the BRE "style", I would really like the tires to be Goodyears with raised white lettering. I can google images of these tires to find them, but when I try to find them through a distributor in specific sizes, all I can find are black walls only. Also, whats a good size tire for these rims. I'm thinking 205 60r15. BTW, this car is stock. Except for a header and 1" drop Tokiko spring kit. Any suggestions?

Series 1 240z with Toyota pickup calipers? Currently the stock refreshed master vac and new master cylinder don't cut it.... not enough power assist and too much excursion. I am thinking an 83 280zx master with larger master vac that can fit w/o drilling firewall... but which one?

Rusty Lug Nuts: What aftermarket brand has the best metal? I found that Canadian Tire nuts are junk and most that come on Z's we get from the south rust. The only ones that hold up are the Toyota stock ones that I bought from the dealer or that came on cars I bought... any recommendations?

So now that I have my coil-overs on the car I am looking for my rims and tires. I know what I want and have some ideas about where to get them. I would like to hear where you bought your wheels so we may make a list of possible suppliers. http://www.racinglab.com/ http://www.wheeldude.com/wordpress/ http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/WWC http://www.18racing.com/index.html

Before Lost one set of lugs had to switch back to the 280z wheels. I pretty much bought that set of 280zx wheels in rough shape, but sanded them down and polished them out and repainted them myself.

I try and do my work without bothering other people because I'm weird and hate to be bothered myself. So if these bleeders do what they say it would be great for 1 man work. Any personal expirences? I would appreciate your thoughts.
