6-slot mags

[v12horse]

If you want to have the wheels Victor has on his extremely clean Z, here they are. They are really nice with the dish look and the only 6-slotted wheels I have seen have been on Victor Laury's car and on the revell 240z model kit.

Interesting look to the wheels. Usually see 5 slot, not six.

Seller claims "OEM Factory". Doesn't know what he's taking about.

I'm saying the same things everyone else is. Factory original.....c'mon now.

[Victor Laury]

Wow!

I have this fellow chasing me around, trying to buy the wheels off my car for years! I wish I could get a hold of him and tell him about these.

The story I have is, In 1970, This was the only dealer option wheel availible as Nissan N.A. made a purchase agreement with Pacer Wheels. Then in 71, the 5 slots came availible at a lower cost, with no appretiable difference to the customer.

I'm always looking for more info. What I have maybe wrong. My only sources are Les, a book from his collection, and the following,

This set was bought from Torrence Datsun in February 1970 fitted to my SRL Roadster. The original steel wheel set was retained, and I still have them, but the funny thing is that they have the z car "D" hubcaps instead of the roadster baby moons. I wish the Original owner kept the dealer paperwork. Heck, he kept everthing else! I've never owned such a well documented car.

So, it would seem that this wheel set would be more "correct" on a 69~70 HLS30. They look good and I like them, but at 5.5 wide, they're a bit too skinny for my taste. They can't go back on the roadster. With the Nissan Motorsports suspension, even that skinny, a 0 offest wheel hits the fenders hard. On the Z, I dream of Wats. 16'' panas in gunmetal is second choice.

Hey Victor, I thought my mags were 14 by 6", but I took one off and it read 14 by 5.5j on the reverse side. I thought it was a little skinny myself, but .5" wouldn't make a real difference. I like Pananasport and Watanabe wheels as well, but 16" is just wee big for my taste. However, I did see a beautiful 240 with 16" Panasports.
