Posted June 3, 200420 yr comment_83819 I found some wheels that look great on a z however, I can't find out who makes them. Anybody know what wheels they are and who is the manufacture?Thanks in advance!http://www.virtual1.net/dave/newwheels.htm Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12044-trying-to-idendify-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 3, 200420 yr comment_83820 Well you can't find it because they are made by Nissan they are from I believe an R33 or R34 Nissan Skyline GTR. To make these fit you will need a 5 stud hub. Just to begin with but they are pretty expensive wheels i believe. If you want something just as wild. Panasport C8R's are good I am considering getting these when i get the money some day http://www.naisnet.co.jp/panasport/g7-c8r.htm That or Watanabe's Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12044-trying-to-idendify-wheels/#findComment-83820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 4, 200420 yr comment_83943 Yes and no your unlucky because you didn't get the Skylines they are a good car. You also got a 240sx instead of a 200SX which has the SR20DET(TURBO). The S13 Silvia is a boring non turbo motor over there same with the 180sx they seem to call them 240sx's. However in terms of Z's your are most fortunate. An L28 Turbo can be easily obtained and I just saw one for sale for $200 if someone picks it up. In australia they are very rare and the correct turbo parts ie: dizzy, afm, exhaust and intake manifolds, etc... are almost impossible to find. Also an LD28 crankshaft can be found for ~$180 - $250 over there here such an item is rare to come across and goes for $1100 + was the last one i saw. So it's a bit of a trade off also parts brand new parts for Z's are also easier to obtain and you have alot more 240z's than we do. Guesses here are that there are only 1000 odd left in the country.

June 4, 200420 yr comment_83947 Those do look just like BNR33 wheels, but I don't think they are... have a look at the offset (dish). The wheels on the Z there have a lot of dish, whereas the R33 wheels hardly have any.Or am I seeing things??

June 5, 200420 yr comment_84112 And I guess that's why they have a deeper dish than stock BNR33 wheels. Right? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12044-trying-to-idendify-wheels/#findComment-84112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 5, 200420 yr comment_84114 yep!I'm sure he has the finer details.I think the wheel shop did a three piece conversion on them? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/12044-trying-to-idendify-wheels/#findComment-84114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
