sorry guys for grammar the keyboard is was from europe so... ok hers the deal. I have 2 240z a grey one(73) and a red one(72) the red one is for parts and has 4 aluminum (i think)original rims with Z hub caps and it says "nissan" in some small letter, and in the other 240z (73) it has another ones that dosent have Z hub caps and i cant find nissan or datsun everywere, does that mean that they are not factory. The wheels of the 240z (73) are diferent the rear ones from the front ones some are wider and i dont know if datsun made factory wheels that were different rear from fronts. I will later try to put some pics here thx guys

when i said that i cant find nissan or datsun i meant the small letters in the rim that tells me that they are factory or original. sorry i dont know english much

taken a look through the gallery? Maybe find a picture that is similar and then direct people there, or even answer your own question.

Just my .02¢.....

240Z's came with STEEL wheels and hubcaps from the factory. We will need pictures of what wheels you have in order to tell you anything.

After-market (possibly dealer installed) Aluminum wheels in fairly bad condition, missing center caps.

Early 1980's Western brand mesh style? That's my guess. Nice offset on them, good deep dish. Keep them, get them polished and repaint the centers. Lug nuts at any Pepboys. Then, people will say "Nice Wheels!"

Victor:

That style of wheel dates further back than 80's. I bought a 71 240Z with those (or very similar) wheels installed in 1977, and they appeared to have been on the car (or at least "some car") for a long time. Similar condition to richyboycaldo's.
