What wheels are these?

Is that your 1970 240Z in the picture, doesn't look like a 1970 to me, unless someone replaced the rear quarter with a later model due to the fresh air vent being on the side, rather than in the rear hatch like the 1970 model had. Just curious.

Bambi, I think he might have been referring to rechroming the center caps, rather than the wheels, as the wheels are obviously on the car and not out being rechromed. LOL

The center caps have either a stylized D in the center... Looks to be the same as the D in Datsun. Maybe that is a bit of help...

Gary you are correct. The original hatch was replaced with one from a 71 quite a long time ago. The car (as far as I can tell) is all original other than the hatch not having the leaky vent hole.

I believe that the wheels are period. But, I wanted someones elses opinion before I decided to restore the wheels as well.

I had those same wheels on my 260z (see photo gallery) up until yesterday. From what Im told (from original owner) mine were put on as a dealer installed item (not factory) but put on at the dealer back in like 1975 I love them but they were 14x6 so it was hard to find tires because I wanted bigger wider tires so I bought some 15' rewinds

Who me? Appliance fine wires? Not me!! I hear these wheels are impossible to balance

Victor,

Check the 15th post on this thread, those are the wheels I am talking about, the pic of the wires didn't come up when I posted yesterday! Come Victor, you are a wheeljunky-I can't imagine you haven't ever played with a set of wires...
