I have one of these at the house and have often heard them referred to as 'Libra' wheels.

I have also heard them refered to

as 'Libra' wheels. I'm not sure why.

I have not found anything info. written

stating them as sutch.

Eric

If I remember correctly, keep in mind I was born in the late sixties, "Libra" is the model type name that American Racing used when they sold these wheels.

So, who want these rims. There in good shape,

and someone I'm sure needs one or so....

Someone make me an offer, so I can clear up

some space in my basement!

Royce you win the prize even though you were just a tot when these wheels were popular. They do look great on a zcar and have a period correct feel about them. I have a couple of photos of one of my early cars that had a set of these, maybe i can find it a post the photo. Am Racing still makes a set that look similar, but in five spoke design for muscle car applications.

VW I would need to know the rim width and offset of these wheels before I was seriously interested in even considering them. They came in at least three widths, 5.5, 6 and 7 and different offsets were available as the 4 bolt pattern also fit other vehicles. Only the 0 or 1/2 neg offset works well for the Z.

I love these wheels. You mean these:

Dave, are ya trying to say us "older gentleman" remember things that are only a picture in a magazine to some of the younger "Zedheads"?

I remember the Libra wheels quite well, my 280 had a set on it when I bought it back in 87, then I used them on a 82 200sx for a while, since they were 5.5 inch they worked great and looked pretty darn good on the 200sx. BTW, I even now where the complete set is hiding, I have "horse traded" them back and forth two or three times to the same guy, (the same one bought the 280 from), in fact I think they were traded for the same part I had originally, then when I found out the part was NLA, I made sure I got it back.

Guess that means if Royce was a tot, I must have been just a "little bigger tot".

BTW, the AM wheel that is a close copy of this is the 200S, not available in 14 inch, and not available in 4 lug either. They do look good since they are a fully polished wheel, shame they don't have one that will fit a Z anymore, at least not the early cars.
