Hi, I the body shop after a month there for restoration a rim desapeared its a 70 240z, vin is below 5000. Wehre can I buy a single rim? do they make them anymore?

If you're referring to the true blue OEM Stock pressed STEEL wheels, you should be able to find them just about anywhere. If on the other hand you're referring to the "OEM" Mags (Slotted Mag) that many dealers put on the cars before they sold them, then E-Bay is a good place to start although there might be others here who have a spare.

Lastly, shouldn't it be the Body Shop's responsibility to find you a replacement? The car is in their custody after all.

Sounds like the body shop owner needs to have the choice: Small claims court or not...

Have you tried the Z yard off the I-805? If I'm right it on Energy Way. To get there take the I-805 exit to the water park in San Diego. Also try calling Mark (former owner of Datsun Alley) locate in Signal Hill (Long Beach area). Has a warehouse full of Z part from the Nissan project (310-614-6957). I still have the original spare with tire if you want to borrow.

Nice, very nice to have some hope, gonna check it out thx a lot, here the pic of the rim its in bad shape

Yeah I used to go to taht Z yard, but its out of business. thx for the spare, but I gonna used the rim from another 240z, but its a 71

Sorry to burst your bubble but those are not OEM wheels. The Z didn't have an optional factory aluminun wheel in the U.S. until 9/74 which was the beginning of the 75 model year 280Z.
