August 5, 200519 yr comment_133132 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.Enrique Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/16797-where-can-i-but-oem-rims-ofr-a-70-240z/#findComment-133132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

August 6, 200519 yr comment_133197 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.

August 7, 200519 yr comment_133250 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.
