New Mini-Lite Knock-offs

[jmark]

Are those $480/shipped for a whole set?

Yes. You can get wheel/tire combos as well at really nice prices. Guy seems to be legit on Ebay. Gotta decide if I want wheels/tires for less than the price of a set of Panas..... I have Panas on my '71 240Z and love them.

Oh god; I think I might have to order these...

I am looking for a single 14 x 6.5 Minilite to match the three I already have. They are the thicker ones that require longer wheel studs. Contact me at markbelrose@hotmail.com if you've got an extra one floating around in your garage.

Hey Mark,

I had a spare minilite from the 70's like you wanted. I emailed you about 2 years ago when I saw you wanted one on another site. Never heard back so maybe you did not see. I ended up selling to a fellow member here. If I see another I will try to let you know again.

I also will be selling the set that is on my car now. I want to go to a 15" wheel.

Hi Steve, sorry I don't remember seeing your earlier email. - most likely just being brain dead on my part. I do appreciate your offer. I never thought it would be that difficult locating only one wheel. I've seen a few sets for sale but am basically just trying to complete my set.

zcarfool you have PM.

Not bad, actually. Does anyone know if the Fast Forward center caps will fit over the 240Z front hubs? I've heard that the Konig caps don't.

The vendor told me they have issues the same as the Konigs.

I figured as much. That's OK, I think I need to stay with 14" (for the vintage tall sidewall look) on the red car anyway.

They look nice and have a very atractive price. $480, shipped. Just don't know about quality,etc.

Hey guys,

I will be getting back around to this in the spring. I am considering a set of the Fast Forwards or Rewinds to mount track tires. Has anyone used these with the wide Toyota 4X4 calipers (the vented rotor conversion). I have a set of Panasports on there now, which have the extra clearance needed for these wide calipers. I am wondering if the spokes on thes wheels bow out as far as the Panasports do. Anybody running that set-up?

TIA,

Marty

Well, it's spring and I decided to go with the 15x7 Rewinds. The arrived on Friday and I mounted one on Saturday. So, if anyone else was wondering, the center hub of the Rewinds do rub on the wide 4x4 calipers. I had to grind off the inner rib on the calipers and then they fit fine.
