Let's see some wheels!

Unknown make and size, but they are currently on a potential new member that I met this afternoon.

My Z had those wheels on it when I found the car.Mine had been painted black at one time to hide the rust spots.

Of course the paint mostly peeled off, really a bad look.

Here are the original wheels I got with my car in 1976. They are Appliance wheels with new Eagle Alloy centers and new nuts I purchased from a place in OK. by the name of Massey Motors.

Here are the wheels I put on my roadster, not sure what they are called. I pulled them off a Z in the junk yard. I was thinking of putting them on my 71 240z.

Be very careful with those 'cross' wheels. I had a set on my Z, loved them, got them pretty inexpensively. I had them for about a year when while having a flat fixed, the tire shop discovered that one had cracked completely through the center of the face, running diagonally through two opposing lug holes. I had to switch back to my slot mags.

Don't over-torque them!

I really like the design, wish I could find a set in 15 x 7, but I doubt they were ever made.

Any tips on cleaning up a set of those wheels? I have a set that is pretty oxidized in the center:

then how do you keep the center section free of brake dust?

I like these wheels alot....

[mgood]

Thanks Fun_in_ma_z, I think they look good too.

ta240, I don't drive my car that much but cleaning them I just wash them with car soap and spray clean, the little holes are painted black so they don't show that much dust. As for polishing them, I used one of those Mothers polish balls with mothers aluminum cleaner. You have to do that only once to get all the heavy oxidation off and then just buff clean with the polish about once a month. Here in Pittsburgh we have a higher level of sulfer in the air than most places and aluminum oxidizes with sulfer.

Higher quality brake pads also help minimize the amount of brake dust.

Some people don't like them, but I went with 15" wheels from an 81' ZX Turbo.

Take a look.

My restored SSR Reverse Mesh wheels. They are 15's that came off my 71Z. The centers have been recently powdercoated in metalic silver 2 stage. The rims are freshly polished to a high shine. I also used new Stainless Steel hardware. They can be taken from me for the right offer.

^ nice I was looking at a set of Formula Mesh's 15x11 -27's but decided against trying to find tires and spending 2k for wheels.

My set will not set you back $2K that is for sure. This set is 15X8, I will have to check the offset but when they were on the car they fit perfectly in the wells, without over fenders.
