Posted August 17, 200717 yr comment_218821 I'm looking for konig or panasports for my zg flared 240, 15x8.5 front & 15x9.5 in the rear or 16's even better on a set of 50 series tires would look killer, does anyone know a good place to start?

August 17, 200717 yr comment_218826 Konig doesn't make those sizes. Not sure about Panasports, but you can call Les at Classic Datsun Motorsport to find out.

August 17, 200717 yr comment_218829 Konig does make a 16" rewind. You can find it at Motorsport: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/WWC001H/25-1151Panasports are also on sale there as well: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PFW/25-1016They are only 7" wide though... Not sure if you wanted to stick to the 8" + wheels or not...I've been doing some research on this topic and Panasports are at least double the cost of Konig's. Konig's are good for standard drivers, but, Panasports are stronger and will hold up to hard cornering and racing conditions.-- Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25248-konig-or-panasports/#findComment-218829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked at Rota's? They make a wheel that looks much closer to the Panas. I think the Konigs look more like the Watanabes.Nate Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25248-konig-or-panasports/#findComment-218834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 17, 200717 yr comment_218837 Seriously, I like both but prefer the look of the Panasports.I guess that's why there are multiple choices. Because while I too like both, I prefer the Konigs. It's all personal.One possible thought, the Konig center caps do have issues on 240Zs. But that's not normally a problem for the ZG look, as most people don't run the caps in that case.

August 17, 200717 yr comment_218840 Arne,there really isn't much of an issue with the centercaps. All I had to do was tap the hub centercap in a little. I've also been told that Nissan made two different size caps; one shorter and one taller. Who needs a taller cap anyways since all it does is collect more dust and dirt. The shorter one needs no tapping to make the caps fit. Here is my wheels with the cap in place. I also prefer the Konigs mainly because of price and the fact that I'm not building a full blown racecar that would need really wide tires.
