konig or panasports

[-speed240z]

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?

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

Konig does make a 16" rewind. You can find it at Motorsport: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/WWC001H/25-1151

Panasports are also on sale there as well: http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PFW/25-1016

They 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.

And the Panasports look better :laugh: ... plus they're made in Japan...

Seriously, I like both but prefer the look of the Panasports. 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.

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.

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.

Art, when I click on your pic it says that image has errors and won't load. Would like to see a larger size image.

Thanks, G.D.
