Posted August 9, 200222 yr comment_12451 I have just come upon an almost new (other than 32 years old) set of 4-rims and hubcaps from an old Z. I believe they may actuall from my '70 240Z (The person I bought mine from found them in an old storage trailer)!! If I remember correctly, the hubcaps for a 1970 Z have the "D" insignia in the center of them. Is this correct??? Also, the rims are in fantastic condition, and have this stamped on the outside part of the rim...TOPY 1-70 4 1/2, 1x14s 32t j First of all, are these 240 rims??? Second of all, other than the "14" part, what does it all mean?? Please help.

August 10, 200222 yr comment_12484 The "D" hubcaps are definately for the70 and early 71 models. The steel wheels were originally 14' x 4 1/2'.If he wants to sell them, I would be interested for a reasoanble price. I have a 70.Let me know if he does want to sell them.Marty Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2574-original-rimshubcaps/#findComment-12484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 12, 200222 yr comment_12648 The TOPY 1-70 means that the wheels were manufactured in January of 1970. As you've already heard, they are 4 1/2" wide and 14" diameter.

August 18, 200222 yr comment_13303 I think the 4-1/2 is the Lug Nut spacing in inches. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2574-original-rimshubcaps/#findComment-13303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 18, 200222 yr comment_13320 Hi all, A few years back (’97) I bought 4 hubcaps, I think they where remakes, but still originally Nissan. Now I do not need them anymore because I turn my car into a rally version. They are for sale for $160. Remember I live in Holland Somebody interested??

August 18, 200222 yr comment_13323 Mmmm yes I'm very interested! Although, I'm not sure how hub caps are fitted to a car? Sorry if that sounds like a terribly stupid question ... will I need to buy a new set of wheels to fit them on? What diameter are they?

August 18, 200222 yr comment_13325 They fitted the original Datsun wheel numbered Topy 9-71 5Jx14S 3.2t k This means it’s a 14 inch wheel In the next picture you are able to see them at my car, long time ago Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2574-original-rimshubcaps/#findComment-13325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
