slotted mag question

[don356]

i have a set of somewhat tired 14 inch us indy slotted mags on my car. i think 14//7 on rear and 14/6 on front possbily. does anyone know if there is a new wheel of similar style available? car is a 73 240z.

Yes, American Racing is currently making a similar style. It is available in 15x7 and 17x7. Any American Racing dealer should be able to get them for you.

that's what i was afraid of. my car has 5 almost new 14 inch tires which i wanted to use so the 15's wouldn't work. i think i will have to cobble together the best old set i can. thanks

Don, what size tires are you running? I may know of a set that might meet your needs.

I have a set of Shelby slotted mags in good condition that will be available in about 8 weeks when I get my car back from the body shop. (see pic).

I have a set of NEW 14" MiniLite's - I'll most likely not use them.. $250.00 each plus shipping, includes lugs and center caps.

I'll join in on this "fork in the road" :laugh: I've got this set of Enki 14x6.5 (minilight copies) for $350. No caps or lugs.

The wheels sold by MSA are the American Racing wheels I first mentioned. 15" & 17" only.

Sorry, 'pup, those aren't Enkeis. Enkei's version of the Minilight style was shaped more like a Panasport, always painted either gold or silver, and had hardened inserts in the lug holes to use normal tapered seat lug nuts. Only came in even widths, too - 14x6 and 14x7. Yours look more like Westerns to me. Which makes them even more 'period-correct' than true Enkeis would be.

As for the wheels I have in mind, I know of a place who claims to have a full set of 4 NOS Appliance slots in 14x7. No caps, but still NOS, never mounted. I'd already have them myself if it wasn't for the fact that I'm a bit leery of the 7" width on the front. But with a different air dam and lower profile tires they should be OK.

Thanks Arne, they belong to a friend that moved to Oregon and left them with me to sell for him. Said they were Enkei's and I just took his word for it. (The only markings I could find were wheel size & max weight load...no mfg. name)
