Posted March 30, 200916 yr comment_279201 I'm wondering if these rims are worth the 100 he is asking or if they have no business on a 240z. http://charleston.craigslist.org/pts/1098215558.html Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31350-rims/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 30, 200916 yr comment_279202 Standard wheels for a 280zx (1979-83). The $100 price is very good as long as they can resurrected.Not bad on a 240Z, but in my opinion you can do better (they look a little out of place).

March 30, 200916 yr comment_279205 Those are the only ZX rims that I really like even a little. They'll fit and work fine on a 240Z, although as bigoak notes, they are not period correct.But note that they take special lug nuts, that only fit factory Nissan mag wheels. Those lug nuts can be expensive if the seller doesn't have them. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31350-rims/#findComment-279205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 30, 200916 yr comment_279207 Those lugnuts can be found at O'reilly's for a buck apiece. Those whhels commonly sell on Ebay for 20-25. That these are gold indicates they came off a black ZX 81-83. Dealer's choice; they do look better than hubcaps.

March 30, 200916 yr Author comment_279272 they are a little scratched up you think i can polish out the scratches and if so what do i use do you think they would look better than the mags.

March 30, 200916 yr comment_279279 Your's are commonly referred to as slotted mags. These were aftermarket by a few different suppliers. I much prefer them to the ZX rims.As long as there are only scratches and not massive curb rash, you should be able to polish them nicely. Ideally, take them to a shop that polishes wheels for a living, you will be amazed at what they can do.Also, keep an eye on the web. You never know what you'll find. I got vintage Japanese racing wheels with new rubber for $400...the deals are out there...Cheers, Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31350-rims/#findComment-279279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 30, 200916 yr Author comment_279280 I'm not going to lie i hit one of the rims with a sander just a little do you think they can buff that out there are no gashes but there are scratches.

March 31, 200916 yr comment_279284 Take it to them and they will tell you if they can fix it. These very commonly show up on the board or on craigslist. If need be you can find a replacement to match. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31350-rims/#findComment-279284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
