@Mike - the wheels are Watanabe's.  Fronts are 15X7 I believe 1+offset.  Rears are 15x7.5 1+ offset.  I tried to get as close to ZERO offset as I could.  On my original order I requested Semi-Gloss but once I got them 3 months later it was just a little too much gloss for me.  I sent them to my local powder-coater and had them done if flat black.  The picture above is semi-gloss.  Due to the big brake calipers I do have to run a spacer in the front (it's about 1/2" give or take)  - they are 205x15's.  The rears have no spacers and they are 225/15.  Hope that helps  - let me know if you need exact detail on the spacers and tires sizes.  Be happy to supply if needed.  The below pictures are of the re-powder coat flat black - same color as the rear panel and rear shade.  Still have my old wheels just in case I want to change the look at any time.

 

What profile tyre have you got on the front?

Bought these wheels in 1980. They are still on my Z to this day. Haven't seen any others like them.

These wheels came with the car.  I have no idea what they are, no markings.  15" I believe.  I think they might be Mags?  They have a "liney" texture to them, if that makes sense.

I've since put "Z" sticker emblems on the center caps.  

I actually really like them, look great on the car.  

IMHO, Absolutely perfect. Stance, height, offset, finish, you nailed them all. Can you give us more info about the wheels, tires, springs and shocks?

Thanks!

Comopotive FH 15x7

Tire: 215 65 R15

1978 280Z stock suspension 

That's a pretty well executed convertible

Thanks. I bought the car as a convertible out of Texas and have been slowly up grading it over time; interior, seats, wheels, brakes...
