Did you buy that car in Tn ?

Enkei or copies. More '80's than '70's but ok... Tough part is the sparse tire selection for 14" wheels...

I believe those are actually Appliance wire mesh mags. I have the exact same ones on my car. I purchased them new shortly after I bought the car in 74.

If you are really going to ditch them I'd be interested in taking them off your hands.

I had them on my 72 - in 72. Ran a set of slicks for Auto-crossing on them. Yes they are Appliance wire mesh mags. I've always like them as well. They were fairly high quality for the price back then.

FWIW,

Carl and Mike are correct. I can't tell from the angle in that picture if they are 14x6 or 14x7. Definitely period-correct, especially if the center caps are still original (with a stamped "A" logo). I had them on my '71 as well. Very popular on Zs, Celicas and the like back in the '70s.

Hey pantherf9f,

yes, after searching for a full year, i finally found something worth the trip down south, that was in my budget.

I really wanted to find a car i could afford to improve and repair ay faults, while still being able to drive it.

how do you know this car??

Arne, how is the porche? i saw your previous 240 for sale, wish it was in my price range at the time.
