February 21, 200322 yr comment_27365 I didn't pay for them!LOLROFL heck i love that 240z you posted!! When i get panasports, a paint job, and ZG flares like that i'll probably put the slotted mags on my 280z. By the way were those MSA ZG flares i can't get over that blue Z.

February 21, 200322 yr Author comment_27419 This email is for the following individuals and any of the other people that have been involved in helping me make a decision on what I should do about the wheels and tires. You see I'm obsessive and obsessive people can't make there mind up. So I need you folks to push me along Fstr240 Zmefly 2manyZs This is what I'm asking you but first allow me to tell you that it seems as if alot of you think very highly of the panasports. I would consider them if I didn't change the tires because they are new pretty inexpensive and come in a 14x6 with 0 offset. Although I must tell you that slotted wheels I think look better on Z cars. The problem with that is that the slotted mags are not readily available and I would have to go to a bigger tire and then buy wheels from one of you guys and get the caps. You may have wheels in 14x6 in slotted but you know how it is the car is cherry should I start with the polishing and all of that tedious effort and they still won't be perfect. I want a wheel that I can hit the curb with first and screw it up. The panasports don't come in polished aluminum there painted. I don't know I think the polished look is better and chrome is to much contrast. Anyway if you gentleman were in my position and you had a car like mine that really is quite nice and silver. Would you go for larger tires and then have a better selection of slotted wheels. Or would you attemp to keep the car somewhat original leave the same tires on get the panasports. Will there be such a distinct difference in the way the car holds the road and looks with bigger tires. Those are my issues and I'm insane. please respond Burt:stupid: :sick: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4774-wheels/?&page=2#findComment-27419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 21, 200322 yr comment_27434 I have always liked the look of wider tires and I am biased towards them. However that is probably the method I'll use on the 240z But on my 280z which i plan to keep looking the way it is..(at least when it comes to tire size)(not the stock p185s either, the P215's siut me as a wide tire fanatic) I probably am going to put my either my slotted mags on there or look for some other mags. I know what they look like but I don't know what they are called. Anyway for the stock wheel well look I definitely prefer a lots of vintage mags over the panasports. I'm after rereading my message i don't think i've helped much OH NO! what am I gonna do when I am looking for wheels for my 280 :surprised Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4774-wheels/?&page=2#findComment-27434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 21, 200322 yr Author comment_27460 fstr240zGot your posts and thanks. See I agree with you I think the slotted wheels are nicer on a silver car then the panasports. But I would have to get a wider tire. What do you think of Yokohoma 205 60 15Burt Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4774-wheels/?&page=2#findComment-27460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 21, 200322 yr comment_27462 and concidering you have a silver car i think these enkies i had shown you before would look really nice.http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-24.htmlthey also just now it seems have a set of 14x7 polished slotted wheels, the ar kidney style with Z center caps for sale now, they look really good in the pic too.heres the link, if your wanting to keep a set of slots on your car then i would say these are quite nice. http://www.zparts.com/ads/wheels/pages/wfs-29.htmlEric is also willing to haggle a little on the price too, so you may get them a bit cheaper.good luck james Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/4774-wheels/?&page=2#findComment-27462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 22, 200322 yr comment_27503 I think you'll like them 205/60R14 cause they will look close to stock, and i think that is what u want. My 215/60R14 look pretty wide from behind the car, i don't know if you will like that. My 280z has 215/60 R14 and they don't look as wide as on my 240z, they kinda look stock.
