Panasport: Z light suitable for street?

[DaveR]

i haven't gotten great answers when I have talked to distributors. They call the z light a lightweight and in some cases race wheel. It has been confusing enough that I am not confident buying it as a street wheel without much more compelling testimony. They also seem to only mention the z light, and it seems strange that their only offering is a race only wheel. Which leads me to question the information

Unfortunately their website doesn't have model numbers, so I can't pull any useful information to clarify from it.

If someone knows definitively and I have missed that, please let me know. Just don't want to end up accidently with a set of race wheels when I may have to put in the order months ahead of time

We have a local wholesaler we buy Panasports from. Bad news is can't get you a answer until after the new year. Until happy holidays

@7tooZ  If you can reach out that would be most excellent.  Trying to get my options lined up so I can get any orders that need advanced notice in the works.

Appreciate the help.

Hey sorry for my delayed response. I just crawled out from under the holiday rock and a dreaded stomach flu. I will stop by the shop and call a wholesaler we use. Should get back to you by next week.

Bit of a long shot, but a set showed up on LA Craigslist a few days ago: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/pts/5949345315.html

Thanks, I will look into it. Although it would worry me a little buying them via CL, but that's definitely what I am after.

Hey all. I spoke to mas@panasport today. He said the Zlight wheels for datsun will be available in April in a 15x7.

Thank you for reaching out. Good to know about the availability.  

Did he have any statements about them being unsuitable for street use? Or any other information that might lead you to believe they were anything other than the newest general use model?

Thanks again
