May 6, 200321 yr comment_36436 This is a picture of the Z Car shop owner's car here in Brisbane (Alan Stean). Looks like a picture from the Race to the Sky rally in New Zealand. The car is driven by Ross Dunkerton.I think they call these turbo wheels. Maybe you could email Alan at the Z Car workshop and ask him directly.biker Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/6027-anyone-id-this-rim-style/#findComment-36436 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 6, 200321 yr Author comment_36444 OK, i guess i am impaired, but the pic appeared this morning for me:stupid: So i have put it in my gallery, since i can't seem to make this happen here at work.George- those rims are known as "Turbine" style here, i have a set exactly like that on my silver 73:love: I believe that there were a few manufacturers that made similar wheels; Appliance, Western Wheels, etc.I got mine on Ebay a few years back-Thanks, Jeremiah Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/6027-anyone-id-this-rim-style/#findComment-36444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 6, 200321 yr comment_36446 240Z-Check the wheels in my galery......they look similar by looking at the photo. Mine are Western Wheel with I believe 13 spokes Appliance made a similar one called Vector that had a few more spokes than the ones I have. My gallery has a close up of the wheel.BIll Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/6027-anyone-id-this-rim-style/#findComment-36446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 7, 200321 yr comment_36545 Hi Axtell here, i think, is the wheel you want identifying.. love the yellow Z thing. Looks to be from a '80-'83 Plymouth Sapporo / Dodge Challenger. These wheels are known to fit the Z. Bill - thank you, for the name of the wheels... they look good Nice Z too..

May 7, 200321 yr comment_36548 Here you go Axtell, on a Plymouth Sapporo. They'd look much nicer on a Z, don't you agree Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/6027-anyone-id-this-rim-style/#findComment-36548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 7, 200321 yr Author comment_36580 Well, yes, they do look better on the Z- but we hoped they were some rare, valuable (sellable) piece. Of course on Ebay, you can always find someone glad to overpay! Thanks for the help!

May 7, 200321 yr comment_36581 oops sorry man.. you shouldnt have asked to ID them... I see the ebay title now "Very Rare Datsun Z Wheels" Starting bid $500 Don't worry at least now you can get the Ebay title correct and sell them to a Sapporo owner!
