Someone maybe able to get a steal for a set of Aussie export 260z wheels. If the price stays this low someone will be getting a great deal even if shipping was a couple hundred dollars in USD. They would not be my choice of wheel, but for anyone interested and don't mind doing a little work to make them pretty again, then this is your chance.

Good luck,

Aren't those the same as the 280Z factory alloys for the U.S. cars?

No, these wheels were put on european exports and the Australian cars.

I have seen these wheels on cars here in the U.S. plus here is a scan of an U.S. 1977 Datsun sales brochure showing a 280Z with the same rims. (Please excuse the fold in the brochure)

That's interesting because I have never seen those wheels on a US spec Z before. I thought that all of the 280z's came with steel wheels and hubcaps. Interesting find. I could be very wrong about this as I know very little about 280z's, so please do not get offended.

Take care,

Ben

I had a friend who had these wheels on a US Spec 1974 260Z (early model).

No offense taken, Ben. I just knew I had seen these rims on a few cars here (US). There was a lady at the Mossy Nissan show last year with a 78 like mine. It had those rims on it and she said they were original. Here's another picture of a US ad showing a 78 BPE with those rims.
