Gorgeous!!

Hi @jonathanrussell, yeah I compared to Panasports, Rota, and Konig's. The VTO wheels are very nice option at a medium price point. No real complaints from the shop on mount/balance. From what I can tell, the wheels looked like they balanced up just fine with a minimal amount of weights.

Hi Jay, glad you found the site. Good luck with the sale of your roadster! Mike

Woot! My yellow 240z was recently featured in the VTO Wheels Customer Spotlight! I was wondering why Alex wanted me to take some photos of the car.. Anyone notice the cat posing for the photo? His name is Mr Banks and will sign autographs. ? Thanks @VTOwheels Mike PS: One correction, I am running Tokico Illumina adjustable struts (it says I am running stock struts). p{ margin:10px 0; padding:0; } table{ border-collapse:collapse; } h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{ display:block;

Mike came to VTO Wheels because he knew our fitment and customer service is the best in the industry. The VTO Classic 8 GTR 16"x7" wheels gives Mike's Z car a stylish finish, while the deeper lip gives a much more desirable and understated aggressive look. This yellow beauty is sitting on stock struts with Tokico springs that lower the car 1 inch. The VTO's are 0mm offset and wrapped in 205/55-16 BFG G-Force Sport 2 sticky rubber. No rubbing issues are reported, and the ride is said to be smooth and free of vibration. Thank you for your support, and please let VTO help you find the perfect fit for your next project, whatever the year, make, or model may be. Don't know what offset or bolt pattern to run? With us fitment doesn't have to be a guess! We will send you a wheel to test your fitment so you know that when you place an order, the fit will be perfect.

Check out what I just found in my files. This was the original order form that was sent to me from the Franklin Mint. I used one of these to order my model. I have two copies of this set and am willing to send it to the new owner of the Z purchased on BaT (if you don't already have a copy). Just send me a PM.

Ok sending you my address in PM. Thank you!! Mike

And took some more photos...

In that same box I found my original AM/FM radio.

Update, I found my original door and engine plates in a random box. I did start another post to discuss replacements below. Glad I found these before I purchased new ones. Here's the post I created about buying and creating new plates:

Absolutely, I have no idea why I put them in such a random location! It must have made sense at the time, I'm sure. @Patcon, sure I could use them. Do you advise rivets over screws? Not sure if screws would clear the door, though.

Well, I have some EXCELLENT news! While going through my files trying to find some other stuff, I ran into a box with my original 1971 radio and at the bottom of the box were these:

@bingo, this is actually a fluid distribution valve with a warning switch. It's a stock item, and is supposed to be there. The probe on the top is supposed to connect to a wire that leads to a light inside the cabin. When the fluid becomes out of balance, the switch will close the circuit and cause the light to turn on in the dash.

Looks like the new owner is a current member of our club... I'll wait for him to introduce himself.. ?

I have a feeling more people are going to keep their car stock, So they can resell them later at a higher price. As far as the 260z value is concerned, Just give it time

I've heard CV joints are a good upgrade. Good luck with the install, Guy. Do they have other colors besides orange?

Final sale price = $124,240 - amazing!

Kats, he's referring to a funny joke in the English language. It goes like this: Let's eat Grandma Let's eat, Grandma * Commas save lives

Don't think I've ever seen these. Are they JDM ? Wouldn't mind getting these and replacing the box I installed on my rig... I want to stay as stock as possible (with small classy updates)..

Finally got around to installing my new door skins and inner kick plates... aaaaaaand some more polishing. ?
