I put my old rims up for sale: Use following link to view listing details page: 1978 280Z Rims, Wheels & Tires, $ 110.00, 280z

Just got those Rewinds put on my car today...

Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing. Please tell me what that means.

I went to Discount Tire today and ordered those Rewinds. They had to order them but I should be able to get those installed next week. My car is gonna look sweet. After I get that done, I’ll look to sell my old rims. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. Allow me to ask my mechanic on Monday exactly what my wheel setup is. I certainly don't want to order the wrong thing. Virto, I'll keep you updated. Do my current rims have a specific name or brand that you know of? It's pretty common to order these and have them shipped, right? I mean, the odds of finding them locally (in a small city) I would imagine are pretty slim?

Hello, I’m doing some research in order to get some new rims. • My current setup is: 4 lug, 15” X 8” • My current tires: 195/70R 14 What brand or company might you recommend the most? Can anyone tell me what kind of rims are on this car here (I like this style): Here’s a pic of my car right now… After I get the new rims on there do you think I can get any money for these old ones? Maybe 25 bucks each or is that too low? Big Thanks, Bart

Thanks. I do appreciate it.

Hey folks... These cracks weren't there when I bought the car ((I'm pretty sure I'd remember seeing them if they were). Anyways, they're there now. Whats my best option for getting these fixed? Thanks

I think you were very wise and a bit lucky to get that deal, It's awesome. I'm curious, cuz I'll someday want to get a new engine put in my 280Z, how much putting an engine like that in my car would cost?

Thanks everyone. I won't touch the roof, then. I think it's the second. I can't remember, the owner filled my head with so much info, but yeah, I believe its the second. I don't know the exact name of this paint. Is there a way to find out?

Thanks for the advice. I bought a rust free 1978 280Z from a really nice guy in San Diego, CA. Trust me, I looked the body over and it is "rust free". I drove it from San Diego to Santa Fe and I had no problems the whole way. So I'm quite happy with my purchase. No complaints. I have the official title and I'm free and clear. I paid just under $4,000 Technically the engine has 214,000 miles on it. Its a 3 speed automatic. There's not a whole lot that needs to be done to it. I wouldn't mind having a sun roof and I need to get a cup holder. Plus a new stereo system at some point.

Hi. I'm Bart. I'm eager to buy a Z car. I'll be doing some research over the summer and hopefully I'll be buying one soon because they're so freek'n sexy and I gotta have one. I've never owned one before and even though I like the idea of a 'fixer upper' I think i'm too much of a novice to be able to do it successfully, at least at this point in my life. Maybe in 10 -15 years I can have more experience and do the fixer upper route. Bart
