Well?

VW R32. Think GTI with 250 HP 32v V6, 6 speed, huge brakes and all wheel drive. Tall greenhouse, should be fine for tall drivers.

Yes, 240Zs got heavier as time went on, but the bigger differences didn't show up until '73 with reinforced bumpers. A '72 isn't all that much heavier than a '70 or '71, I'd guess 50 lbs. or so. Curb weight was listed at 2355 for a '70. I wouldn't sweat the weight differences.

Yeah, but worse condition. They need a fair amount of help.

That's an option, but they will need some serious work, re-machining in some cases. The cost to make a set of the wire mags (I have a total of 8 of them) look as good as I want will be more than what I'd have to pay for the NOS wheels. So if I can get tires that I'm satisfied with on the NOS, that may still be the way to go.

I edited the title, since it occurred to me that 14x7 Konig Rewinds have much the same offset as the Appliance do. So comments from Rewind owners would be relevant as well. Thanks, Chris. I'm hoping I won't have to go that small on tires, I prefer to see more rubber under my car than that. But it's good info. If I take them off, I'll let you know. But two of them don't look nearly as nice in person as they do in pictures. They're fine from 10 feet, but up close -- not so much. Which is exactly my problem. I like the look, but the wheels themselves are not good enough for the rest of the car.

Any new input on this from anyone? I still haven't moved on this, but I'm leaning toward doing it.

Again, I don't understand this problem. As if these parts are mounted properly, they should not really move any significant amount with suspension movement.

Probably fine if you like that style.

Good point, Jon. I hadn't thought of that.
