Original Rims/Hubcaps???

[240znut]

I have just come upon an almost new (other than 32 years old) set of 4-rims and hubcaps from an old Z. I believe they may actuall from my '70 240Z (The person I bought mine from found them in an old storage trailer)!!

If I remember correctly, the hubcaps for a 1970 Z have the "D" insignia in the center of them. Is this correct???

Also, the rims are in fantastic condition, and have this stamped on the outside part of the rim...TOPY 1-70 4 1/2, 1x14s 32t j

First of all, are these 240 rims???

Second of all, other than the "14" part, what does it all mean??

Please help.

The very early Z's had the D hubcaps. Not sure when they went to other styles.

As far as the wheel info, sorry, don't know.

GIVE THEM TO ME !!!!

The "D" hubcaps are definately for the70 and early 71 models. The steel wheels were originally 14' x 4 1/2'.

If he wants to sell them, I would be interested for a reasoanble price. I have a 70.

Let me know if he does want to sell them.

The TOPY 1-70 means that the wheels were manufactured in January of 1970. As you've already heard, they are 4 1/2" wide and 14" diameter.

I think the 4-1/2 is the Lug Nut spacing in inches.

Hi all,

A few years back (’97) I bought 4 hubcaps, I think they where remakes, but still originally Nissan.

Now I do not need them anymore because I turn my car into a rally version.

They are for sale for $160.

Remember I live in Holland

Somebody interested??

Mmmm yes I'm very interested! Although, I'm not sure how hub caps are fitted to a car? Sorry if that sounds like a terribly stupid question ... will I need to buy a new set of wheels to fit them on? What diameter are they?

[Z-point]

They fitted the original Datsun wheel numbered Topy 9-71 5Jx14S 3.2t k

This means it’s a 14 inch wheel

In the next picture you are able to see them at my car, long time ago

I have a set of used "D" 's. Does any one know where I could send them to be restored?

[Alfadog]

Mmmm I see.. so they wont fit on *normal* wheels (ie what I've got - see my gallery)
