My Datsun 240Z

Guys... Does anyone know where to get vintage mag wheel replicas? I bought fenton mags from somebody years ago they where warped, i brought them to a wheel shop to get straightened. I recently put new tires but sadly they are still warped from the heart out, i saw it on the balancer. There was always a little vibration in the steering wheel and car and its now time to deal this.. i don't drive long distances but its time to get new wheels and deal with this. 

 

For my mustang i bought American racing wheels, and they have that vintage look... I want to keep the same for the Datsun.

 

Any advice on wheels 14 inch? I would prefer 14 so i can keep the new tires and the vintage look

Bart, what about some nice 260z alu wheels for your 240z? I think they look very nice on the 240z. As you want it original.. some steel wheels with orig. covers would be the best but second are those nice alu 260z wheels.. you know who will have a set.. 😉

I dont like those Mart. I will ask around. I can find some vintage 14 inch wheels on the internet used. But big chance these are warped to.

My wheels are Fenton Gyros... I googled and found not so nice things about them 🤐

I really love these, but so hard to find. He lives in NL but only has 2.

There are also replica z432 but I believe these are not approved for safety DOT

On the link, that left rim in pic1 has a dent on 3 o'clock and the right one is/seems unround at 7..

And also, find 2 others..

The 1972 FSM says the ET is 15mm for the 5 inch wide wheels.

I did not find documentation of what the earlier 4 1/2 inch wheels had for ET (offset), but I took some quick crude measurements comparing the 4 1/2 inch to the 5 inch wheels and it appears they added 1/4 inch to each side. If that is the case, then the ET would be the same for the 4 1/2 inch wheels.
