We don't know the full story on these rally/z432 style wheels, it could well be the seller got these made, rather than a generic buy, so could have had more control on the process/end product. As with most things made in China, its driven by a desire of the West for goods and that are cheap. Even when made elsewhere (e.g. a S30 group buy) the people expressing interest falls when they realize the actual cost. People want quality for peanuts, and that doesn't work. 4 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/57160-fairlady-432-at-auction/?page=4#findComment-565936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted January 14, 2019 Share #40 Posted January 14, 2019 The other possibility is these are not sub par wheels but made to a decent standard. Since some of the buyers may be running them on expensive classic cars. Hard to know, unless you know the source and their reputation.

Have you bought a set yourself? I was tempted, but I'm somewhat holding off for now.

Though I brought them in early December last year, well before Kats introduced us to them on this thread. I had nothing to go on, except I had seen the seller selling stuff for years and a good reputation. I got them yesterday. I haven't really had a chance to look at them yet (hence partly the delayed reply). From what I see on-line only, they are selling, more of the rally replica style than the Z432 replica style. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/57160-fairlady-432-at-auction/?page=4#findComment-566102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not explain well because I have not seen the car closely. http://bhauction.jp/pdf/catalog/005_1971_NISSAN_FAIRLADY_Z_432.pdf But seeing the other auction which sold a very clean , stock 280Z 2+2 over 40000 USD , I think people want a stock and clean car . If the Z432 were a kind of the one , it would be sold within a estimated price. Nowadays people who are potential- buyer know very well which is original and which is not . I think higher price deserves to a stock and clean car , just like the other classical cars . If this car had a stock coil springs , stock magnesium wheels, and sit it’s correct hight , would have looked much better. And the after market roll bars deduct buyers attention a lot . Other non original small parts , to obtain correct parts is tough but , you would be even enjoying to collect parts for a right shape Z432.
