Hi ! I have a question regarding a set of wheels I just purchased for my 1969 Datsun Roadster. Has anyone ever heard of them and if so what automobile did they originally come out on ? I'm in need of at least one more so if anyone knows of where I can find one or any information regarding these rims it would be much appreciated ! THANKS YOU VERY MUCH DON !!!!

Don.... I have an extra 5 spoke aluminum wheel but I am not sure who makes it? There aren't any identifying marks to speak of and the center cap is gone. I have 6 of these that I had sent out to be polished and they look really nice. I believe these came off of the early 240 and 260 Z cars. Anyway, I only need the 4 on the car and one for the spare so you are welcome to the one I have left over. Just pay for shipping and it's yours for free. (Oh yeh, and promise me I won't see it for sale on ebay next week!...Ha!)

Another Question About These Wheels ?

Post by PROUD ROADSTER OWNER »

Hi ! Jon was very gracius to offer the free wheel but the appearance of the wheel was too different from mine to be of any use to me. I do have another question though ? Will the wheels I have purchased fit our Roadsters without major fender well work ? The tire size could be a factor so if anyone has a success story on getting these wheels to work without major modifications Please LMK ! THANKS TO ALL !! DON

Those wheel will not fit

Post by fj20spl311 »

Don.
Those wheels have too much off set to fit.
Using the sellers measurements: 2.875-4*25.4= -28.5 mm offset

Roadsters take +10 to +15 mm offset wheel in 5.5 to 6 inch wheels.

Those wheels will stick out about 1 inch.

they will not fit a 510 or Z either. They take "0" offset wheels usually.

Maybe they were on a ford falcon or corvair.
