Have you guys come across these? Probably typical CL BS!

I've seen a few sets of those for sale here and there and, from my understanding, are a bit rare in the fact that they were only an option on the '78 280Z Black Pearl Edition. I saw one set pretty cheap ($100 I think - probably should have picked them up) and other sets in the $250-$350 range. I like them.

67-1600 is right, they were used on the black pearl Z's, but were also available as an accessory wheel from the dealer. They are not a forged wheel though, just cast. If those rims have all the centers, that is a great deal as while the rims are kinda hard to find, the correct centers in good shape can sometimes fetch the asking price themselves!

Does anyone know whether the black pearl wheels would fit on our cars?
The seller of the set I found thinks they are 14x7. That seems kinda big, but the wheel tech section says that Z wheels are close to 100% fitment on the Roadsters.
Help?!
