See the pic with two what are supposed to be Nissan wheels... anyone know what these are or what they are from? I like these and have never seen them before. Unfortunately he only has two. I have called him but am waiting for a response. Any info appreciated!

I think those are Cosmic wheels.

Very popular with the MGB crowd

They have the same dimention stamping as the datsun factory wheels and the same paint color . I remember a set like that on 200sx and they look to be 13 in. there used to be 4-5 different alloy wheel designs, I have a set of 13" off my 80 510 still I will post photos .

I hope they are not 13s, would need at least 14s, better if 15. Thanks for all the efforts!

Yep you guys are on it! Cosmic wheels. Kinda hard to find much info so far, but they were often 12, 13, less common 14s. English I gather? Some I like, others I don't. May have a hard time finding a matching pair. Too bad.

Thanks!

They are a little hard to find, but not that bad. They show up on eBay a lot. You just have to check MGB and Triumph listings.

I just sold 6 of those (the middle picture). It took forever to find the right buyer. Where were you three weeks ago?

My suspicion is those Cosmics are 13".

DatsunDave, I don't recall you posting them for sale here.

I don't know about Cosmic wheels, but the ones for sale have a cut-out and the 13" don't.

IMHO, those are not the same wheel.....

I've seen different versions, some with different off sets, and some with holes in the background. I talked to the guy today, and he was very nice. He said he thought they were 13s, and that he used to have a full set, but two were stollen before he moved. He said he would call me if they were 14s, but apparently they are not. The offset looked like it might work though. I think they would look cool with the black redone, but with some (4) spokes painted or accented in gold for my black car.

If a set of 14s or bigger ever pop up, please let me know!

Yes, the wheel posted by redroadster and what is in the ad are different.

Man, I really really like that wheel. There are not a lot of wheels that make me go mmmm, but for some reason this one does. I just feel like it would look perfect on my car.

Please put the feelers out.

Thanks greg672000 yes these were Datsun factory wheels wish they were 14 or 15" and they would have end up on the Roadster . they sure looked good on my 1980 metalic copper 510 2 dr .
