Alvin,
You've got some bad links in your line-up.
Also, Steve has the Wheel Info section on this site with pics and specs, maybe your info could fill in the blanks there.

Alvin,
Nice work. A couple of things, Vics JDM 4 spokes are a set of Hayashi Street II in a 14X6.5. Also Tim Miner's silver car has American Racing Silverstones, not Empis. Also some of your links don't work.

Thanks for undertaking this monster, the wheel page was in need of an up date.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Thanks all for the input folks this is definitely a work in-progress! I'm still trying to fix the links from albums that were moved.
Not sure where this would belong, but what I like about it is that it has pictures of the wheels actually on roadsters.

Keep correcting me/adding wheels to this list.

I'm with Linda. Hey, Steve, this info needs to be in the wheels tech info section rather than buried in the forums.

Yes, Pete and Linda, I have already started whacking the html version together so I can put the information where others may find it easily on the main web site. I will get it posted in the next several weeks. 8) I promise..

It's nice to see it in the thread, but also have it on the main site, so the info is more easily found later.
Lots of nice wheels to be sure.

I see that someone was able to use the 280zx wheels on a Roadster.
Having trouble locating the correct lug nuts cause of the thread (not metric).
Can't use those ones that came with it.
Can someone please provide me info where to get them.
Thanks

Pep boys, 7/16 20, shape to match the wheels, conical, short mag etc. They were really cheap, washers included, about $1.00 each. Forgot the brand, might be Gorilla.
summit is cheap too

Nissan did have some odd wheels that used large outside diameter lugnuts, so be sure the hole in the wheel is snug on the lugnut.

I was under the impression that the Z wheels all used the fat shank lugs. Am I wrong?
