Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Found these at a rummage sale. Any clues?

RX-7 maybe? Are they 13" or 14"?

Early 80's Toyota Corolla. They do fit on Roadsters, and look period correct.

New info: Unfortunately bolt pattern is 4.0 inch, so no joy. They'll fit on a VW I guess

Those wheels are American Racing Spectre series wheels, which were sold in the late 70s, early 80's and fit a variety of imported cars. My first 510 had a set of 14" versions of this wheel which I got off of a 280Z. These came in 13" and 14" versions.

Here is a good resource for vintage wheels that fit Datsuns:

Hope that helps,

my new celica has those on it,or very very similar. it is an 86 they have toyota stamped in the back by the hub. they are a 13"

Micheal is right. I bought those wheels new in Idaho for my Roadster in 1980. They are gone now, but looked great on the black '68.

Whoa, I just saw a set of these on a 510 in a junk yard today. They are 14"s.



The junk yard is Pick'n'Pull in Oakland: 8451 San Leandro St, Oakland, CA, near the coliseum.

The 510 doesn't have anything left but the body and frame. Body panels are dinged, but usable. I don't know what Pick'n'Pull will sell those rims for, but they're really nice.

There was also a Z with a lot of good parts:
glass, inside door panels, bumpers, rear lights, all body panels good except for front left fender.
This car will probably be gone soon. There are lots of Zs in Oakland.
Date of manufacture was 11/1970.

VW has 100 mm bolt pattern.
4.0 inch (101.6 mm) is in some Brittish cars, Sunbeam (Hillman) IMP, Vauxhal Viva etc.
Many Italian cars and Russian Lada (Vaz) has 98 mm bolt battern.

Are they the same as what the op found?
