Classicman Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Hi All I'm looking for an original set of steel wheels with hubcaps for my '74 restoration. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks in advance. Quote
Zedstar Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Z Hubcaps are readily available in the US. Factory steel wheels are extremely hard to find. I sourced a set locally after searching for about 6 months. If you are interested in the supplier of the hubcaps PM me. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 15, 2015 Administrators Posted June 15, 2015 I've seen a few on Yahoo! Auctions, only problem is shipping is expensive. http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h202821469 Other issue is that these are dated around 1970, if you have a 73 you may want them dated around that period? If you're really fastidious that is. Sadly I fall into that category... Quote
Classicman Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks guys. I'm probably going to go with a set of 14" or 15" alloys to enjoy the car with, but would like to have an original set of wheels and hubcaps to keep with the car. It seems there are two sets of hubcaps available and there are a few "D Hubcaps" on eBay. Which are correct for UK '73? Quote

It seems there are two sets of hubcaps available and there are a few "D Hubcaps" on eBay. Which are correct for UK '73? No, early S30z's had the D Hub caps (black paint) and these are quite rare now. The later ones had a Z in the middle and were a grey colour like the rear tail light garnish piece and the grille at the front. HS30 0004 is a good example of early car hubcaps. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php?topic=13650.0 Later style were on eBay recently. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,3484.msg169202.html#msg169202 Sold for AU $1,020.00 (in NOS condition).

Classicman Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks Gav240Z. So these are the correct ones for a '73/74? http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-240Z-HUB-CAP-COMPLETE-SET-IN-OUTSTANDING-SHAPE-/221797352107?hash=item33a42702ab&vxp=mtr Quote
Classicman Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 OK, so I have bought a set of hubcaps for the second car. I need some steel rims now, either a set of 4 or 4 guys with extra spare wheels to sell :-) Anyone? Quote
GongZ Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Hello Classicman, These wheels are currently for sale on eBay UK for a 'buy it now' price of £85.00 (~AU$160). It might be worth contacting the seller to see how much shipping would cost. DATSUN 240Z Steel Wheels (Original NISSAN) set of 4 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DATSUN-240Z-Steel-Wheels-Original-NISSAN-set-of-4-/182055519860?hash=item2a635ac674:g:IxMAAOSwmmxW6A1c EDIT - they have now been sold Edited March 19, 2016 by GongZ gav240z 1 Quote
