spoke rims on Yutaka Katayama's 240z

hi guys

when i first purchased my 260z the guy who i purchased it off said the spoke rims were from a racing 240z and where very rare, now i thought to myself that would be rubbish but got the car anyway, the rims are made by a company called "WR grace and sons" and they did manufacture rims in the 70s but where only a limited number made, so i prodded them some more to get info on them but they unfortunatly had none as it was destroyed in a fire so i gave up and thought they must have just been a  aftermarket rim a company made, then i was watching this documentery on the z car history and spotted them. at 37 sec into the video, 40 sec into the video and 1min 40.

 

so it turns out there mr K's or the brother of them, heres a pic of my rims. i think there the same, they have the same amout of spokes same size rim and even the same badge

All very good, but more importantly do you have the original sales.receipt when the dealer fitted them???

nope if i did all you guys would be in luck as they are over 8" wide and easily fit 235r14 tyres on them

ive just never seen another set and they are realy wide and they have half inch studs that go through them, they are deffinatly for hard core racing use and they weigh next to nothing.
