Anyone know what make they are?

I scored a set of four at the junkyard today.
Came off a 280z. They are 14 x 6 and the back spacing is 4 1/4.

Just have no idea what brand they are.

I'm making carbon caps for them, and there are sumi's still available in 195/70/14 for $43 a piece.

Why go to a smaller wheel than stock????? BTW they look like Centerlines, Eagles, ARs, and a billion other manufacturers that make that style of wheels. You can still get them new for $60-80 a wheel.

[Dangerous Ken]

Yes, they are 1" narrower than stock.

I went smaller because they were less than $80 for all four, with tires that held air!

I have the oem 14 x 7 P wheels, and two of the tires are showing the steel belts, so I knew they wouldn't pass safety inspection.

Ultimately, I'd like to find 16 x 8 's that would fit, but these will do until I can put together a grand for new wheels and rubber.

I'm just amazed they are the right offset; love the big lips.

Those are Superiors. I used a set of those for winter wheels on my SDR 85. In fact I still have them.

You could still run 225/60's on those wheels. Would look a lot better on your p-type.

[Dangerous Ken]

Ok, I didn't know what tires fit a 14 x 6 rim.
Will a 225/60 really fit? i.e. is it a better choice for the 6" wide rim than 195/70 that's on them now?

Thanks James R for identifying them.

yeah, those were stock on lots of old z's. it was a dealer option if i recall. my friend has a set on his 240 currently but already got some 17's to replace them when the car is done.

Ken,
Nice find. I'm not sure if you noticed, I just did-- the ROH group buy sizes changed a bit due to mold problems, and might now fit L-types.

Yes, you can run a 225/60 on that 14x6 wheel.
