Hi Guys, I'm looking for a nice set of wheels to suit my 240K Coupe. I'm not looking to spend a whole wad of cash, just looking to get it rolling again on a nicer set of wheels and new rubber (that doesn't go flat when left sitting). I don't particularly like the wheels on it, they are Z wheels I think. Does anyone have some suggestions on wheels that are easy to source? Thanks in advance :)

Your top pic shows C210 coupe rims polished (hard to find). Similar look/same stud pattern are the Mitsubishi Sigma GSR rims. Bottom pic is standard hubcaps (near impossible to find) over standard rims, as far as I know. I agree the 280zx Iron Cross rims you have on there now don't look quite right.

I actually quite like the look of standard rims once they have been cleaned up nicely.

O that frist one steveo pasted is what im going for, dam mirrors almost same price as rims tho.

Yer those sigma rims come up nice, Rota rims and some one was making copys there for a while too.

These guys also stock some stuff

I've got a good set of C210 stockers but not real keen to let them go as the wheels I've got now are loners from a mate.

When I finish my apprenticeship I might treat myself to a nice set of rims from the mother land.

AE86DC.com is the place to go for rims.

this was taken from the 240k sub forum on classic zcar.com

so anything less then that I suppose.

i was planning on trying to get a set of RS Watanabe's in F16x8(0), R16x8.5(-6) as according to watanabe, this is the max for the KPGC110

now, i figured that since i had the guards, that those would be fine, but now i realise that the KPGC110 had a different rear offset to the KPGC110, so will that through out my idea? the wheels have to be legal as it has to go through engineering

according to the site, the GC110 has F/R 14x6.5(+14.5) and the KPGC110 has F14x8(-6) R14x8.5(-13) out of the factory (well i assume that is what it is according to the table) http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/index2.htm

    • The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...
    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
