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

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
