After a complete suspension replacement this fall the only thing left to replace was the wheels/tires.

I have a 74 260 with the slotted aluminum wheels that are 14. I really like the classic look of these wheels, but want a 16 rim. I can't seem to find them anywhere, called a bunch of rim manufacturers but no dice. Anybody?

If not i'll be forced to put on some tacky 5 spoke rims!! Although on some Z's they look nice, just not mine.

Go to your local tire shop. If you have a Discount Tires store in your area definitely try them. I got a set of 16x7 Centerlines with '0' offset from them. I love the wheels. Put a set of Dunlop 225/50HR16's on them which fills the wheelwells on my '77 280Z to the max.
Looks great and was fairly reasonable at about $1,300 for wheels and tires.
