Anybody seen these bad boys on a classic S30 240Z, 260Z, or 280Z yet? http://www.racinglab.com/rota-aleica-002.html
I'm thinking about getting them for my 280. I haven't seen any pics of them on a Z yet, so don't know if they'll look alright.

Alright Pilgrim you might want to check correct backspacing & wheel lug spacing before you plunk your hard earned duckets on a set of rims that won't fit your Z.
They are meant for a Z...15x8 -5 offset, 15x9 -15 offset (4x114.3mm)

Replica of the old school "Cherry Blossom" (Sakura) wheels.

Neither the wheel the OP linked or any of the same model wheels listed on the linked website would fit a Z if he planned on buying. Offset & lug spacing wrong.

Yea, I just linked a picture of it. I wasn't gonna buy from that site. But after seeing those things on the Z in the pics on that link LeonV posted, I'm convinced. Of course, rims are the last things I need right now.

the fronts should fit with no issues, On the rears you might need to roll the fenders to prevent the tires from rubbing.

I got the rims, but I don't have tires yet. I took them to a whole bunch of places and they didn't know what size tires go on them. I currently have 15x7 equipped with 215/60 R15 on my 280. I'm looking for roughly the same diameter. Anyone know what size tires to get for 15x8 and 15x9?

Ever wonder what Sakuras look like on an S30 Fairlady Z? Well here it is! My girl bought these for my birthday. They're kinda wide. I have my Z in the body shop right now getting the ZG flares installed to fix that.
