Looking for a wheel...
Okay. After looking at many different wheels for my FB, I decided that I wanted to keep the wheels in the correct time period with my FB. And I wanted to do something that I hardly see as well. I seen these wheels while looking at older JDM cars. I don't know the name of these wheels but i know Rota makes knock offs of them (Zero Plus)
I would get the Rotas (please no flame war about knock offs...) but they're only available in 4x100 right now and i need 4x114.3.
Another wheel i like is this knock off by axis wheels (OG Racer-X)
But they only come in 4x100...
I was wondering if anybody knows what are the name of the originals or if some one makes a similar wheel in 4x114.3 in a low offset. I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try.

Check out drag wheels also.
I'm helping with this cause I can respect that you have both a budget and style that need to be period correct. hehe. wink wink....

Equip 03 Replica. Shows your PCD also. Not sure which offset you want. If FB I think it's like 7" +35 to +40. But they have the +0 to +10 offset also which has lip.
Drag DR-20: you could potentially run staggered offsets to fill out the rears. +40 front +10 rear. Not sure how that would fit but it would have a bigger lip in the back and give that "authentic" feel.
high offset:
Low offset
I ACCEPT DONATIONS............. lol.

My friend has some gold RBs with rediculous amount of lip on his 280z with zg flairs
I've seen the work equip knock offs. My local auto place has some 16x8 (10 offset) Rota Sa racing/flashbacks in hyper silver. I'm leaning on those but I'm really hoping to find some deep dish four spoke wheels. But these will be my second choice if i can't find them.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I want to add zg flairs to my FB as well. So i want to run a wider wheel and an aggressive offset. Right now i have some 240z wheels that are 14x6 with a -10 offset. The fronts slightly rubs the fender but a simple roll will remedy it. here's a pic.
