Datsun 240Z wheels?

[DanRaitz]

I picked up this model kit last week. 

But it doesn't have the wheels that I need to replicate my 1973 240Z.  What I need are the 14" Ansen slotted dish mags. see attached photo:

My question is, does anyone know where I can source the proper wheels?

Thanks, Dan

The 4 lug nuts might be a limiting factor. The optional wheels in the Studebaker Avanti and the Torino "Red Tomato" kits come to mind but they are 5 lug. The lug nuts could be cut off and glue on something to represent the 4 lug setup.

The MPC '79 Pinto Cruising Wagon has a set of wheels with four-lug detail and five slots.

How about the wheels from this Monogram 280Z?

Might be worth trying to find some slightly taller tyres for a period look. I used them as they were on this Roadster:

Edit: I think there was a Lotus Esprit kit that also had 4-stud slotmags.

If you really hit a roadblock, I recently designed and 3d printed these for a project I'm doing. I plan on airbrushing them with Molotow when the humidity lets up here.  I tried Testor's aluminum Metallizer but apparently it won't stick to the 3d resin, and it looks like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH when painted over primer.

These are 5-lug, but are easily converted to any bolt pattern.  I had to play around with diameter and backspacing a bit too to get them right. 

It might not be as cheap or easy as finding them from a kit, but it's an option.

Probably not as easy or cheap as finding some from a kit, but it's an option if you need them.

IIRC, there was a Revell Datsun Z that has that exact wheel. I can check and get back with you.

Just checked and it actually has the six slot wheels.
