81datsun Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hey yah the say western wheels but i cudnt really find anything on them. are these good wheels to keep? i dont really know much about them. so they are not stock than right? Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Not stock but pretty cool. Probably fairly light too. Mine are similar but with only 8 spokes and no manufacturer markings. What size? Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 They are 14x5.5. Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 no there not nice to keep you should just give them to me lol Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Haha i take it their good rims to keep than.i actually picked all 4 up for 20 bucks so not to bad. Quote Link to comment
Jason Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Those look like my Western 10 spoke 14x5.5" mags with 0 offset. I can't remember the name of them off the top of my head, but, they do work OK. To clear a stock 510 sedan in the rear, you're gonna need a bit of camber or roll the lips with 185/60/14's on them. I mounted 175/65/14's and it's all good. Check my avatar same wheels I think ... Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 yep they are the same, but i am in the process of stripping them and painting them. i was wondering just out of curiousity how much would a set of these run? Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 yep they are the same, but i am in the process of stripping them and painting them. i was wondering just out of curiousity how much would a set of these run? 20$? I seriously wont pay over 100$ for them. 4 lug wheels are way to common. Something will come along for the right price. If they were six lug in the other hand... I would kill some one for them.

HRH Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Those are nice wheels, and quite desirable for a 510 owner. Aside from that, no one wants them. Still, keep them around. I have two set of my Western turbine style wheels and I don't plan on getting rid of them anytime soon. They look nice, they're light, what's not to love? Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey i recently got my rims stripped and painted and i was wondering were cud i find the center caps that came with these wheels? Quote Link to comment
greybeard Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I had a set of wheels like that back in the day, mine where Shelby wheels and the gold was a little lighter. they a knock-off of the Minilite wheels of the 60's and early 70's I've always liked the look if them. I had 13x6 on my B-210, fit with no problems, I used tires from 185 70-13 to as large as 205 50-13 Keep them, they're very cool for any Datsun as a period wheel. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Mine only had 2 and seemed too big in proportion to the wheel. I looked around for two years and never could find any more. I made replacements out of PVC end caps and auto body epoxy and painted them to match my car. Since they are cast wheels with gunmetal gray centers, they would probably look ok on any color car. I can't find any close pics of the caps. This is the best I have. The originals were about twice as big and were chromed plastic. Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I just got one rim finished and painted tell me what you think? Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I just got one rim finished and painted tell me what you think? I think they're too nice for that car. Give 'em here. Quote Link to comment
81datsun Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Haha thanx but i am keeping them for now. they wont go on the car till body works done so.. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 They look like what I had on my 76 Capri back in the days - I say Mini lites. Quote Link to comment
shifty Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Those are Western minilite-style wheels. I have a set of the same wheels, same size - 14x5.5. I'd really like to find one more wheel for my spare! My set came with 3 Western wheel caps - I;ve been looking on Ebay but haven't found one that is the right size. Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 20$? I seriously wont pay over 100$ for them. 4 lug wheels are way to common. Something will come along for the right price. If they were six lug in the other hand... I would kill some one for them. You mean like these? Quote Link to comment
