Over the years, since the introduction
of the 240Z, many manufacturers have sold slot style wheels
(sometimes referred to as "Slots" or "Kidney Bean" wheels)
for 4 bolt wheel Datsun Z cars. Years
later, it has become obvious that each manufacturer changed the exact details
of their slot design just enough as to make it very confusing for a buyer trying
to find a single or extra matching wheels to complete a damaged or broken set.
Because
of this, ZPARTS.COM will be publishing detail photos and specifications of assorted
slot wheel designs as they are found, in the hopes that it will help both sellers
and buyers selling and shopping in the WHEELS
FOR SALE section, put together matching sets of slot wheels.
