240z steel wheels

I'm on the lookout for some steel wheels. I'd like to find something in 15" that I can get banded. I've got a couple of 14" zed wheels that I'm thinking of using but I need at least one more.

Any suggestions on a newer car steel wheel that will fit?

Good idea John, it will be interesting to see the result.

A couple plus one = 3 in 'my book'.

What width are your couple of steels?

Looks like TR6 wheels may do for you John?

I brought some Nissan Almera steels off eBay for my last Z for banding at £39.99 ,

Same PCD but the bore is smaller but i was running spacers so this was fine, dont think there is a 4 x 114 PCD with a 76 bore out there,

Banding was very common in 60/70's before alloy wheels came along.

Rob - I have 3 but would like to keep one as a spare for the silver car. So one will help at a push but could do with 2 if I go for 14" banded wheels.

I had thought about the almera wheels but not sure what the back spacing is. Didn't know about the centre size so thanks for that info.

The current wheels seem to suit the car, especially in red, so I'd like to continue that theme. They are a bit small though in width and diameter. I have some spacers I could fit to improve the look a bit.

Very popular on the VW scene, quite like the look if done properly
