It’s time to make it REALLY mine. This picture is from a race car in 1970, and I love the way it looks with fat tires, my wheels arches are already made for fat tires so now I just need some wheels, looking for 15x7 probably. Also, I love the number circle. What does Oppo want to see on the Datsun?

Minilites or Watanabes or some lookalikes. White letter 60-series tires. Chrome rollbar. Red with white number circles.

Kind of like this:

But with less wheel and more tire.

Roll bar and Hellas/Cibies.

Oh, and not directly applicable to the Datsun, but the first Opponaut that adds copper accents to their car, and lets them oxidize (à la Peugeot Onyx), will be my personal internet hero for at least a week.

Are you repainting it? National racing colors are always a good bet.

And number 69 obvs.

I could be wrong but to get that much tire under the car I think you'll be going with 14's. Adam Carolla has a few here’s one think the windshield delete is awesome but certainly not practical.

I don’t know what wheels but the number should be 42. After all , that Datsun is the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Lots of guys run 15x7s but you have to go with at least a +12 offset, but that’s for stock rear wheel arches, mine are tubbed and rolled. That car that you posted a pic of has VTO 15x7 wheels with +15 offset. That car is a monster too!

You’re right. I was thinking of doing it like that but with the white as bare metal, and leaving my hood red.

I’m a fan of the plain look, for some reason I can’t seem to find a set of alloys that I really like the look of on a Roadster.

It kinda already is Canadian race colours, haha. I really don’t plan on ever painting it. 69 will be the perfect number because it’ll be the same when Iflip it!

Alex, I have a pair of wheels similar to the above. They’ll fit. I’ll send a pict if you want. I’m not using them and you can have them.

I have four just like this. They’re yours if you want them. Not pitting, just needs some polish.

When they were on my Z.
