Very nice.. A ZX always looks good with a real wire wheel.. How about a redline stripe tire? Or even a white wall would look good with those wheels.. Just like a Jaguar E-Type.
A:
Real classy, especially with that color.

You want wire wheels? Get some Daytons ;) That'd look really funny
A:
Its funny, when I read your post title, I rolled my eyes and thought, oh god, that will look horrible! But after looking at the pic, I've got to say, they look very classy, good job!
'73 Turbo, not much stock. Sold now... :-(
A:
I luvs the way wires look...but I don't like keeping them clean.
Rusty but running.

And, now we are historic.

they look so good I almost forgot about the flats I used to get with my MG`S

Nice wheels, but IMHO 280ZXs look to moderen for wire wheels.

We have the true spokes on our silver 78. Look really good on there. Weigh a ton, bear to clean

Normally I don't like wire wheels, but they look nice.

Hey bmann, I actually got chills! Those were my wheels. I spent many hours on my front porch polishing them only to find they would not fit my Roadster. Oh man, they look great! I am happy to see someone benefit from my busted fingertips. Guess you don't need to email me that pic again. I found it here. Glad you like them. Paul

I've always liked the snowflakes that came on my 81 turbo but I like the wires better. Very nice.

A:
Thanks for all the comments, guys. I like the wheels, too. I have gotten a lot of nice comments from folks around here. I was a little leery about buying used wheels, but these turned out very nice. I got them from Progun at a great price! Jazzbug8, I like your's as well. I love the color of your Z. I see from your tag that you live in Georgia. I can't make out the county, either Washington or Madison. I live in McDuffie County.
