Hi I got a 1985 300 zx turbo with 16 inch 5 lug alum. spoke wheels with no center caps. So I have no idel what to find center caps. I found center caps on e bay but they don't show what they come off of.So I thought maybe someone on here might have 16 in. spoke wheels and could send me a picture of there's. Thank You Danny please

how many spokes? none of the factory wheels for the Z32 were spoked, the 84-85 turbo uses a sort of funny pentagonal wheel, with small centercaps with the Z logo but I believe those were only 15's, the 84ae, and 86-89 use a vaned style often cunfused with the C4 corvette wheel, I ofter refer to them as Ronal look alikes, those use a larger d!ck like centercap also with the Z logo

an chance you can post a pic of your wheel and we can verify if they are a stock style or not

Not like any of these . Theses are true spoke wheels like maybe 30 spokes. I'll try and get a picture of them. Danny

Then they're aftermarket. You'll have to find out the brand of wheel.

yuppers, those are aftermarket, the good news is most aftermarket wheels use one fo a few sizes of centercaps you you might check with your loca wheel shop, chances are they can order a cap to fit

and I think you need some more bikes

Most of them bikes are not mine (my Son's) maybe I can find some spinner center caps. I tried to start it today (No go ) pulled the fuel line loose not pumping fuel. Was when I parked it 1 1/2 years ago. Now I have to figure out where the fuel relay is at . Wonder if there is a fuel shutoff some where. Danny

Pretty common style of wheel. Some Jaguars came with them stock, I also see a lot of these on C1 and C2 Corvettes. The Corvettes connection means that a lot of replicas are probably made, so it could be one of many brands.

Just get a shop to make you some custom ones. You could get some Z emblem ones like MSA sells on it's wheels. I'm not sure if MSA sells the caps separately though.

Fuel pump relay is in the passenger side b-pillar. Should be able to see it by removing the vent in the door jamb.
