I know that most of our cars arent THAT old, especially the 240sx, But I’d like to get a list going for options of period specific wheels that were available and/or popular in Japan, when our cars were NEW, (early 90’s)

Now a days, these types of wheels are usually seen as “old school” or “rare”, because they either aren’t made any more or are made only on special order.

Pics, specs, availablility. Any info you have!

When I’m flipping through the pages of GRM, or other automotive mag, and see ads for wheels available and popular today it makes me wonder what those ads could have looked like 20 years ago

That link just tells you the name of wheels, not when they were sold/made.

I have a few sites that just have the names....

Here is a not bad site with a lot of pictures (with dates) from japanese car shows. They start in the early 90's and work up. You may find what you are looking for . http://tanetane92.web.infoseek.co.jp/gallery.html
