Which ones are they? I got the issue that car was in years ago and fell in love with both those Datsuns. I really want those wheels too. Let me know which ones they are.

Thanks

The wheels on Tod's orange cars are custom made in japan by a company called Chevlon, I believe. Dont plan on buying them because you cant afford them and you dont know the right people.Wheels for a 510 are hard to find. The bolt pattern is 4 on 4.5" or 114.3mm. If you want a 7" wide rim, then you need a +23mm offset. It is easier to find +25mm offset wheels and use a small spacer to exactly locate the wheel. If you want an 8.5" rim, then you want a 35mm offset, and you shouldnt need a spacer. Nobody makes a 16x8.5 rim, (they are very rare) in a 4 lug pattern. Even if you do find one, it will be extremely difficult to find the right sized tire.I recommend using a 16x7 rim on all four corners and using 225 40-16 on the rear and 205 45 16 on the front.good luck to ya.You can also get a set of panasports....they have 510 specific rims that look nice.

heh havn't looked here in a while. Look at SSR wheels. Don't really remember what model, but you can find them from there. They are not the exact same, but they look really similiar.

The 16x7 Panasports with an 11mm offset fit with a little amount of hub juggling. You hopefully have an 810, 200SX, 280ZX strut so that you can get good brakes. Like Compression says above, 205/40-16's up front and 225/40-16's out back. it all fits under the stock fender well w/o flaring like Tod's orange 510 and the Chevlon's. He is right, you can't afford them.
