Yeah man that is the rim im talking about. Does anyone know were i can find a set.
thanks

 

Hey all thanks for the help. I just though i would say i found a brand new set today at our local wheel and tire shop. They are american racing dealers and he had a set back there. Thanks for the help.

 

There were two manufacturers of this type of rim. The type shown in the picture is indeed Western Wheel called the "Cyclone" I had a set on my 1976 280Z. American Racing made a similar wheel called the "Vector". It looks distinctly different from the cyclone as it has fewer ribs and a different shaped cavity.

I personally liked the Cyclone better but they were failry brittle and not really good for any type of offroad activity. The rim edge could be cracked very easily. If you are only driving on the road, they are pretty cool rims.
