Jim,

That is a little odd. The roadster wheels are silver.
When the 240Z's first came out, they used the same
wheel... but painted the outside black!

Most likely someone got an early Z wheel, and painted
it silver to match the roadster.

Does the wheel have the little tabs for the hubcap?

Cheers,

Tom
