You're right! - these would fit 240Zs - why didn't i think about that.
They are aluminum, rather hefty with no cracks - should be quite strong

I had a set of 13" JAP Magna wheels that came on my Europa (Spitfire
pattern). In that 3.75" bolt pattern, the holes were a bit too close to the
big
countersink on the back side of the wheel. All of these wheels were
cracked from the bolt holes to the center hole. Even so, a Lotus guy in
California jumped at them when I told him I wanted 100 bucks each, just to get
him to stop asking. Since I think they are magnesium, I don't know who he
will get to repair them. I was very clear that the wheels were being sold
not to be driven on without repair.
I expect these in the TR size (4.5") to be a lot stronger in that regard.
I also think they might fit 240Z cars.
In any case, they are gorgeous, beautifully period, and could be a real
bargain. I'd snap them up myself, but Sue insists upon wire wheels for her
TR4.
