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.
