I think you'll find "offset" is the biggest issue here. I have not done much with custom rims on earlies, but 
I understand that your best way to go would be with rims made for Datsun 510 and Z cars. There should 
be plenty of these around to choose from....

this.   Anyone know which will work, as it could make it easier to see what aftermarket wheels might work, also if there are any offset concerns, etc.
