The Wheels are Bathurst Globes.

In 1974 IPD offered a wheel for the 140 in their catalogue which looked to be an American Racing Torq Thrust (that name just kills me) or a clone. American Racing is still in business and selling wheels with the same name. I don't know whether they offer up the correct bolt pattern, offsets and widths for a 140.

In the mid '70s the Torq Thrust was the go to wheel for all the Datsun 510 owners who wanted to pretend they were in a BRE Datsun 510 (although I don't know that BRE used American Racing wheels).

Cragar offers similar period styles wheels.

Thanks, have a set of TT2's. Not see them for 5 X 108mm though. There's a few others that do similar wheels. Will check.out Cragar.

Tho not period correct, how about the ones fitted to 240 Torslanda? Quite pretty, not over modern looking.

I quite like virgos with the centre painted black and the outer silver. I’ve sourced a original set of restored ATS alloys so will stick them on and see how they look. I might also get a set of new springs from Amazon cars and lower 1” from original .
