I know these are modern wheels but somehow they are retro enough in design to suit a 1000 coupe?
what do you guys think? they are 650usd delivered.

For the retro look, I'd go with the painted ones.
 
We just measured the offset on Ash's B10...
 
He's got 6J-14 wheels with +15 offset (102mm backspacing).
 
That plus the 175/60R14 tyres works well without scrubbing.
 
The Rays you've chosen look a lot wider than 6", but hopefully this helps

Sounds good guys thank you for the advice, I think I will order Gold centres cause im going for gold stripes and gold seats for the interior, I really want that 70s racers look as the car is a dark brittish racing green. Im interested in 14 x 7JJ but might end up with the 6.5 to be safe I will get the lips machined like 3mm deep for a paint on stripe in white also to mimick whitewalls instead of having to paint them on the low profile tyre and always discoloring itself.
 
With frenchy colored datsun centre caps should be ok the only thing that worries me is their weight as they look nice and eudm mixed with jdm but weight is the final decider.

are they comming from japan at that price?
interesting how the white stripe will look,
 
ive been looking at rota rb 8 spoke, like watanabes though look bulkier, and they
come with colored centers,
 
there's some on ebayau.....in usa
he's selling  2 x 15x6 +  2 x 15x7 he's saying there suitable for 1000,

i know nothing about offset specs,
would those 15's go ok on b10?
anyone know if they come in 14ns,
 
i cant save pics (virus), but here is a link to the colored center ones,

Unfortunately Rota crack very easily due to poor casting look up anywhere online rota crack or other words
