The ad says panasports, but they might be knockoffs. Also similar looking is the watanabe.

Those are real Panasports. You can get them from mazdatrix or panasport directly. Last time I thought about ordering them they were around $900 new.

Do they even offer the c8-16s in our bolt pattern? Surprised noone has them if they do.

11k$ for that car

I've met the owner of that car when I was at the Mitty. Its a sweet ride with a lot of
mods. All done top notch and with the best money can buy.

Those wheels are Panasports and they are nice. He's asking for 10k and its well
worth the price. The owner is an ex-rotary racer and does know his stuff.

Sweet ride indeed. Its got nice paint, panasports, and a nice downdraft carb setup. Since when did our cars become worth more than 4k$ in excellent condition?

It is the buy it now price though so it could be well over the actual price of the car.

This car is a lot more than just meets the eye. Read the list of mods closely. It was
repainted 10 years ago by an excellent paint guy in Charlotte. It still looks great.
It actually looks better in person that in the pictures. This is not a fake or a photo
shopped ad.

I think 10K is what it will take for him to sell it. Otherwise he drives it around to
events like the Mitty or Cars and Coffee and has fun with it. Will anyone pony up
10K for it? Not likely.

The easiest way to avoid selling a car you love is to ask more for it than you know people will pay. Every time someone asks what I want for my car I tell them $12K. Which if one were to build my car exactly as I did, would actually cost them more. But everyone just gives me a funny look. That's ok, I'll just keep driving it, keep putting money into it to make it faster and enjoy every moment of it.

I'm sure it looks excellent in person. Well you've seen the car and I haven't. Hopefully he gets what he deserves for it!
