13x8 fake panasports
this is a notice for the rota wheel group buy.....the fake pano's seem to only come in 13x8 for track use but they would be cheap if you had a group wanting them...maybe like 400, or less if lots of people..they wiegh 14lbs i know its heavy........but the other 15x7 wheels wiegh about the same im pretty sure but they are 15x7, al ot of styles are available too...........these are also like 450 or less if lots of people...meaning only like 8-10 per wheel style most likely......rota told us that they want to test out these wheels if they are going to make them because our offset and bolt pattern is diff. than what they usually do....im making a thread in the group buy section so we quit taking up space in here....p.s.s the j.spl wheels wiegh 11 pounds at 15x6.5"

For these, I would contact Diamond racing, and find out the offset that they use for Spec RX-7s... They WILL stick out past the fenders.. hehe... But if you get these made with the same offset as the Diamonds, I'm in for TWO sets....

ok ill see what i can find out bud, but i will list all info in the groupbuy thread i made because we decided this was not the proper place on account of how huge it is getting, those are nice looking wheels too, i wish they came in a smaller width

These Konigs seem to be the best Panasport/Watanabe/Minilite wannabes out there right now

FYI
real watanabes in the traditional 8 spoke, and the newer RS-8 designs are still available new here in Japan, they are a little pricy though as the ones I just got 16x8 12mm offset and 16 x 9.5 24 mm offset cost me about 250,000 yen total new from the molds.

im in the midst with packracing right now who is an arizonian(lol) distributor for those pano look alikes from performance _-_ superlite wheels...they are really nice guys and willing to help, they could do a group buy but they are heavier then rota's(14lbs at 14x6 vs. 14lbs at 15x7) and more expensive but they are willing to give deals....if this rota thing falls through im buying wheels from these guys

no those wheels are not any of the brands aformentioned. they are actually rota RB's. only available in 4x100 13x8 for a miata. i stil doubt rota will listen to a small group of customers to make wheels for... my 2 cents.
