Classic panasport wheels for GSL-SE
I believe I have searched the entire internet for a set of classic panasport wheels that will fit a GSL-SE and have not had any luck. Does anyone know of where I could find these or even a set of replicas??
|
my car came with a set of Konig wheels...they look a lot like the old Panasports...

Wait a sec. I just saw this on the Mazdatrix website: https://www.mazdatrix.com/panasportwheels.htm
|
See how they all say "race"?
From a guy who ran race Panas on his Miata for years, be careful over potholes. Those wheels are built for the track, not back road rallying. |
oh yea....watch out with 'race' type products....the Urban Jungle can be a rough place...LOL...
super-light weight stuff is prone to fail with street use....my .02.... I use it on my motorcycles tho....;) |

panasport.com hasn't changed in 10 years, but the date has been updated in 2014. |
You could always get some Watanabe wheels. Panasport, Watanabe and Minilite I think are the oldest makers of the classic 8-spoke "magnesium" style wheel. These type of wheels look good on any vintage European or Japanese car.

It is just difficult to find a wheel with a high enough offset. I would like +38

Mine were 15x7 +35 and I used a 3mm spacer. Never had any kind of issue at all. :)

These guys will build to suit. Superlite 15×8 | Trans Am Race Engineering
Are strong enough for street with an AS rating. But no DOT rating (AS is more rigorous but not DOT) |
I just bought some enkei compe wheels, they have the classic 8 spoke look. You can find em on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Enkei-Gunmeta.../dp/B00DNLF6KC

Can you post a pic of the compes installed? These are the ones I want to get as well. Also, What size and offset did you end up getting?
