http://www.konigwheels.com/catalog_p...ID=1&ss_id=430

i'm seriously considering gettign a set for my '84 -SE once she's on the road.

i've found them on the net in 14" 4x114.3, even :) looks like they normally go for between $100 and $150 per wheel.

Looks like some Torq Thrust wheels, or panasports.

they weigh 13.3lbs in the 14" variety, too :)

I saw the 14" rewinds brand new for $350 + shipping on ebay.

I was told the ones with the 4x114.3 bolt pattern are only available with 0 offset. You may want to double check the fit on your SE.
If I could get 15x7 4x114.3 with 40mm offset I'd be all over them for my 7.

So you guys don't have to keep going out there to look;

Looks *way* more like Panasports than Torq Thrusts.


Daddy likes...

If they offered those in a 15 x 7 w/4 x 110 for the non -SE first gens, I'd love to have a set for my car. I would even consider letting the Ronal's I have now go, for a set of those with the dark graphite center and polished lip.

damn dude those Ronals are sic....

So, I take it you think I got a killer deal when I bought the car, complete with those Ronal's and new falken 502 205/50-15's all for $500, and drove it home.
Only issue with the tires/wheels is a slight rub on the sway bar at full lock. Solution, don't turn to full lock.....:rlaugh:

Sick Rona's Rougue; I'd keep em just for the exclusiveness... Tonnes of AE86's roll around in rewinds already.

Yes I would also get some of those if they offered them.

Rogue, I now know exactly what my car would look like with your wheels.LOL.

those in 4x110 would definetaly rock. nice weight, nice look.... i dig em!

Actually
 

They are modeled more after the Japanese market Watanabe's. You can also get those in our bolt patter but with 0 offset which is fine with some flares. The Watanbe's arent cheap like the rewinds...price i mean. My co-worker has ordered a set for his 77 280z so I will let you know how they look upon closer inspection.

I like them alot, i think it would be cool of some of the 80s wheels would make a comeback and be reproduced by these companies. With the art of drifting it seems more and more 80s japanese cars are comming back and i see tons of people hunting for classic wheels and not having any luck. I know id buy a set of these or some mesh wheels for a first gen if i still had one :) I really need to get another first gen.

2-piece SSR RS-8s. they weigh marginally more than panasports, but they are a lot easier to repair. this is the only set ive ever seen stateside, although every once in a while ill find a set on ebay.



isaac

that's pretty much exactly what my SE would look like with those rewinds. sweet :)

SSR RS-8???
:confused:
they look like Watanabe RS-8s

They look a lot like the SSR's to me...

If those Konig Rewinds were available in 6 lug x 5.5" 15x8 they'd make a great autocross rim.

Those Konig's are more like a Compomotive or Minilite... Panasports have the 'banana' spoke shape
