since I see so many posting their stuff they've been getting from ebay i figured i'd post what i just got from ebay for my xmas present...











thanx to the guy a while ago who posted this on the forum...anyone know what tires fit these? they are 14x6

 

Very nice, Bizarro. Can't wait to see your updated pics with those style wheels on a white seven.

 

i won't have pix till spring...till then i gotta get tires and maybe some center caps for them...anyone know where i can get nice center caps for these?

 

Nice!! how much did you get them for?

 

thanx...new i found some 15" for $2200...these are slightly used 14" from ebay for $622 shipped

 

Was shipping expensive? I bought some Enkeis for $200 and shipping was $250!!

 

nope...these rims are LITE!!!! ask Tom...he helped me put these in my garage when they arrived...they weight 13lbs each...shipping from CA to NJ ground was $55

 

those look nice, man! Panasports? 2-piece?

check out www.tirerack.com for tires. i used to run Yokohama A509s on my SE rims before, but i know they have long since been discontinued as have the AVS Intermediates, but you can check to see if maybe the AVS Sport is available in 14" sizes ...

 

A great and affordable performance tire is the Falken Azenis Sports in 195/60R14, which can be had for $57 each, including shipping (!), from Discount Tire Direct. Super stiff sidewalls, great grip and -- suprisingly -- do okay in the wet. I've put ~2,500 miles on mine and can't say enough good stuff about them.

 

Watanabe RS-8's 14x6.0 (Type A +13) 4X114.3 Gunmetal...dunno much about rims to say if they are 2 piece or not...think they are...

 

Great looking wheel! Update us on the pics please!

 

Vulcan tire ( http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_t.htm ) has a better deal on those tires I think...

 

P.S. Any idea how much offset on the wheel? Do you need spacers to fit them on your SE?

 

they'll fit the SE without spacers and i believe the offset is +13...these rims are really popular with the Toyota Corolla AE86 guys for autox...

can't my current stock tires fit these rims 205/60-14? I was told they are the same size...

 

your current tires will fit fine.

oh and.... INITIAL D!!!!!!!!

 

FRIGGIN NICE!!!!!!!! I've seen these new on www.takumiproject.com for about $2K...brand new 16's or 17's though..

Good deal nonetheless!!!!!! They'll look sweet on a FB. Post some pics when you get some tires!

 

Neither Vulcan Tire nor Edge Racing include shipping in their prices, so unless you live really close, the overall price is higher. At least in my case -- way out in Seattle -- it was by a big margin. Plus, Discount Tire Direct is the online outlet of a national retail chain (Discount Tire and America's Tire), so you get free mounting and $10 balancing locally.

 

those wheels are HAWT! have fun with them

 

azenis are nice for performance and price, but their tread life isn't that great.

 

yeah, the stock 205/60-14 will fit just fine.

 

Would the Falken Azenis Sports in 195/60R14 fit the stock 82 Rex Wheels?

 

Bizarro,

Measure the diamtere of the center hole in millimeters, and I can order them for you here in japan. the center caps run around 30~40 bucks depending upon the tire shop I order from. I will get price quote first, and then email you a copy of it.

BTW the watanabe's are one of the lighter rims on the market, especially the the original racing series .

little history for all, the watanabe racing originally came as a 4 spoke model, then they came out with the watanabe 8 spoke then came the RS-8 which weighs the same as the original 8 spokes, but the rs-8 is 2 piece, and aluminum. the original 8 spoke was magnesium and one piece
