15x7 panasports are what I run on mine sometimes. I don't really want to mess with 14's. With 15's tires are easier to find and cheaper. Carl

panasports and from what i've seen they're $$$$, never seen an el-cheapo set until the set that sean posted.

Those don't look like copies though.

Panasport's are made in blanks. When you place an order with them they machine the lug pattern you desire. You need to supply the wheel diameter, width, offset, number of all holes and spacing, and the hub for your application.

Nope those are the real deal.
Panasports can't be copied. They are the one and only. The others that try to look like them never do.

Whoa, buddy Watanabe's are not el cheapo's. I dont know who came up with the style first pana or wata. But watanabe's are racing rims from Japan. Very light and If i had the choice between the two I would definately have to go with the watanabe's. I had a set for my Z while I was stationed in Japan and brought them back. The set sold for a little over 800.00 on ebay. and that was used with a touch of curb rash.

Damn those Black Rims looks so freaking hot! I think I am in love again. Where is the link to make the order or do you have to call them or what? Also how much do they normal sell for? I notice their site have them but is only for Racing and not for Street use or highway use. Why is that?
