Picking up some RS-Watanabes
 

Im picking up some Watanabes for $500 or less.

They are black with polished lip.

I have an SE and the wheel sizes are:
4 x 114.3
15x6.5 +34 Fronts
16x7.0 +27 Rears

Thinking about putting them on

205/55/15 Front
225/50/16 Rear

I was on the Watanabe website and the fitment for FCs were +30 front and +25 rear. So hopefully these will fit pretty good.

I just want to get everybodys input on what they think. I have a White S4 FC3S with S5 tails. The car is dropped on Tanabe GF and KYB AGX Shocks. I have color matched side moldings and mirrors what what do people think of Watanbes on Rx-7 FCs?

got some pics ?

I'm picking up some as well

5 x 114.3
17x8 +30
17x9 +30

I'll post up pics when I get the rims.

where can you get some Watanabe rims at? I was also interested in some (17x9 +15 offset for the front & 17x10 +12 offset for the rear) for the 5x114.3 lug pattern. If you can find out I would greatly apreciate it..thanks!

takumi project, rbmotoring

beware, rims aren't cheap new.

i love these rims!!! at our local importer... there were two w/ the 5 x 114.3 lug pattern. the owners said they were ugly. if there were two more i would've jumped on them. i love the way they look on FC's. not because the initial-d bandwagon... but b/c they are soo light and look badass.

wantans are pretty cool.. i dont know if i like them on fc's but they should have been stock on the ae86. post pics when you get them mounted

best rims evar for the FC!!!!!!!

rims?? call them wheels please...

ah call em whatever u like . but lets get some pics goin i wanna see the best rims wheels or rollers for the fc!

My friend just picked up some watanabe wheels at a shop out here in LB since you're in So cal might be easier for you to pick them up I'll find out and let you know on this post

Here are the pictures. Sorry I only have a camera phone so bare with me. Hopefully I can get hold of a camera. Let me what you think! Im getting the lip refinished and the face repainted gunmetal.

I was about to say, now you just need some Red Suns stickers and a Feed lip :D Wheels look good on there, I like the Wantanabes but can't afford them.

lol nah man that sticker is pretty gay IMO. When i get a lip i dont know which one, im just going to get my boss to repaint the whole car and then redo the interior then im done. After that just wait for a new engine.

Nice rims

Do you need another NA hood in White? Got one for $40...excellent condition. PM if interested.

ive wanted wats for years

No But if you have that s13 lip then I will buy from you!

looks pretty nice

Get it right.

Those are SSR Watanabe RS-8s. Multi-piece wheels (usually two piece) with a polished lip.

SSR Watanabe RSs are one piece wheels and have no polished lip or bolts holding the face to the rim.

Get it right. The brand is watanabe with the 3 swans. Gt.

SSR Doesnt make Watanabes any more. Rs-8 is just a model made by Rs-Watanabe. Go look.

speed star makes them, heres my TII with watanabe rs-8's and yes they are definetely the best looking wheels for the FC and they are also era correct
