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
|

|

|

Attachment 719684 Attachment 719685 Attachment 719686 Oh BTW, i was talking about this lip on this fc http://images.snapfish.com/345794872...95555%3Anu0mrj |
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.
|

|
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

My god so sexy... I really like them
|
hm so i couldn't find aything when searching for www.takumiproject.com, it kept changing to ww5.takumi-project.com and was basically one of those directory sites. then i tried searching for rb motoring but couldnt find a site for them either. then i clicked on that last link to the rs-watanabe site but that wasn't in english and only showed 2 4 lug wheels...where in the hell are you people finding these? i love watanbe wheels but have never been able to find a site that sells them. all those fc's ^ there look amazing,but i must point out slow rotors car and ask, what body kit is that? (i have never seen it before, looks like ahalf bumper? is it fiberglass? i know too many questions lol) thanks guys

I got mine off the white FC you see in the picture, I got it cheap off a mate and originally swapped wheels as my tyres were near new and it needed a RWC. But they suited the car that much I just left them on there. It seems odd that they are 5 X 114.3, have the watanabe wheel nuts with them too, one is even a bigger size. The body kit is an Rmagic one that came on the car when I got it, the previous owner told me it was a bomex kit but when it was painted it had Rmagic stickers inside the kit. I've seen it on RHD japan however their front part comes with headlights etc, as you can see mine lines up with the lower half of the moulding.
|
so an r magic kit. hmm.... it goods good man. and those watanabe's top it off perfectly.
more watanabe sexy fc's anyone? |
