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?

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!

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.

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.

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.
