www.jarcoinc.com may be able to get you a set if you can get a hold of them. they carry mostly 4-bolt wheels, but they are loaded with that style of wheel so you may get lucky.

by the way...those rims aren't the ones they used on the "white comet" in Initial D, although the AE86 ("Tak's" car for the english dubbed watching viewers or Takumi for the Japanese dubbed) had some on the car.

Maybe some of you would like some 4-lug hubs? Hmmm? I actually like having 4 lug hubs, it leaves the door open for all sorts of crazy old school wheels.
Take a lookie. Yes, this is from an AE86 site, but as long as the wheels are 14" or larger they will fit my 7.

Those are Watanabe F8s, the 1 piece version of the wheels on my car...Watanabe RS8s on my car. Much nicer 3 piece wheels with some dish. Black face and polished lip.
16x9 +20 offset rear (2" lip) 245s
16x8 +15 offset front (2" lip) 205s

Yo,
Thanks to everyone who posted info on where to get them!
I actually like the F8's vs. the RS8's...I like the solid color vs. the silver lip and bolts.
Old School forever! *grin*

It was posted up here already, but definitely check wheel choice regularly (www.wheelchoice.com). They get Watanabes in quite frequently.
Hey Kevin, don't you have S5 TII rims painted? I would like to steal them if you EVER would want to get rid of them.

for those of you who say these wheels are hard to come by check ebay often. I've seen two sets already that go for around 800 bucks. they are used and they come with tires. Just keep paying attention.

Yo,
Hey Mike, I've got someone that I promised to sell to him awhile back, I'm still looking for some rims to replace them.
When I finally get serious, I will contact him, then if he's not a player, I will contact you. You are in "Second Position".
And what's all this about "stealing" them? I buy at wholesale and sell at retail!!
I'll let you know since your 10th AE would look pretty sick with the gloss white meshies.

Be the same as putting Rota Slipstreams on a FC. The Slipstream being a Spoon Sports SW338 (or is it 388 or whatever) knock off and Spoon only making honda parts.

In 2ns stage is when he got the bronze or dark color wheels.
just because it's a white s5 with watanabe's doesn't make the car a replica. it's got a couple of simple similarites.. white and watanabe's..
