He's right. It doesn't even have those cool side mirrors. And besides, what kind of white comet replica wouldn't have a RedSuns logo on it?

The front feed, the same kind of watanabe's.
Actually, the feed lip looks different then that 'OEM' lip, and no, they didn't use watanabe's on the FC. Besides like the guy above me said, where's the Redsun's sticker? LOL and yeah he didn't have cool fold away mirrors!

Yo, Kevin. You might wanna look into these Black Racing rims:



They look basically same to Watanabe's and are not as expensive. I'm picking up set of these used since I would kill for Watanabe's too but I know I can't afford them :p

Yo,

Where do you get them? They don't have to be Wats, I just dig the color and style.

I'm about to pull the trigger on some Kosei 17's though...my long hunt for cool 16's is drawing to a close...

I dunno... I found them used. I'll ask the seller and see where he got them from. They're 16X8 and the offset is 30, 32, or 38... the seller said he wasn't sure but he knows it's one of those =/ They weigh only 16-17 lbs. I'll try and see if I can get some info for ya!

"wasn't Watanabe a brat packer?"

Not officially, GreatLouisianaRoadkill, though he did utter one of the more memorable lines in Brat Packer film history:

"What's happenin', hot stuff?"

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.

Thanks man, you're the coolest!

Perhaps you're not up to date on the latest Indiana slang.. steal = buy with a generous offer
