Ive found the Watanabe's I want, there not for sale, but these are the specs I want:

 

14x8.5 -10.

 

 

 

They look super hot, and would suit the car perfectly, i think I'm going to be quite the wheel collector ahahah :bash:

 

Cheers.

 

Travis.

 

They are very cool, I had 14x8 -6 Wats

 

For a set of 14x8.5 Watanabes you're gonna need at least $2000 if you can find a set 2nd hand otherwise allow $4500 + freight to Aus, + another $1000 for tyres.

 

You won't be collecting these sort of wheels anytime soon lol

 

Cheers, Ben.

WHOAH!!!

 

Really?

 

Ill have to keep an eye out for a better deal!

 

Are they that expensive because of the ae86 tofu version intial d spec stuff?

 

They are hot wheels though ill save, ill get sometihng different to start with, but there ultimate!!

 

Cheers

 

Travis

those watanbe's are gangster as fark but very pricey :bash:

you could buy aus made superlight (similar to mini lights) and I'm fairly sure they are a made to order wheel, offset and width variable.

 

They arent the same as what you want, but they are similar.

 

like these-

+1

 

They arent made to order though

 

set of 15x8 -4 Superlight will be $1000 plus freight and tyres

 

good sized quality wheel made in australia, and pretty cheap. Look pretty tough on slant fronts

 

Cheers, Ben.

Ive seen the ones Shakotan Garage has for sale, 750 a wheel to my doorstep, and heaps of diffrent sizes, i worked that out as the price roughly for brand new watanabe 14 x 8.5 -13.

 

Dunno, when i want some expensive what's ill look alot more into pricing, also if you look back in the first lot of photos you will see some 15x6 superlights with semi slicks, i woulda kept them but not enough dish for me :P

 

Cheers though.

 

And today i just did a little more rust prep, and the cut up beige ke70 is ready tog o in the bin :bash: That will make my father very pleased.

 

Cheers.

 

Travis.

SWWEEEEET!

 

Thanks LittleRedSpirit

 

And yea, well moneys money, dosent make a difference if i spend it now or spend it at the club on stuff, id prefer to do something productive with it that lasts (hopefully) longer thna one night :wink:

 

So it costing me money to be replaced a year or so is no worry at all, considering it will go in the black car anyway once turbo one is in this one.

 

Cheers

Do what you want mate you don't have to justify yourself to anyone :P Build your car the way you want, and you will enjoy the fruits of your labour :bash:

 

PS - Superlights can be had for around $800 per set if you shop around - plus tyres of course

Thanks Luke.

 

$800 dollars isnt too bad at all. and do they look like real watanabes, because the 15's i had didnt, just looked similar, i definately want the ones on that blue ae86, like the specs, the look, everything.

 

When wheel time comes i will be looking around for sure.

 

Cheers.

 

Travis.

problem with superlights the offset is in the spokes not the dish, so they don't look like they have neg offset

 

check out yahoo japan should be able to get some for a ok price second hand

Yea ive only recently found yahoo japan, some cool wheels there!! the only what's i found were like a fwd styled offset, little to no dish at all...

 

Cheers.

 

Travis.

fwd offsets

 

try this might be more rwd offset for you

http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r49602688

http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n76706958

First one is crazy offset :P

 

The other two are perfect, but yea wow price 17500 for the fullset one and 750ish for the pair, ill have to save my dollars to get those.

 

I will probably get some Mk II's to start with, like in that picture i drew in my sig :bash:

 

Cheers.

 

Travis.
