Wantanabe Price?

[Gav240z]

Hi guys i've come across a set of 2 Wantanabe's.

Here's the add details

only have 2 wheel, was on my ef civic, 4x 100, very light, good for race, asking $100 for both

and pic below

Anyone think there worth getting?

I wouldn't use them on my Z there not deep enough.

4x100 will not fit your nissan. for nissan you want a 4x114 pattern.

Thanks for the reply i had a think about it anyway and decided it's not worth buying even so that i could sell them for more later. So if anyone wants them there here at.

I wasn't gonna fit them on my Z anyway just thinking about them because I was under the impression that they were sort after and expensive.

Thanks Again.

You can get spacers to put on a z to install these wheels, but I am not fond of this watanabe style. I believe these are called th F-8. I think these were made when Watanabe was owned by another company, but I am not sure on that.

Yeah, I think you should go with a 0 to +12 14 by 6.5J. These are way to negative. The single piece wheels look better on a Z in my opinion.

Take care,

Ben

That is some awesome dish Greenmonster!!! A Z would need some nice flares for those. I love your 1st gen skyline by the way.

I agree, those do have an awesome dish, BUT! his car is not a 1st gen Skyline in the true sense of the range. It is a C10 though, which is a very nicely styled car.

Does it have to be a GTR to be a skyline? My bad, I don't know a whole lot about skylines. I am learning. Hehehehe. Thanks for the correction Kyteler.

No No, not at all my good man! Infact it doesnt even have to be a 6cylinder.

Prince Skylines:

ALSIS-1, ALSIS-2, BLRA-3, S50, S54.

Nissan Skylines:

1500, GC10, GC110, GC210, R30, R31, R32, R33, R34 and the latest one.

Hope that clears up a little bit for you

The "Skyline" did not become the staple that it is until Nissan bought out Prince. Once Nissan had the Skyline a few changes were made and the legend begins. Thanks to those that have appreciated my car. It will be in Panama City Florida the weekend of March 14th for the Nopi Car show. There will be another actual GTR there as well.
