In my dreams: Watanabe wheels

[v12horse]

This is a set of very nice wheels. I always see the guys with AE86's buy Watanabe's on ebay. Why doesn't someone with an old school Z buy them. They are beautiful.

p.s. Alfa, this is dish. Yours are more.

Those are sweet, Ben.

I got out bid on that last set. Didn't want to commit too deep on them because their offset was questionable. But the are dead on.

Since I've started "Shopping", I've seen that they come up from time to time for a reasonable price. I've started to keep my eye on the club4ag.com forums as that seems to be a hot bed of wheels for sale that fit Z's, Roadsters and Bluebirds.

Mmmm!! Those are sexy. In near new condition too! Someone here please buy them

[v12horse]

Get these wheels for your Zed Victor! You will be the hippest guy on the block. I am a member of Club4ag.com and I have been looking at the classifieds there for a while. I always look at the AE86 wheels on ebay because they all fit the Z, but they can take a wider wheel than the Z without flares.

Hey Victor

There's another place you can try too - get a new shipment roughly every month - it's where i found mine... SoCal Alteration (or Alta for short) run by some Japanese kids in Temple City, almost exactly at the corner of Valley and Temple City Blvd

Yay, I am high bidder, but at $300 as my highest bid won't cut it. I figured that much, but I had to try. Buy them someone, these are beauts. Just think of the dish. Man oh man.

Although not directly Watanabe related, I thought I'd mention that I've got my eye on some nice (well they will be once I'm finished) other old style JDM wheels for the C110, the only problem is I might need to have flares fitted first before I can put them on, but they're a nice wheel until I can get my hands on some dished Watanabe's. Not that there's anything wrong with my current Watanabe's... I just miss having dished rims.

I'll fill in the details about the wheels I'm looking at once/if I get them.

On another note.. those mentioned Watanabe's would be fantastic, pity they're in America

How far away are the flares that whatshisname was having made in Melbourne? Come on man, dont leave us on edge now!!! Tell us what wheels these are gunna be. What size??? Come on (in another thread of course)!!! MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm

[kyteler]

Nah, they're not Longchamps XR4's.

I'll let you know soon enough, if you haven't heard anything by Tuesday next week then remind me.

Oh.. and James is going to help me out with getting that guy to make some flares once I've got some cash set aside for them, so that's all good. Having a job really helps with the money side of things :laugh:

Got some shocks and springs for the front waiting at the local Nissan dealer too, $415.98NZD. :surprised

[v12horse]

Errrrr. I got outbid. I am going to watch it and if they don't go too high like the set that Victor was talking about I will bid. These must go on an s30!!!

[kyteler]

I think they need really need to go on YOUR S30

GO BEN! I hope you can get them man, I know you'll appreciate and covet them.

[lordbiotree]

Wish I had a set like those.

Question: Are those similar to the passports? If not what are the difference?
