I stumbled on this site, so far as I can tell, it shows various Wats in varying sizes on a wide variety of Datsuns/Nissans.

I thought it might be of interest, less for the rims, more for the thoroughness of models depicted. There are a lot of photos, and it will take some time to load, but it's worth it.

You'll be at the end when this one shows up, gotta love the side pipes.

Also, each thumb has multiple shots, have fun looking around!

Hey, Lachlan, you're famous...again.

Are those sizes right? Is your back wheel 14x9 -15 offset? If that's the case, then I'd better rethink the 15x8 -4 offset I was planning. Might have to beg / borrow / steal a pair off Gainsey's car :devious:

How'd your ride in the Fat Lady go? Can the man steer, or what? I started sorting myself out later in the day, but still managed to have a few moments.

Few good shots of the Fat Lady here Go to the QLD Rally Championships gallery, then select the NDSCC Sponsor Day gallery.

For example

And another

Hi Pete-

Well it actually says -19 on the website However I don't know. I didn't send them any offset info, so maybe they made an educated guess? The fronts mustn't be right though as they say Type B. I know they are Type A.

He sure can drive alright!! Bloody awesome ride. No wonder he had a queue.

Thanks for the link to the pictures too, I was hoping some would surface on the net sooner or later.
