here's some photos of my k, which is coming along slowly, still got to do a full respray (thinking r32 gtr white) but not sure what wheels to use... I got these aluminium wheels for when I added the flares, they have quite a large negative offset, but I am thinking that some watanabes would be a little sweeter.

also needs a tidy up in the engine bay, and most of the gtr bits - mirrors, grille, badges etc. It's not a cheap excercise gathering the bits, is it? On yahoo at the moment, someone is selling a grille for over 1700 dollars. I find it amazing that these parts are starting to be worth this much!

nice coupe you have there.

i've got these pics to help your decision, i have more if they dont need to be white

wow that would look so nice! im so j:beer:

thanx dan_j,

more pix would be good, you can never have too many

the bad thing about watanabes is the price, I am quite keen to get some of the other things that I mentioned before they all become astronomically expensive, but wheels will have to be purchased soon.

is one of those k's yours?

I'm looking into wheels myself now, my problem is what width and offset I will need, to fill the flares, once I get them.

no, unfortunately not a single one of these are mine. they are just there for inspiration if i do find one that takes my interest.

most of these are just off japan yahoo auctions:

Noddle: here is some information given to me by 440k :

According to the Watanabe sales stuff, the following wheel offsets fit the C110GTR:

Designed with:

Front: 14-8.0 -6

Rear: 14-8.0 -13

Watanabe suggest the following wheels:

Front: 15-8.0 +/-0, or 16-8.0+/-0 F8

Rear: 15-8.5 -6, or 16-8.5 -6

Another option might be to fit the Performance Superlights at 9.5 kg's each.. I think they are available in 16 x 10 now. I know they made the 15's in 10" wide. Cheaper than Wat's but just a little heavier.

here's my 16" wat's, although bad photo's of them on the car

have you got any pictures showing how they look from behind,

personelly I hate wheel that "sit out" to fill the gaurd, but dont go in to fill the wheel well, if you know what I mean, that's what's on my car atm.

also have u got a picture showing the relation ship of the top of the wheel against the "over fender" (flare, I love that word),

Nigel

i don't, but next time i pull the car out (hopefully this weekend, weather permitting), i will stick them back on and try to get some for you.

kent, have you got any other photos of your watanabes on the car? and what made you choose 16" instead of 15"?
