Posted May 9, 201014 yr comment_318971 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!

May 13, 201014 yr Author comment_319494 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.

May 17, 201014 yr comment_320014 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. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/35833-watanabe-wheels-next/#findComment-320014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
