Posted June 8, 20204 yr comment_600881 Hello, does anyone have specific knowledge regarding the specific difference between, Type A, Type B, and F8's are? While I like the history of Wat's and general statements like, "its a different type of offset" im looking for more specific information. I have seen several wheels that have been painted over and the factory markings have been lost over time or possibly sanded away in previous restorations. Please advise what the difference is between the wheels. We can leave out type R and type RS, as these are obviously different looking from the other wheels (in my opinion) with gratitude, Izzy Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64123-watanabe-types-a-b-f8-how-to-tell-difference/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 10, 20204 yr comment_600941 From what I get on their website http://watanabe.polyhedron.io/ The F8's sound like they're front wheel drive maybe. the A's are aluminum and the B's are magnesium.
