Watanabe Rims

[mmagnus]

Anyone know where I can get a new or newer set of RS Watanabe rims. Preferably black and 16#. Would consider 15 also.

I just did a quick search on google and came up with this site:

Their contact details are on their main page:

If you inquire or get some, could you let me know how much they cost?

Good luck.

you can sometimes find them on ebay as well. only problem with ordering them from overseas would be the shipping coast as im sure it would be some kind of outrageous.

i did a search on google and there are several places you can get them from.

If I wanted to buy these rims, what size and bolt pattern is a '72 240 Z?:stupid:

[kyteler]

The PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) of my brother's old (old as in, it's passed on to someone who is doing it up) 280ZX and my 240K and my other brother's 1989 R32 is 114.3 4stud, I'd assume the 240Z is the same, however, where you run into issues in fitting wheels into guards is the offset. Unfortunately, I have no idea what this has to be.

However, I am going to try a set of Performance Suprerlites on my car (As close to Watanabe's as I can get without being them) and I'll see if I can discover what it has to be for a Z while I'm there, as I'll be trying them on my 240K.

Oh, and I dare say you'll want at least 15's but 14's are more common for the year of car.

The rims on my 240K at the moment are Asahi 15x7 3-piece Alloys, but I dont like gold wheels so I'm changing for the Superlites, eventually.

If you where to buy new ones for your 240k, what would you be selling the old ones for?

Probably less than the shipping cost from New Zealand to Florida... LOL

Yeah probably, but even if not, my brother would like them for his 2.8 Straight 6 MkII Supra and if he ends up not wanting them then I've already had a guy from my local Nissan dealer keen on them for a friend of his with a 240Z.

But in any case it probably wouldn't be worth the cost of sending them overseas.

thanks

Old thread, but still relevant.

Takumi can order them new.

Speaking of eBay sellers, I would recommend Sunny Motorsports in the LA area... As I recall they are in Temple City or thereabouts...

I got my 9.5J -13mm offset rears (new) from them...

Matched up with some 225/50R15 A048 tires they fit PERFECT on the 240...
