Hi Jackboot,

The wheels on the car in your photo are made by a company in Japan called "R.S. Watanabe".

That design is their classic "8 Spoke" ( 'Hachi-Spo' ) design, which they have been making since the 1960's.

You can still buy this design new - but they are a little expensive when shipping and taxes are taken into account.

Take a look at their website for further information:

R.S. Watanabe Japan website

My 1972 Fairlady 240ZG is fitted with these wheels. You can see images in my Gallery of you are interested.

Are you sure that your Skyline is a PGC110 or is that a misprint / mistake? A "P" prefix would signify the S20 twin cam engine, and on the 110 series "Ken & Mary" Skylines this was only fitted on the KPGC110 model.

Hey HS30-H !

You are right it`s a GC110, 6cil 2.400c.c

Thank you for your and SuperCharged-Z- information.

By the way here i can find those parts of plastic placed on top of the wheels. I see some 240z with it and of course the classic KPGC110 2000 GT-R.

I ment to make a replica of KPGC110 but in 4 doors version.

Hi Jackboot,

Now I understand about your Skyline. If it had been a REAL C110 GT-R I think I would have eaten my chair.:classic:

Are you looking for the GRP / FRP / Fibreglass "Overfenders" that would give your car a similar look to the one in your photos? I think that is what you mean.

Well - if you have a 4-door GC110 the it gets a little bit difficult. I have seen them in Japan, but they are a really funny shape on the 4-doors and I'm not sure if its still possible to buy them. The ones for the 2-doors are still available as replicas - but there's probably not much call for the 4-door ones.

As you are in Portugal, I might be able to help you with your search for used Watanabe wheels. What size are you looking for? Probably not too wide for a 4-door?

Let me know.

Sorry about my english, it`s not very well :ermm:

I don`t the name but i think is "overfenders" like you said.

So about the wheels, i`m looking for a 15"x7 with 0 or -10 offset to the front to equip 205/60 r15 and 15"x8 with -10 or -20 for behind to equip 225/55 r15.

You think it`s to wide?

hehe, another C110 !! They're all coming out of the woodwork...

JMT240KGTR has put some wide wheels on hte back of his 4 door 240K, he will be able to tell you of those will fit or not. From memory I think he had 225's on, which JUST fit.
