WTB: 15 inch Watanabe wheels or look like

Post by B^2 »

Wondering if anyone has a set of four 15inch Watanabe wheels or replicas version for a four door 1970 510. Going to be running 280zx strut coilovers and rear coilovers in the back. Would prefer the same offset/spacing across all four wheels. Will consider some replica like rota, etc.

Why limit yourself to one car when life is to short to be settled? Get busy and drive as many vintage jap cars as you can!

I have an extra set of Wats I'd sell, but they're too wide for our dimes unless you wanna go the 'hella flush' route. They were intended for my Z.

If/when I get another set I'm going the Konig Rewind route. You can get a new set for $450 bucks shipped. If you haven't considered them, check'em out.

Not opposed to the konig's but I want a black wheel and I think they start at 15x7 which I hear will rub in the rear. I hate wheels that are cambered extremely or have super stretched tires.

15x7 doesn't rub if you get your spacing correct.

If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Buy Wats. Konigs are okay. Just don't buy cheap/fake shit

205/50R15. They just fit in the front with rolled fenders. I am about 3 to 4mm from the struts.
