so dude was sellingthem a while ago but i dont have the money yet, where can i buy these in the future ?

Wheelchoice.com almost always has a set for sale and Jspec.com gets them fairly often as well...and they're not knockoffs either.

Or you could just get them off ebay. They come up on there a lot.

Watanabe's aren't hard to find wheels though, you should be able to get a hold of a set fairly easily. Good luck!

black racing ones or actual watanabe's?

*revat619* · 10-11-2003, 11:12 AM

Sorry about that. I was editing while you posted.

But yeah wheelchoice and jspec carry the real thing. Although its kinda hard to call the black racing one a knock off now that i think about it. I mean its a very dated style of rim as it is. Like mesh wheels....SSR makes mesh wheels, but people dont call rikens on enkeis knock off mesh you know. So yeah...

good point haha, ill see i like how those look and they are 15x6.5 +25 if i could find real ones in that size and a similar offset id get them also

*revat619* · 10-11-2003, 11:20 AM

hey i just found these.

ebay

These are nice, but you'd be paying way more than they're actually worth, imho. But if its worth it to you, go for it!

onevia519 · 10-11-2003, 11:23 AM

if you say they are worth less then im in no rush how much do similar ones go for? i can justify 300 just for shipping lol also do all of the real ones have studs around the outside ? i want ones taht are stud less

*revat619* · 10-11-2003, 11:40 AM

Well, i wouldnt say they're worthless. Its expensive to me cuz i'm cheap!

I guess its not that bad of a price for a full set of wheels, but i think you might be able to find them a little cheaper and a little closer to home.

hehe, i'm always looking for the better deal!

As for the "real" ones having the studs on them, not necessarliy. I've seen studless watanabe's. That all just depends on the design and how the wheel was made.

*revat619* · 10-11-2003, 11:48 AM
