Looking for these wheels

I want some that look like this, but in 17's. I need some decent width, too. I don't know where to find them.

I don't think you're going to find them in 5-lug. I'm pretty sure the Old school Z guys had them make some better sizes and offsets in 17's, but they were probably all 4-lug.

Look into real Watanabes or Panasports, you can find used ones for decent pricing.

Do you have any pics of that style wheel on a Supra. I've always loved Wats, but I don't know if they would look that good on a Supra.

i've never seen a set of those anywhere above 16''... most are used by drift and honda dudes because there 4 lug and have high offsets plus low rim width...

if you manage to find a set, post the link, because more than likely they'll also have other rims.

rbwheels.com is a good place though, could try emailing them and see what they say.

As what's already been said...

I've never seen that style of wheel any larger than a 16".

To be honest, I don't know how they'd look on a MK3.

I know they'd look great on a MK2 with a lowered stance...but I'd certainly have to question them on a MK3.

What has been seen cannot be unseen : (

Those wheels make my penise sad.

 

[MKIIINA]

good luck as according to that website the largest they are made in for our bolt pattern is 15 x 8.0 +12 4h x 114.3. With that offset its not going to fit. Ugly rims imho

 

[Wiisass]

With that bolt pattern, they aren't going to fit either.

And they do make these in 17s, check out HybridZ, they had a big group buy on them. But they're 4-lug.

The real Wats were made in bigger sizes are well. I just saw a set of 17x9+25 for sale. I don't think I've ever seen the RS-8 in 18's though. But I don't know if I like how the bigger ones lookk. 15 and 16" wats look amazing on corollas and 240s without real agressive aero and a bunch of other cars.

Speaking of these rims, and penises.......(and little balls)

NWS?........... :biglaugh:

bet a dick owns that supra.......LOL

 

[SupraOfDoom]

You don't want Rota's anyway.

 

[Poodles]

Nothing wrong with Rotas... (they supply some of the OEM's)

Don't tell me "because they break," because I've seen broken sawblades too. Hit a curb at 60 at a large wheel with low profile tires is gonna bend/break

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Dude, they break far more often then just about any other brand. People generally don't just make shit like that up. I've been on way to many forums reading rota horror stories.

 

[1992supraman]

all my honda friends rock rotas....

 

[SupraOfDoom]

They don't have 3400+ lbs sitting on them so maybe they will be ok.

 

[Poodles]

Local guy has em and hasn't had a problem... He's also over 400HP and beats on it (MKIIINA on the forums)

 

[SupraOfDoom]

I talked about this in another thread recently. I'm sure Rota probably worked out most of the kinks... but I'd rather get not so cheap wheels ( Universal lug nuts just says I'm ebay crap to me, which most ROTA's are. ).

But hey I'm picky on that stuff.

 

[Poodles]

LOL, I've seen high end wheels drilled in the areas where the second set of lug nuts would be.

It's weight savings dooooood

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

Tho's are watanabe knock offs.Your not going to find a knock off or a real one in 5 lug.Tho's wheel are seem on AE86's,240's and these days hondas.

But.....I did find this for you



maybe theres hope....and who new they don't look have bad on a supra

 

[forcefedsupra]

I don't care what brand they are. I just like them. I have found some in 17's and in five lug that would fit the Supra, but they had no lip. I think I'll just get them for my 86 corolla when I get it. Thanks for all the info.

 

[MKIIINA]

Yup I rock Rota's on my mk3 as does Iceberg (the original that turned me on to them)

Been on the car for over 2 years now of near constant abuse and still look great. Only gripe I have about them is I can't find center caps to fit! They are also stamped with their weight limits (675 kg ~= 1477lbs per corner) which is well within the weight of the Supra I think.

That said any rim can crack. Over on the IS forums they have a few thereads on the L-Tuned wheels that came on the IS300 that are cracked all the way around the hub. The wheels were made by Rays and then in rebadged as L-Tuned. I run them on my Sportcross without issue.
