My GTi on 13inch rs8s

Hi Edd,

I have seen Watanabe 13" Magnizium(did I spell it right?) alloys in Yahoo Auction Japan. It is only £145 for a set of 4 with brand new tyres.....
I'm not sure if I can ask my compnay to bring it in for me for free....

I asked boys in Nissan to machine my drive flange to 100mm PCD. So I can use Honda alloys. May be I can get hold of race alloys for K-cars.

Cheers

magnesium, but I know what you mean so spelling is irrelevant makes them very light wheels!
thats a cheap set of four! you shouldn't tell me that, I thought i got a bargain paying £100 for these four (tyres were extra).
I was going to use some kei type wheels on my min, they are usually only 4.5 or 5j wide though and in really high offsets, or were when I found them.

Hi Edd,

Here you go.
PCD is 114.3 and 6.5J.

1.8Kg/wheel, 4.2kg with tyre!
I want it but.....I'm getting 100PCD!

Then, I quite like those!

4.2kg with tyre

I want them, how do you find this stuff? Do you speak japanese...

Do they do them in 14"? I dont think 13's will go over my calipers

Hi,

I am Japanese and top ones are 14" wheels with 185/60-14.
You should be able to just fit them as it is.

£152 as it is but delivery charge from Japan will be very expensive. But If you try to buy them in UK. You will be paying £300 each easy, as it is race spec alloys.
Interested? get in touch with me and I will let you know who to get in touch with!

your figures must be wrong, you must mean 4.2kg without tyre. Tyres are heavy

I may be interested though. But would want 195/45/14 Toyo T1R tyres fitted

How much would a set be posted to UK?

Hi,

I have checked it and you are right.
Wheel is 4.2Kg..... . They are 1.8Kg lighter than same design by Watanabe.

My Mini drive flange is getting modded to 100pcd with M12x1.25 instead of 3/8" std Mini. I can start to look for 13" wheels for Honda/Mazda/Renault/Toyota/VWs.

I would love to find light wheel, may be split rims.

Cheers

they look the same as watanabe, what make are they?

They are Watanabe wheels.
But it is race version hence Magnesium.

I really want a set, but the postage is more than the wheels..

I dont want magnesium either, alloy will do me fine
