Jspec has a used set of Watanabe RS8's up for sale in 15x7 +1 offset. As they say, you'll have to MAKE them fit but they might be a good deal for somebody. I would buy them or some similiar but I jumped on the band wagon before I knew what I do now so I have 5 lug hubs with 300z brakes. I won't complain to much though.

I'm not sure how much of a good deal this is but the price doesn't seem too bad.



Note: I wouldn't normally post this but I don't think any of the sponsors are selling used Watanabes and Jspec is more reputable (from what I've heard) than most e-bay listings so maybe this will help someone out on top of drooling over the wheels....

I think they're asking around 1200 for all 4 with those tires. It's on their website though.

There are two other offerings on e-bay if you look.Also, one set is 14", the other is 15" and the prices are alot better. They are just not the exact same set.

Takumi Project seems to have a distrubution deal with Watnabe or something LOL. All of their Wats now say "call for price", and they even carry Watanabe center caps a wheel locks! I thought about getting a Silvia front finally, but I may just get some 16x7/8 +0/+28 RS-8 w/ center caps

I been to takumi project... most of their wheels are oxidated beyond drivable

by the way since this is not in the for market place, its rule doesn't apply: the price seems a bit high

According to T.P. they're available in 5 lug. Probably by special order only. They have a couple of pics of high offset Watanabes in 5 lug but all the models claim 4/5 lug patterns available.
