RS Watanabe Wheels

Any idea where I can get hold of a set of these ?  I’ve seen various pictures dotted about the place and they appear to do some nice looking grey/gunmetal ‘minilite like’ versions.  My internet skills are so bad i’ve had trouble finding anyone in the UK that appears to stock them. 

Can you still buy these new ?  Anyone of you clever types out there know anymore ?

 

G’day mate

These wheels are made in Japan, I don’t know of a UK supplier, AT might know of one. They pop up on ebay occasionally, and people like Autolink might have a set

A quick look at ebay uk shows these at Autolink

Geoff - thanks for the quick response !!  These are they ! I think they would look rahter splendid on the red Eunos. These examples looked a little sad but I guess its a matter of keeping a eye open on the intenet thingy to see what else is out there.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Here’s what 15" Watanabes look like on my Mariner Blue/White Roagster

 

Geoff - they look great.  Are they good wheels ?  (sorry to sound stupid here - I know a fair bit about auto engineering but my knowledge of Japanese aftermarket wheels is somewhat limited).

In my opinion, they are as good as it gets, seem to be very strong, look good and are very light weight. These are my second set, I upgraded to 15" [the one’s in the pic] mainly because it’s easier out here to find the tyres that I wanted in 15"

Great stuff ! I think this is the route I’ll go.
