watanbe rep wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TylerLieberman · 09-03-2012, 10:16 PM

Anybody know of any companies producing watanabe replica wheels? Already looked at watanabe's site and they're good but $700 a piece for those things are a bit stupid for what I care to spend. I plan on purchasing 6-8 wheels at a time.

I'm looking for either 16s or 17s. 5x100 obviously. I'd like to have the wheel width be no less than 8" if possible.

Anybody know where to find some of these things?

not replica's so you'll be happy to hear that:
http://www.watanabe.com.au/

but unsure if they'll ship to you.

Thanks but in my op, i stated that I had already seen and got the prices for legit watanabe wheels shipped to my door. I would rather not spend that much and get more than 4 wheels. I would also be down for some stepped lip te37 style wheels.

16x8 or so in 5x100

rota rb-r?

TylerLieberman · 09-04-2012, 02:21 PM

Not made in 5x100

VENOM~ · 09-04-2012, 02:26 PM

5x114.3 swap will be out soon enough I'd think.

TylerLieberman · 09-04-2012, 10:37 PM

Yeah but I don't care to convert. It'll just take up more room and require a higher offset. Or, if it's done the other way, it'll be too pricey.

Basically, I want something like these:

Or these:

MUST BE in 5x100. Preferably 16" diameter and at least 8" in width. Somebody has to know another company besides watanabe and volk that make these in the right sizes...

TylerLieberman · 09-04-2012, 10:57 PM

Right now, the only exact ones I have found are Volk TE37Vs in 16x8 +25 5x100. All 4 shipped from Japan was quoted to me for $2,486.33

Not to mention the wait to get them. Looking at up to 60 days but whatever. That's how it's been with every custom set of wheels I've ordered. Just really curious to see if there is a cheaper alternative. I can't find one, I might just bite the bullet.

DaJo · 09-04-2012, 10:59 PM

Haven't really looked into it much for you, but I used to have some Black Racing Watanabe replicas on my old AE86...

They're definitely cheap(er).

You know if they have a site or something? I had seen a picture of them before but could never find a place to possibly order them from.

DaJo · 09-04-2012, 11:33 PM

Yeah...Unfortunately they don't seem to have a website (that I know of...) and are SUPER hard to find.

I was fortunate enough to get them off another board member... so I can't really help you out there...

You can try craigslist or eBay.

I'll be sure to let you know if I stumble upon anything online.

Best of luck! :happy0180:
