As the title states, Vintage JDM Watanabe F8F 15x6.5, 4x114.3, 35mm offset. These wheels retail at $500 a piece without centercap, tires were in the neighborhood of $125 with install, iirc.
Fits Nissan, Toyota, Datsun, some Honda's, all 4x114.3 (4x4.5") lug patterns.
Freshly powder-coated in satin black (some gloss, but not gaudy), with Yokohama S-Drive 195/45 tires. Tires have approximately 1,000 miles on them but the Watanabe wheels have not been driven on since re-finishing at Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara (cost $500 for strip and powdercoat). Wheels are a little dusty with sawdust.
I was saving these in the garage for auto-cross/trackdays (tires work quite well on a lighter car, and despite the low profile, the sidewalls absorb a bit of impact - nearest I can describe it to is the difference between a Pirelli vs a Dunlop or Michelin for bump compliance).
Will come with authentic centercaps (never installed) that I purchased from Watanabe Racing Sevices in Japan for $135.
This is the classic, old-school 8 spoke wheel from which all the other versions spawned (like Panasports, and the similar but cheaper replica Rotas/XXR's). These are so completely O.G. that they're featured on cars in GT5 and Forza.
PM or email, would prefer to sell these to a fellow barfer and not on CL.
Price: $1,000
