Watanabe Wheels

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

I was wondering if anyone here knows of any Australian suppliers of these wheels?? I need to buy a set but if I cant get them in australia I need someone to decipher the differences between all the models and their offset system. I want a set of 15 or 16 inch tall rims with 8.5 fronts and the biggest they make for the back whick I think is 9 or 9,5. I need to make sure both front and rear have maximum dish.

Can anybody help or point me in the direction of help.

Thanks it is much appreciated.

Daniel I can't help with an Aust supplier but they come up from time to time on jap auctions, try Slidewize as they have a link on their page.

Damn nice looking wheel if they were around in 17x9 they'd be on my car.

Cheers

panasport dont go wide enough, and when I emailed watanabe their response is sorry our engrish is poor can you maybe translate to basic japanese. Thats getting beyond me a little so untill I am desperate I would rather try to find someone who has been down this path already that can maybe help me out???

after heaps of searching I have not found any australian supplier of these wheels. Looks like I will be doing my old trick of hiring a interpreture and hopefully buying direct from the company, this has worked in the past but it has also backfired with one company rejecting selling to a private person not a supplier!!!
