Careless Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Every time I see a car like this with those wheels, I want them more and more just cause of how badass they look with the thick tires. It looks more "business". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palauoriginal Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 If these are Konig rewinds... why is there a Watanabe logo on the center caps? If there ARE rewinds, I'd be interested in seeing more of your specs (offset, etc) cause I'm looking to get a set of wheels to fill out some ZG flares. If they're Wats.... well then I guess that's just out of my price range... yep they are wats. but, i too would like to know offsets and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknc90 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Austin's car (the one with the wats) has been covered many times. Just search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddmanout84 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Austin's car (the one with the wats) has been covered many times. Just search. Yes, I know... I'm just wondering why he labeled them as Konigs in the picture. A joke or what? I am trying to help others avoid confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norstar Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Here are my Wheels: They are 17 x 7.5 with 1.25" spacers for zero offset. I suppose that makes them about +30 offset. A mystery wheel to me since they were already on the car from the P.O. Can someone identify them? I've seen seen a few of them rolling around on Hondas, but never on a Z. I want some 17 x 8.5" wide Rota RB's in hyper black!! What do you guys think? Ditch these in favor of the RB's? I like the wheel on the left!

240hoke Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 It was a Joke about the rewinds, when those wheels came out I was getting several Pm's a week asking how I liked my rewinds and other various questions. Kinda aggravating after going to the trouble to get real wat's...but no knock off's have quite got it yet, for me the RS8 is still the best wheel for the Z. THe Rota RbR's are great due to the fact that they are 17's but there is just something off, they just dont look old school But anyway, they are Watanabe RS8-R's 16x9 -13mm f and 16x9.5 -19 rear.

mull Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Wheels and tires mounted. Some specs would'nt hurt... Tires? I'll quote you on the rims; They're Centerline Big Sur's 17x9.5" with a 5" back space. They've jumped in price again since I've bought them. They are now also being called "Thrusters," if I had to buy wheels again I wouldn't buy them just because I can afford more/better wheels, but I'm happy with them now and going to use them. http://forums.hybridz.org/showpost.php?p=743882&postcount=46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfreer85 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Sorry mull I believe they are 255/45/17 rears and 250/45/17 fronts BFG's. Could be wrong I'm horrible with tire sizes. Wheels are Centerlines that have been powdercoated EAS Magic Black: 17x9.5 ++++++++EDIT++++++ tires are 275/40/17 Rear and 255/40/17 Front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal-s130 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Just bought some 15x10 -44. Still trying to think what tire I should stretch on there to fit under stock body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARiskyCvt Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Im not sure with the S130 body style but put some 215/55 or 50s should be fine. Maybe can even go 205/55. I would go with 205 though, should look really nice. any questions just PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 What size tires and rims are those?Cheers, They look great but would look better if they were put on in the right L & R order. They are mixed in this pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see what you are saying. They seem intalled correctly in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I do not see what you are saying. They seem intalled correctly in the picture. The front and rear wheel centers are facing in opposite directions. The wheels are directional, so the rear wheels appear to be switched.

Careless Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I do not see what you are saying. They seem intalled correctly in the picture. one wheel has the blades going forward. one wheel has the blades going backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Agreed. If only 16" street tires weren't so hard to come by now. They are? I didn't know. never shopped for tires really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
