OK so you may be aware I am considering selling my rims, I just need to know if it's going to be worthwhile, plus I need to know a couple of places where I can actually sell them!

They're 2 piece watanabe RS-8s (look exactly like tharakas, but they're a lighter grey), 16 x 7.5 (I reckon) +12 offset. 4x114.3 PCD. Freshly reco'd, they are perfect, with a polished chrome rim, no rust, no blemishes or scratches. I can't think of any flaw in them off the top of my head, but obviously I will look.

Also, they are shod with 205 Falken Azenis RT215's, which have 98% tread (couple of them have the little new tyre nubs on them still).

I've applied for membership on the AE86 driving club, and so on, but I don't really know who would be interested in them, or what they're worth. I know the tyres are 800 dollars worth new, so that should add, what, 400 to the price of the rims?
 
Its pretty hit and miss when it comes to wheels, in the end, you'll only get as much as what someone is prepared to pay!


Those wheels would look phat on a cyborg or a VR4 though!

thats a pretty good offset for watanabes

i reckon you'll be able to sell them to someone with an 86 easily
 
I'll put them on next monday and take proper pics, you'll see why they don't fit. I'll set the negative camber in as much as possible too.

hellaflush? :lol:

You can probably fit more width with a lower offset...
mine are 17x8 + 35 and i thought that would stick out at the front
lol

7.5 + 12 would stick out almost 2cm more
