Here is the new Watanabe website for Australia (just made it so it will get a lot of updates in the near future)
www.watanabe.com.au

[BenZed]

Our first shipment of new Watanabe wheels is leaving Japan in two weeks (Jan 19th). If anybody needs a special order please let me know as soon as possible.

[Ben]

Are you going to stock parts too (e.g. normal and locking nuts, centrecaps, T-shirts)?
Their 2-piece SS nuts are a nice item (I have them and the mag-locks on my DR).

[BenZed]

Yes we will stock the wheel nuts and caps, probably some merchandise too. Lock nuts are not available right now as they are releasing a new design later this year.

Hey Ben

Mate am looking into these rims......So tempted to cut the metal and put flares on but just don't know if I can do it-- Just wondering what u have on yours and if you can fit 8.5 16 inch with just guard rolling? want as much rubber as i can without slicing her up.

cheers

Lawrence

My car has F8 16x8 +0 front and 16x8.5 +5 rear. They fit without cutting the guards, just rolling at the rear. Unfortunately the 16x8 +0 is a special-order offset so it adds $60 per wheel.
If you don't have big front calipers you could run the R type 16x8 +0 front and rear instead. The R-type 16x8.5 -6 is a bit too wide even with guard rolling, unless you run an undersize tyre.
