FS: WATANABE R type 16x8 & 16x8.5 , 4x114.3pcd w/tyres

[sydney mike]

 

I have for sale a staggered set of Watanabe R type wheels, silver centre with polished lip. They were bought new from Otomoto and the tyres have travelled less than 2000kms on public roads (no track days). Please note that the 16x8.5's have been modified. Tyres are 4 x 205/55/16 Pirelli P7.

 

Wheel nuts not included. Centre caps not included (I never bought them).

 

This wheel + tyre combo will not scrub on stock 260z 2 seater unmodified guards, no coilovers. They probably won't on 240z or 260z 2+2 either but I can't be sure.

 

Front wheels: 16x8 zero offset, no mods, both in excellent condition no gutter rash.

 

Rear wheels: 16x8.5 +1 offset. These wheels were originally -6 offset but I had them modified to avoid the need to cut/lip my rear guards. The wheels were machined 7mm off the mounting face and steel inserts were fitted for strength. The work was done professionally by Neales wheels, who said they regularly do this to race cars so there shouldn't be any problems with a street princess like my Zed, and the fact that the watanabe is a quality wheel to start with. I guess you can use spacers if you need/want the -6 again.

 

One of the rear wheels have gutter rash-see below, otherwise no other issues:

 

 

The other rear wheel has no gutter rash but has marks from the tyre fitting. I did not notice until way down the track. I imagine if you fitted a proper size tyre, it would probably hide it. It's not really noticeable but needed to be mentioned:

I think I have covered just about everything but any further queries please PM me and I will post details here if the info would be useful to other prospective buyers.

 

Please be mindful that this is a "for sale" thread and not a discussion thread.

I can deliver to E-go depot for freight. If you are interstate I can hold them until next time you're in Sydney.

cheers, Mike.
