BenZed Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 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 Quote
BenZed Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 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. Quote
Ben Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 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). Quote
BenZed Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 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. Quote

BenZed Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 We now have Watanabe centre caps in stock for $70 a set. The Stainless 'collar' nuts are also in stock, $205 a set for silver or black (16 nuts). The old Watanabe wheel locks are no longer available. Cheers Quote
74zzz Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 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 Quote
BenZed Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 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. Quote
