those look nice, man! Panasports? 2-piece?
check out www.tirerack.com for tires. i used to run Yokohama A509s on my SE rims before, but i know they have long since been discontinued as have the AVS Intermediates, but you can check to see if maybe the AVS Sport is available in 14" sizes ...

A great and affordable performance tire is the Falken Azenis Sports in 195/60R14, which can be had for $57 each, including shipping (!), from Discount Tire Direct. Super stiff sidewalls, great grip and -- suprisingly -- do okay in the wet. I've put ~2,500 miles on mine and can't say enough good stuff about them.

they'll fit the SE without spacers and i believe the offset is +13...these rims are really popular with the Toyota Corolla AE86 guys for autox...
can't my current stock tires fit these rims 205/60-14? I was told they are the same size...

Measure the diamtere of the center hole in millimeters, and I can order them for you here in japan. the center caps run around 30~40 bucks depending upon the tire shop I order from. I will get price quote first, and then email you a copy of it.

BTW the watanabe's are one of the lighter rims on the market, especially the the original racing series .
little history for all, the watanabe racing originally came as a 4 spoke model, then they came out with the watanabe 8 spoke then came the RS-8 which weighs the same as the original 8 spokes, but the rs-8 is 2 piece, and aluminum. the original 8 spoke was magnesium and one piece
