Does anyone know of a place in Ontario or even Canada that sells Panasport wheels? I'm probably going to get a set of these made for my Rx-4 once I do the suspension/brake swap. They will have to be custom ordered so I'd like to get on this sooner rather than later.

 

um wow dood, thats going to be a lot of coin if im thinking of the old skool panasports you want....those are rare and i dont think you can get made....rota and konig make good replicas of those panasports...

Try this, found it on the casc forum:

goodluck!

 

I found that post on the CASC forum too. As far as I know they still make Panasports, you just have to find a dealer and order them. Mazdatrix sells them for a decent price, but I want a special size/bolt pattern/ colour combo so I was going to order them.

I'd much rather find a dealer though here in Canada and save myself the hassle of shipping them and whatnot.

 

As far as I know there aren't many dealers, but you can custom order them through Panasport. I called a couple years ago and they aren't overly high priced. About two hundred US or so per wheel. However I'm going with Rota RB's 15X9 0 offset. Calling in a week or so to order. www.18racing.com. Shipping included in the price. They'll be about half the price of Pana's. Can't say what the weight will be but I doubt it's more than a pound or two more if that.

 

That place has some wicked looking wheels! Now I'm considering going with a totally different style altogether......

 

Looking at those Rota wheels I found these. I think they'd look pretty badass on the Rx-4....
Thinking black or gunmetal center....

Buggy,Try J_man1100..,he had some wheels on his Rx3..mad wide.

 

I have a set of 13x7 original minilites. The magnesium ones. Look great on the car. They were originally off an RX4 according to the previous owner. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

 

I'm wanting to get away from 13" and with my brake conversion plans I'll be running the FC 5 bolt pattern. That is the whole reason for buying the rims.

 

I agree completely. They are on my 808. The RX3 I'm looking at the re-speed kits for FC brakes. Just not exactly sure how to make it work. I want 15x8 on the 3.

 

Swap in the GSL-SE front struts with the Re-Speed camber plates. I think you can even swap the SE rear axle into the Rx-3 too.

the konig rewinds that is on my bros car looks good too when painted .

 

The konig rewinds are a nice wheel too, very similar style to the panasport. I really have to figure out the fitment though first before I start shopping. Finding the right combination of size, offset, and bolt pattern I think is going to be tough for this car.... I'm thinking I'm going to have to put the whole thing together first, take measurements and then order the wheels. There's alot of variables involved with my swap.
