RS Watanabe wheels for old rotarys on Ebay
I have nothing to do with this auction, but I just saw this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38662
Looks like a nice deal, esp since they come with newish Perelli tires. Im hoping somone will use the buy it now feature before I give in to temptation becuase I think these wheels are really cool!
I need to spend my money on stuff that will actually get my car going!

D'oh - wrong side of the world.
That is the classic "minilite" style from the late sixties, early seventies. Pics of old jap touring car races have rx3 and rx2 coupes as well as ke20 corolla sprint levin's wearing this style.
A company here is Australia still makes a replica of this, its by "Performance" and is called the "Superlite" - I just bought a 1st gen with a set of 15x7 superlites. Unfortunately the 14 and 15" versions are fully gay coz they add extra lugs of the same length as on the 13" rim but make the centre hub a greater diameter. Their new 16" version is however MUCH nicer with 8 long spokes and a small centre hub.
Also their 13x7 version for old Mazda's had a really nice deep dish to it - looked great.
