i know its ricey and whatever, but i think it keeps the car old school ish and still sporty

here a pic of (pretty much exactly) what it would look like:

 

so do it.

 

Ricey? Watanabes? I don't think that at all. I would think that putting the usual knockoff Konig clones or cheap rims out of an ad from Super Street would warrant that, but not Watanabes.

 

I almost opted for RS Watanabes....Check www.takumiproject.com . They should have a few sets...

 

word broah. i love that old school look.
since i have the white series 5 FC, i plan to get some black wantanabes. lol
at least im not alone with this look.

heres the look im trying to go for. gotta get the turbo II side skirts and lip tho since i got the GTU. got it from the same site as your pic. lol

So i take it you don't like the polished wheels with big lips

Whats stopping you?

 

What up sucka!

What's goin on this evening?? Call me up later, meng...

 

I want RS watanabes on my white FC to. I just don't have the money, if I had a TII I would probably shell out the cash for them. That black TII with bronze watanabes is cleeean. That would be my dream FC

 

yo littlecon, whenever you get your watanabes,
tell me where you got them.
cuz the only place i know where to get some is from www.takumiproject.com

there's also this place in gardena http://www.rrr-game.com/
my homie got his wantanabes from there,
but there's nothing on the site.
he says there's a grip of more stuff over there if you actually go there.
haven't had the time to go there yet.

but yea, i plan to buy my homie's 16 inch Watanabe F8F’s.
i have to buy a new one or pair, because only 3 of 4 are good.
the last one's messed up, from an accident,
and i don't wanna be rollin down the street with 3 watanabes. lol

aite, good luck with your guys' search for watanabes.
and post a pic of your car with them on,
whenever the day comes. xP

im waiting for mine to get them, complete with the turbo II lip and skirts.

 

Do you know the offset on the rims in the pic?

 

been there, done that...



Now, for old skool, she's rolling around on Panasports now..

 

yea, panasports are not too bad. same kind of thing. i guess if you want that pride with jap made stuff, i guess you could go with watanabes. found some panasports at mazdatrix.com for around $200. wished they had some in all black. or maybe they do?

 

Hey, jaiyurai, or anyone else, what kind of rear bumper is that on the first pic?

 

Wait a minute... This sounds familiar...

that looks clean !

 

hey thanks for the help man, im still trying to save up a little more (i've got some big plans in the near future). But i'll check out those sites

Edit:
One more thing, what offsets should i be looking for? I know i want 16'' but thats about it...

'88 GXL (FC3S) (5-bolt)

 

that red s4 is SEXY w/ those wats and the lip.
hardcore oldschool jdm sexiness

 

i like the rain guards on the windows too, i wonder where i can get those

 

well, since you wanted 16", my friend once had them.
16 inch Watanabe F8F’s: (REAR: 16 x 9.5 + 38offset) (Front: 16x8 + 35 offset)
here's a pic of it before it died.
planning to get his watanabes from his S4
gotta buy another one tho, cuz one got messed up when his car got totalled. xP

 

those sizes were comfortable in the wells? (im a noob when it comes to wheel sizing)

 

My friend just got his jacked when we left it un-attended for about two hours in a somewhat busy parking lot. I'm not gonna waste my money on something that is so easy to take from the outside. I remember someone on teamfc3s.org was selling a few he got in Japan some time back, kind of pricey but they were Mazda OEM.

 

noob? haha
what are the wells? i don't even know dude.
so don't feel bad, im in the same boat.
do you just mean space around the wheel ?

 

well i just mean, did they clear everything, no rubbing, no spacers needed?

 

can't really remember what my friend said,
but im assuming that he needed them.
I somewhat recall him telling me that i need some...
not sure tho.
leaning more on the side that you need them though.

 

fitment can be fixed with offset
