Looking for: Watanabe RS Wheel info

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to find some Watanabe RS wheels for my 911sc

I've emailed Watanabe about sizing and making porsche PCD, but I have yet to get a reply. Does anyone have a set and any details on production?

Thanks

Hi Rywats.

I’ve ordered 17x 8.5 and 9.5 through motive japan.
Can be up to 6mths turnaround.
Have 15-17in sizes.

Hope that helps.

watanabe's are excellent wheels. they are offered in alloy or mg. mg are $$$$ you can custom order any offset to fit within reason. a buddy order a set with bespoke offset for his alfa gtv. I recall it took him months for them to arrive.

a great alternative to minilites on the rears of ST's and 914s with flares.

Gorgeous wheels, both the watanabes and the rotiforms.

But you do know that they aren't fuchs, right? Can you put other wheels on a 911? I mean, legally?
