Why choose between ex$pen$ive SSR wheels or even more ex$pen$ive RS Watanabe wheels when you can have BOTH at the same time?

These wheels come from a bygone era when SSR owned RS Watanabe - or the other way around. Don't ask me...I didn't even have my driver's license yet. How am I supposed to know? Geeze. What I do know is that 1) these wheels are not made anymore and 2) even if you are crazy enough to import a used set from Japan, you're not going to find a set in this offset. They were primarily made in Miata.net offsets.

These are 14x7" +12 offset. If those numbers don't mean much to you, maybe this will: stock fenders need not apply. You'll need a decent roll all the way around.

The wheels have been professionally refurbished by Wheels America in Dallas. The centers are powder coated bronze and the lips are polished. All new bolts hold these 3-piece wheels together. They also have brand new RS Watanabe valves.

As you can tell in the photo above, the tires are 195/60-14 Azenis RT-615's. They have loads and loads of tread left (see below). I've got a good alignment on the car and have maybe put 1,500 miles on them.

They do not come with center caps. Why not? Because I didn't receive them with center caps. Also, the center caps that came with these things were ugly. So, basically I'm doing you a favor.

How much do I want? Considering the heritage, rarity and panty-dropping mistique that these wheels carry: they'd be a steal at $arm+leg.95. But I'm a reasonable guy, so I'll take $2,000. That doesn't include shipping if you require it.

My dream wheels well close enough to panasport 3 pieces.

These are better looking than the Panasports, IMO. But to each his own :)

Great price for impossible to find wheels! What's next on the agenda Steve?

For now, OEM STO Edition wheels - the same wheels that actually came on the R2 Limited.
