OK, Got the Wats, A032Rs enroute. What center caps? Missed a set of Wat caps on eBay. Did I imagine someone posting about Nielex center caps? Does anyone have a source for Wat Caps? Thanks in advance.

If you want RS-Watanabe center caps you probably should order them with the wheels. Who did you order them thru?

http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/index2.htm - price & weight, then parts

Otherwise Nielex are available from Metro or R-Speed, but not cheap. Well, neither are the Watanabes.

chris-
i have enkei rpf1s on the car now, they don't come with center caps. i was concerned how it would look, but i painted teh hub centers flat black and used the orange anodized centering rings from my SSR type Cs and it looks good, no need to worry about losing expensive centercaps on the street or having some stupid fornicator stealing them.

i was concerned how it would look.

I actually dig the look without center caps.

I see the Watanabe center caps on eBay about once a month so next time they come up bid higher for them. Don't be a sucker - use a sniper.

Kung Fu Jesus is my sniper.

chris told me what he wanted to spend and that limit was exceeded before i had the chance to snipe it.

Sooo much better than C8s. Now to drop the car in the weeds, roll the fenders, get rid of the Petey black eye mod, and find some Vintage corner markers.

Thanks Rob =D>

Nice Watanabes!!!

Great color combo! The gungrey Watanabes and Silverstone is killer! The KG mirrors look great too!


I have an extra set of NOS Watanabe bullet caps in satin silver, however I need the size of the center hole on your Watanabes to confirm if they will fit. For some reason Watanabe makes wheels of the same mold in different center hole sizes........

Can PM me if interested

everyone around here thinks the black eye look is intentional/cool! :lol:

I'm gonna pick up a wooden baseball bat this afternoon and roll the front fenders...definitely rubbing around corners (hitting outside edge of tire--not inside on the sway bar) and I don't want to cut the new tires!

Looking good, Rob. I'm split on the black eye look. But then again I also waffle back and forth on the lazy eye look, one eye open look, nostalgic vs. racer look, etc.

just curious - why did you pic A032Rs?

Grip, grip and grip- in that order.
