Wanted Watanabes ended up with Panasports Pics!
I was on the hunt for wats, but came up on a fairly clean set of oldschool prorally panasports. I will be refinishing them soon. My car is in desperate need of a lip!! Will get one as soon as i have time. Enjoy!

Re: (MasterShake)
Yeah, the cheap 60 series rubber is like truck tire status! the rims are 14x6. I am looking for 185/55/14 or 195/55/14's rare, but wont look as ridiculous. I might end up with 195/60/14 azenis or avs es100's. Thanks for the props!
Oh yeah, she's on spw coilovers with tokico Hp's

Yeah, I really want a set of panasports in silver or gold for my car as some daily beater wheels. They look small, but good light and sturdy wheels to be sure.

Re: Wanted Watanabes ended up with Panasports Pics! (EFOSV.)
I always loved Panas and Watanabe's on EF chassis.
I had a set of ultra lights (track only) in 15x7 0 offset on a track prepped 80 Celica. Before I dropped coin on a new set of Panas, I found out *gasp* rota was releasing the RB (Pana copy) in 15x7 30offset.
Picked them up for way cheaper, and after some research, found out the RB copy is actually lighter than the street pana by at least i think 4lbs?
here's how it came out -
