I came across a set of these rims and it looks like they were made by
RS Watanabe. Although I have never heard of watanabe making rims
that look like these. I know for a fact that they did come from Japan and not Phillipines like rota.
The stickers all look genuine. Any clue?

 

they are indeed rs watanabe rs racing wheels. where are these wheels?... if you don't mind me asking

 

any idea what years they were made and how much they are worth?
I am not sure where they are at since a friend of mine sent me these pictures
but i can find out.
They look brand new even though maybe they were made in the 90's.

 

not sure probably mid to late 90's like you mentioned.. probably not worth as much on the resell market due to the pattern and offset. most 4x114 people are cheap.

 

they probably went for a lot when originally sold by Watanabe knowing how much they usually charge for their rims.
My friend's friend imported these himself years ago but never used them. I think he was asking for more than a grand for them. My friend is interested because they look high quality but just unsure of its watanabe origins.
and yea i agree most 114x4 folks are cheap. Probably partially because the cars that can use them are mostly over 10 years old. Thanks for your info.
