I saw these wheels a long time ago, but I couldn't put them on my 1992 CX hatch because they're 13'' only plus I don't think an older-school wheel like the Panasport looks correct on the newer 1992-up cars.

Now that I have a 1990 hatch I'm thinking of getting the Rota knock-offs of the Panasports.

Anyone got a good pic of them? Anyone here own some?

Only pic I've seen is here:

http://www.rotawheels.com/our_wheels.htm

Third row down, all the way to the right.

Also they have a "Retro" wheel too. First wheel on the left on the fourth row. Those look pretty slck too.

I love the look of the PanaSports on the EF/ED, but I simply will not spend PanaSport money on them.

Any better pics would be greatly appreciated.

 

ask rexman he has panasports and someone else has em in red rexmans are black...i like em also

 

also they r 13x 8 man good god

 

13x8 though
sounds like an autocross wheel to me

13 really isnt any fun on the street handling wise either.

the retro's look ok. kinda retro
give em a shot. you'll be one of the first to have em

 

Here's a better pic:



They would probably look absolutely killer on the EF/ED body style.

 

Here's a better picture of the retro:



Looks kind of like aloose knock-off of the old school Mugen wheel that looks like an amplifyer.

 

yeh it does i may get it any price?

 

It would look badass on a 3G Civic but for for 4G I will pass.

 

Aren't those absolutely bad-*** looking?

Holy crap!

And I'll bet that they are cheap as hell considering that their 15'' wheels go for like $400.00 a set shipped.

 

i may get the retro if i cant get the real nr10s for my 86 si

 

jesus h-crackers... i was gonna buy a set of the retros this week.. but now i can't.. i thought no one else would have them.. you guys suck...


btw, you can't fit the fake panasports.. they are a 13x8 with a +5 offset.. they are made for AE86 corollas.... sorry.

btw, i have black racings, not panasports.

Sorry Rexman

What kind of sizes and prices were you getting, and where were you going to get them from?

I'm assuming they only come in silver, right?

I sell Rotas at my shop here in GA, so I was going to call our distributor about the Retros.

i hope they at least have 14x6. I already have 14'' steelies on my 1990 so I don't want to downsize to 13'' wheels.

I also wonder about the weight of them since the Slips, Sub Zeros, and C8 wheels are all light weight.

 

ae86s are cool...always wanted one...way before i had my crx too...never could find a good one...

i dont like the rota knock offs...they for some reason dont look right to me

but i do like the PanaSports on a corrolla

 

If you really wanted to get technical and "correct" then you'd run Watanabe Wheels rather than the Euro-PanaSports.



Watanabes are bad-*** looking

 

my black racings are really bad-*** looking.. i'll get a pic..

but as for the rota's, they are only available in 15x6.5, 4x100/4x114.3 with a +38 offset...

dunno about the price. but if you can get a set, lemme know.. i want one.. i may have to give up my 14x6 mugen CF-48's, if i get my new brake kit, so i need something for racing...

 

Wait, the Rota Retro is only in 15x6.5?

That's really wierd.



That means they'll probably be the same price as the Slipstream, Circuit 8, and Sub Zero.

Anyways, do you have a pic of the real Mugen wheel that the Rota is knocking off?

I don't think it's the ones that look like aimplifyers though...I know I've seen the real ones somewhere!

 

im trying to find some one who has Retro's. Going to Coat Inside black and leave lip polished! That will look pretty sweet.

 

I was thinking of coating the inside part with that Duplicolor Gunmteal paint while leaving the lip polished too.

Great minds think alike?

 

Do you guys know where could i get a BBR rims?

 

How about this: Gunmetal Panasport?

 

Those are probably Watanabe wheels, not PanaSports.

They look identical from that distance, but the Watanabes were much more popular with the Japanese tuners than the PanaSport wheels.

 

my friend said that yesterday, yeah ill probobley do the Dupli color Graphite thing too.

 

What's your opinion about BBR rims? I saw a black ef with this kind of wheels and it's very nice....

 

i have a set of black racing BBR's.. they are nice..

 

you got pics?
