Laecaon Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Probably panasports or konigs. Can't quite tell by the teaser pic Lol konigs being 3 piece... They are panasports I am pretty sure. Panasports bolt under, Wats bolt on top of the wheel. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 lol none of the above! They're Black Racings, kind of a mix of the Wats and Panas, with the spoke design of Wats, but the sandwich-mounting like the Panas. I still dig them, and still fairly light even as 12s. I'm torn between 245/35s and 225/40s on these, assuming I ever get tires for them haha Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I didn't think of this till a second ago but have you ever dropped your keys underneath that thing with it sitting that low? Quote Link to comment

LOL never fucking taking the spoiler off, it's not even a fucking option haha all the shit I went/am going through with my suspension is pretty specific to me, since I'm trying to somewhat competitively drift it (if I qualify for an event I'd be more than happy lmao) and I want it to handle well at my desired ride height. HOWEVER I still know the ins-and-outs of the suspension in these dumb cars and I can steer you in the right direction. thanks for all the other kind words guys! BTW, see you all at JCCS in a couple days!! Quote Link to comment

Hopefully you can point me in the right direction. I am wanting my car lower but not as low as your because that just aint going to happen in Alabama and not hang on everything. After I get home around the 16th I will send you am PM and get some more info on what to use and what not to use. Thanks ahead of time Quote Link to comment

I still dig them, and still fairly light even as 12s. Bashes everyone for replica wheels and then buys replica wheels, mindfucked lmao. Im guessin you used your centerline barrels and just used the center piece from black racing? 2 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 What are they replicas of? Idk any other wheel that uses wats style spokes with a 3 piece design like the BR-R. I like the way they look and have been searching for a local set for a while. Sadly in my area most wheels are in a queer offset. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 What are they replicas of? Idk any other wheel that uses wats style spokes with a 3 piece design like the BR-R. Pretty sure their 3pc Watanabe RS8 replicas Sadly in my area most wheels are in a queer offset. Broseph, I know that feel bro. Quote Link to comment
Stupid_fast Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Pretty sure their 3pc Watanabe RS8 replicas ^They are Watanabe replicas, so are my konigs. Who cares? Not everyone can afford $3000 for a set of rims. 1 Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 They are your right. Its tough to find even knock offs lol. I live in honda land fwd nonsense as far as the eye can seeeeeee Quote Link to comment

You obviously didn't read my post guy...".HE WAS BASHING EVERYONE FOR FAKE WHEELS, THEN BUYS FAKE WHEELS" I was just calling it as I see it, so your statement applies to him lulz. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stupid_fast Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 @Alex Datsun, I didn't mean it in that way. . .I did understand what you where saying in your post. Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 lol I bought these for $200, got rid of the XXRs I hated for $100, so I bought these for $100. technically, all wheels of this style are replicas of something, nothing is an original design, so fuck it (BTW, not Wat reps, spoke design is completely different, and is sandwich mounted, unlike the Wats. If anything they're Pana reps, which are what Watanabe replicated). They're made in Japan, good enough for me. not like I want to honestly rock these wheels for any serious length of time anyways. also, I don't own Centerlines Quote Link to comment
