Warnerk2, what offset are you running with those Rota Rb's on your blue wagon. The wheels look nice and I saw your car at Canby and noticed the wheels then.

 

Warner2k: Looks like they stick out more then the fender...do your tires rub on your fenders when you hit a big bump?

 

 

i cant seem to find the exact info on the offset but i believe it was 4mm

they are 15x7's

 

im too poor for panasports or custom offsets i went with what was available on ebay at the time.

 

they do stick out a bit in the front but dont hit the fender... yet.

i cheated and lowered the car about 1-2 inches with photoshop. :)

i havent actually installed adjustable my coilover setup yet. have the strut conversion in the works. project is on hold because im loosing my garage in the next few months.

The only ones I no longer own are the stockers, Enkei 80s and 13x7 Libres. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...I still have a set of 13x5.5 slot mags...

PCD, thanks. I really wanted a set of the six spokes or to move up to 15's but Datsun/Nissan RWD rims of any stripes are rare here in chebby pick-up truck country.

 

I dig the body color on your rims but my paint is so effing faded I could never dream of matching the color.

 

Besides, all real iron crosses are black :lol:.

worthless trivia that I picked up during my search for a fourth rim re: 1979 versus 1980 iron crosses.

 

1979 had real metal center caps that hold up great.

 

1980 had sucky plastic caps that don't age well and rims that were coated with a god awful clear coat that is a biotch to get off.

 

otherwise they are identical :).
