RS Watanabe RBF 1460 - 14x6 ET +38 - 4x100
Not exactly convinced but as my other set isn't drawing much interest, I thought I'd see if these do.
Dark brown, very similar to the magnesium factory colour, although these are not magnesium. Still very light wheels. Genuine, made in japan in 1995.
I went from a set of heavier wheels and NS2R tyres to these and it completely changed the car, making it feel quicker and easier to control, given the slight "warning" roll you get, having tyres with softer sidewalls.
I think there are actually no signs of curbing on the wheels, they are in generally good condition, apart from very small marks if you're picky, on the inner part of some of the spokes mostly, when the wheels were being bolted on. I will send close ups if anyone is genuinely interested.
Please find pictures of them fitted in the link below, so that you have an idea of the fitment, which is not as ridiculous as standard (std wheels have a +45 offset I believe). The same wheels, with more sought after specs (say 14x6.5 et20 ish) can reach prices around £600, although they don't come up often so I believe these are fairly priced. They come with good 185/60/R14 tyres: 2x Goodyear EfficientGrip and 2x Firestone Multihawk. All have about 4mm of tread left.
