Watanabe Rims
 
I was thinking about putting some Watanabe R-Type rims on my 1973 240z. I was wondering if you guys had any experience with the rims to the type of car? I was thinking maybe 16x9.0. Does anyone know what the offset will be and how it might look like? Will it be necessary to put in some fender flares to compensate the offset? I'm sure someone out here's got some sweet photos of their Z with these type of rims..

Here a link to the ones I'm looking at:

Those reminded me of Panasports....

Panasport, Minilite, Watanabe... always a good choice.
