14x6.5 Watanabe RS-8 2pc splits
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 12:05 am
Much though I love my Watanabes, I had the opportunity to pick up a set of Revolution RFX wheels so I've decided to sell them.
Spec on these is as follows:
Watanabe RS-8 split rims (two-piece)
14x6.5in - quite hard to find wheels in this size, and ideal for a pre-94 Polo
4x100PCD, and will come with spigot rings for VW centre bore (57.1mm)
ET35
5.1kg per corner (no tyres) so really light
They had a refurb before I bought them, and have only been fitted to my car since. I've only done about 2,000 miles on these, so they're still mint. The centres are gloss black, and the lips are silver (not polished). All of the bolts are fresh, but there are no centre caps. I'm led to believe centre caps were an option on Watanabes because they're basically track wheels - most of them don't seem to have caps anyway.
Here's what the finish looks like up close:
The only bad bit is one wheel has a small (couple of inches) flat spot where the last owner dropped it (onto carpet) while they were being stored. It's just the very lip of the wheel so barely noticeable with tyres on, and doesn't leak air or make any rumbling noise.
It's the wheel in the third image below.

PRICE
After £250 for these but I am open to offers. Try me.
Wheels are located in Kettering, but I go home to visit my family in Cardiff fairly regularly so can meet there. Also happy to meet near St Albans after work during the week.
PM or mail me (spearmintcoupe at aol dot com) if you're interested.
