Been under my bed since my Wedding/Honeymoon
as my prized possession and dream catchers :)
but might need the money for the Ninja headed
CA project Im attempting so here goes....

Immaculately straight, no damage or rash
Watanabe Magnesium B series wheels with very
hard to get "18" offset 14 x 6.5 inch width
Looking at 900aud you can get the other more
FWD offsets cheaper but these are perfect.

They where hand picked in Okinawa from many
sets at different workshops and trial fitted
to a 1200 coupe and 1000 sedan with a look that
is hard to attain with other offsets.
Im a picky fussy bitch so the headaches my wife
suffered where part of the deal :) she was also
the pick of the Island so sharing the bed with
these beauties had to come to an end.

Can be polished up and repainted but was planning
on a Brittish Racing Green with two tone gold 70s
BRE styled livery matching Gold vynil seats in a
black interior and these jewels to complete it.

$900 is good price for magnesium rims- but to use those on our "quality" potholed roads would be a crime! As per your story D it could be testament to causing harm to your wife!

And I thought I had all the cook stuff under my bed for a time there.

Dont do it. hybrid concept engine build thoughts come and go. Hand pricked Magnesium Wats are hard to replace. Find something else from under your bed to sell to generate the revenue.

How do you know they're Mag? It has a nice bright finish. Is there a symbol that they cast for magnesium wheels?

When I got to Sydney Airport I had a Lebanese checking them out and said "man you should have got 20 inchers bro" I said yeah but each one weighs 20 kilos while these gave me weight to spare hence the twin plate clutch combo on the side.

The only weird contraption is between....
my ears, it doesnt stay locked away though :)

Another point worth noting with high Magnesium content based wheels is that the wheels become brittle and fatigue with age. It may pay to have them checked out before using them. Watanabe's by design are a very strong construction and were made to better than most quality control conditions. I cant imagine you will have any problems. They would have to be one of the lightest wheels available for there time. TRD Tosco's would be another must have wheel as well. I really want a set of Tosco's for my track car. 13x7 and 13x8.

Im not sure about the content of Magnesium because I cant find the bloody "M" but they are lighter than all the 14s and 13s Ive owned and more like a "12" so could be part Mag. and are in excellent condition and guaranteed by the Okinawan tuning house I got the from till they went under the bed :)
