Mine all seem to tend towards the minilite kind of style... which is what I've actually ended up with on the car, only Compomotive so not Japanese at all. However, I can also offer Minilite style in Panasport G7 flavour; and in Watanabe flavour (soooooo floaty light, far and away the lightest aluminium wheels I've ever handled. Just too narrow, sadly); Oh, and I've also got three (how annoying is that!) Bridgestone Sharak-8 wheels which are seemingly pretty rare even for olde worlde Japanese rims;

Don't suppose these are available in 5 stud and 16 or 17"? Had a quick look about but seems 15s the biggest they go...

dugong what are those? Is the centre piece removable? Gonna need some long bolts if not. I love them though From what I can tell, they're Enkei D202s - 13 x 4.5" There's quite a bit of depth between the outer and inner faces jayom - the photos don't show it very well. but the bolt holes have splined steel inserts which have rotted. A decent machine shop will be able to take them out and tap some new ones in. I love those, would be great on a cube but i guess they're 4x114? Think again. Daihatsus have weird stud patterns; Mazda's rear wheel drive cars used a 4 x 110 stud pattern until the mid-'Eighties I think. Luckyseven will know. When the SA22C went, the FD3 went over to 5 x 114.3mm. Nowadays the only things that use 4 x 110 are those ATV things scallies use to round up sheep. Daihatsu went over to 4 x 100 on the G100 I think. As for 4 x 108 wheels, some Compomotive CXs fit on a friend's Cuore, but I wanted a set of wheels that was a: odd b: spot-on PCD-wise. Nightmare to get 4x110 PCD wheels - as said ATV wheels are good enough for small Daihatsu's.

I can play this game! 14x6 Rays Engineering Xray to one day be fitted to the MG. Never seen another set and trying to find out what they actually were was a nightmare!

Regarding the Shakotan or BM8, in The UK I could only find 8"s and 9"s, but I was able to find 7"s and 8"s as a package deal from the good old US of A for about £600 delivered to the UK including import tax. To my knowledge they're only available in a 15" option.

Oooooffff.... Love those... I've been drooling over atara racing wheels for a year or so... But need pennies ! I love the Watanabe style ones they do .. Pisang??? Or some funny name ! Take it there's no UK supplier ? Are you being shafted on import duty ?

Are you being shafted on import duty ? Yes, they do really great sizes in the Pissang range...15x9-ve13 and 15x10.5-ve 32 as those below Got a few sets of these on the way as well.. Sadly VAT and import taxes will be levied on the costs but that's life

Did some test fitting of the MK2s today. They fit! As in, the 13s fit over the front brakes. Might need some arch work...

I love how the definition of 'they fit' is that they technically bolt on, but there is no way that anyone with sanity would say that they were a good fit. Arches? They will look incredible, what are they on?
