Hey guys,

I know we have some 4X100 wheel experts here. I am looking at a Miata tomorrow and am trying to figure out what these are if anyone has input. I'll have better pics tomorrow. Don't know size yet. They look wide btw, probably 9" or so.
Thanks for any help!

Could be a variety of wheels. Original designs were of Watanabe RS and Panasport wheels. That lip design is more of the Watanabe. If they're genuine/real Watanabe or Panasport, and they're "cheap," snag them.

More likely they are Rota RKR, which are cheap. I'm not hating on Rota, btw, I've had a set of Rota Grid before. lol

Yes, looks like a Watanabe wheel... even the centre cap. Perhaps a replica.

Thanks for the helpful input guys. Muchly appreciated!

Had a look at the car, replicas for sure but don't recognize the logo. I was hoping they would be something decent as someone has sunk decent money in this car ($10k+ motor swap). It's from an auction so I don't want to gamble more than I can sell the parts for in case the powertrain is junk. :biggrin:

Cheers.

Japan Racing Wheels. Looks like another cheap(er) brand.

Also, they will have massive amount of poke on a Yaris since the offsets are +0 and -13 for the 9j wheels. LOL

Massive amount of poke on the Miata too.... it has wide fender flares on it. :D
