I got a smoking deal on a used turn key set of RZ34 fitment Watanabe RS8 's.

Fronts: 19x9.5 +30, Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 265/40R19
Rears: 19x10.5+25, Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 295/35R19

Not completely sold on the silver. Looking to get them powder coated dark bronze or Gunmetal. I'm just gonna enjoy the new look for now.

They look sick. My favorite wheels on the Z for sure.

I agree powder coating them the Watanabe gunmetal color would make them look even better, especially with your build.

Great fitment, offsets, why not powdercoat them like the OG Watanabes, i.e. satin gunmetal, instead of gloss?

Thanks!

The current color (bright silver) choice was the original owner's. I love bronze, but I'm thinking gunmetal with these. Def going with a satin finish no matter what. This setup only has about 2K miles on it, so gonna burn the rubber down before committing to a refinish.

Gorgeous!! I wish I had three thumbs:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :crackup:Well done!

That said, either of the other colors would look very nice, too. Guess it depends on how much contrast you want...

Or have them gunmetal and polish the lips. This was mine, since sold the RB26 Z.
