Hakosuka update: Wheels, man!

By Eric

Well, it took a little longer than I had hoped but I will say they were definitely worth the wait.  I stopped by my paint guy’s place this morning on the way into work  in the uhhh…..   “shop delivery car” to pick up those Watanabes I have been restoring.   You would be surprised how much I can actually fit in this little clown car :)

I took a couple of pictures outside so you could hopefully get a better idea of how they actually look.

Up close….   so fresh and so clean, if I didn’t let you in on my little secrets I could most definitely pass these off as a brand new set.

Just need some rubber stuff to put around them…..  it’s getting close now, can’t wait!!

A few things to wrap up and we’ll be on the road……

minty clean!

Ha! Thanks man. I actually just went down to my paint guy’s shop and we matched the paint to a set of bronze Works that I had on my Lexus since I really love the the bronze Work uses on their wheels and I didn’t have access to some bronze Watanabes. If I recall there’s several shades of bronze offered on the Wats from the factory. The color we went with is Diamont paint #795457…….. make sure the clear is done in a satin finish as well.

Right on thanks Eric!
