Looks like I am going to end up going with 5 lug setup on my Corona Mark II but am having trouble finding any 5 Lug wheels that I like. Would love to see what classic style options I have. I have seen some 5 Lug Watanabe wheels but can't seem to find any for sale anywhere. 5 X 114.3 lug pattern. Thanks ahead of time for any help

A ton of the old school wheels came in 5x114.3. Probably just need to watch YJA like a hawk. :mrgreen:

Thanks, I didn't even think about looking for some of those. Use to spend a lot of time on YAJ when I was in Japan but since I have gotten away from it due to the horrible exchange rate. Guess I will have to get back on there. Thanks again for the examples.

You didn't list a diameter. Those are just the 14" wheels from page 1 of the search. :tu:

So you're not in Japan any more?

Looks like someone already did. :wink:

Good luck on the wheel hunt. :tu:

And since you're back in the states, you might also investigate vintage Mustang wheels? Same bolt pattern and similar fitment, so...

What about something "muscle car"-ish? :P

Torq-Thrust IIs with BFG Radial T/As are a killer combo and look good on literally everything, although I'd understand wanting to stay Japanese.

FWIW, it's a very popular combo in Japan. :mrgreen:

I just use Google Chrome. It will ask you if you want to translate foreign pages...


Also, John you said those rims looked like Work Ewings; those are SSR Star Fives actually.
