Re: Watanabe and SSR Riverge reps 4x114
I understand not building the wats in smaller sizes/offsets due to the availibility of so many other look alikes in those size/offsets. I don't understand why you will not consider doing so for the Riverge since you are the only company building them at this time. An 14x8 in a -9 or less would open you up to alot more customers, including myself. If there is a Riverge copy out there in that approx size/offset please someone direct me to it!!

Re: Watanabe and SSR Riverge reps 4x114
Alright guys, I got my staggered set today. They look good. Only issue is the color. I originally went with gunmetal, but than settled for bronze. I was informed that the finish was different on the 15x10.5s due to being manufactured by a different manufacturer, so I expected that.
Matte finish 15x10.5 on the left, the 15x9 on right has gloss finish.
Slight differences in the wheels, the 15x10.5 have thinner spokes. The spokes are concave, so I would assume they could clear larger face brake calipers more easily.
The 15x9 have a bigger diameter axle hub hole than the 15x10.5. The center caps are different size and finish.
15x10.5 have a square lip edge, while the 15x9 have rounded edge, I prefer the rounded edges as I think they look a bit better.
15x9 tire valve location is between the spokes, 15x10.5 tire valve location is on the lip
Now that all doesn't really matter much since they are a stagger setup. Only thing is the paint. I may be painting them before I throw them on. I wish I knew what they where painted with so I could just match it without having to do too much prep work (in case of chemical reaction) I think the matte looks better than the gloss.

Hi! Im sorry we only have the gold insert finish. Some had asked before and they end up having a body shop paint it different color.
