Proper Watanabes (or whatever the brand is)? Or the others that look just the same.
Doesn't matter... just I got some for my first '5 & they were great... I seem to remember the knockoffs to be going for about the same price you bought the whole car for... so good buy
Still miss my '5 sometimes...

They are Rota RKR's. The wheels didn't come with it though. Had them first.

Ahh ok, they look very similar to the Watanabe style... name rang a bell when I saw them... but obvs not what I thought.

Yes, a Mazda roadster will make an excellent tribute to a Toyota hatchback
Quite! Stupid idea. I love Initial D too, why not make it look like the MX-5 in Initial D?

Still sounds better than a panda knock off.

All I can think about with this talk of initial d tributes is tenacious d and tribute...man it's a good song. Not the greatest song in the world though.
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it! is what Acme should say

Initial D tofu car was all about the handling, made abundantly clear throughout by referencing the amount of time taken to set it up correctly and by it dismantling much more powerful cars. I don't think a car that you're going out of the way to detrimentally impact the handling of is a fitting 'tribute' - even if we ignore the fact its the wrong car to start with. Incidentally I have no problems with you modifying your car as you want, my problem here is that you're calling it a tribute

Well it's not a replica so I thought tribute would be a better word. MX5 knockoff edition?

stick some toyota badges on the back and front for extra points

The mx5 from initial d would be a better fitting tribute. For starters, it's the right colour. You'd probably get more "respect" in the "scene."
