Hello.
I'm a Japanese EuropaS owner who wrote in here at Piston Heads about 2 years ago asking for information on the EuropaS.
This is my EuropaS with Watanabe-wheels.
I'm glad if you remember me.

I would like to write to you about my plans to build a set of wheels for the EuropaS.

It is very difficult to buy PCD110-5H wheels in Japan, so I decided to have them custom made by Watanabe.
I found out about Team Dynamics Wheels through a group of EuropaS owners on Facebook.
But I don't know what a Team Dynamics wheel is.
Are they cast or forged?
What is the weight? What is the offset?
So many things I don't know.

One Japanese owner of a EuropaS is planning to build a wheel with the Japanese wheel brand TWS.
He envisages a 17" wheel with a 7J front and a 9J back.
The price will be around £2,000 for 4 wheels.

TWS is a brand of a company called Tan-ei-sya.
Do you know HethelWheel from ToyBox?
That is actually a wheel made by Tan-ei-sya and sold by ToyBox (OuterPlus).

The price is very high.
However, I think that it is possible to make a very lightweight wheel.
It is necessary to order in large quantities to order production directly to the factory.
It is necessary to order at least 20 wheels.(5 cars)
It is very, very expensive.

Personally, I think 15" front and 16" rear are good.
The smaller the wheel, the lighter it will be and the cheaper the tyres will be.

You don't need these expensive wheels.
Please let me know if you have any information about cheaper and better wheels.

Is anyone else interested in TWS wheels?

Thank you.´ω`)ノ
