The only way a set of Jap rims in the same size would come in at a comparable cost would be to put some cheap, nasty tyres on them. Sort of defeats the purpose of buying the good stuff in the first place.
Theres a lot to be said about people who buy quality rims and then wrap them in Nankangs or similar.
Yes i have a set of non Jap rims but they are wrapped in some descent rubber, when your forking out between $350 - $400 per tyre, a tyre and rim package can add up real quick as i'm sure most of you already know..............
Looks good mate, your car, your choice, thats the modifiers way.
