I was just about to make a thread just like this one! Only sites I've found so far are yahooauctions japan and upgarage. There are more, but these are the only 'good' ones that I've found so far.

Much better to buy wheels directly from Japan than go through traders.

yeah i knew those website.. but u have to read Jap to be useful on the web! also, they wont ship international

.. u need someone who live there to buy wheels for u and ship them here..

one of the traders on the forums (MrZac) offers this service. You buy from jap auction, he organises shipping.

Not being able to read Japanese isn't a huge problem. Just use google's language tools. About not being able to ship overseas, there are people who live in Japan and will pack and send part over with some commission of course. Contact streeter on NS.com.

In my opinion as a wheelwhore ...best place to shop is to try and buy 2nd hand locally...next best bet is to go thru a trader even though it costs a little extra, you get the peace of mind that all customs, duties and freight is calculated for you and you only pay the price quoted by the trader...no additional surprises..

If you buy direct from Japan you will need to either have a good mate over there to package everything and send it over..then wait for customs to sting you for the extra...that said, your freight options are limited to container (if you can find one) or EMS (Bloody expensive)

I've bought half a dozen sets from traders...the only downside is the 6-8 week wait. Fun part is shopping on yahoo auctions...find exactly what you want, get the trader to quote and bid for you...pay the $$ and wait.

If you want a reputable trader for wheels, contact mxfly on ns.com.

Also to have a rough idea of how much a pair of wheels will cost to your door, just double the price that the wheels get sold for on the site. For example, if you bought the wheels for 15,000yen, it would roughly cost 30,000yen all up to get to your door. Only a rough estimate though. It'll roughly take about 9 weeks for the wheels to arrive as well.
