I got my stock 17s if you need to borrow a set for a while. Kinda just taking up space in the garage

Thanks for the offer but I've got a set of 17 inch stockers on there as of tonight. I changed 4 rims in 35 degree heat in under an hour using the scissor jack.......it was rough.

Ill be on the 17s for about 8 weeks while import monster brings my replacement rims in ;-)

Hey Yun -

about 3 hours after I picked up the stockies from you I won a set on Yahoo Japan that I had been keeping my eye on.

They are SSR SP3 20x9(+6), 20x10(+16).

Cheers, yes through Aaron at import monster.

The jist of it is, register an account, search using their English translated interface with yahoo.jp, if you find something you like you transfer min 50% expected sale proce as a deposit into your own account and bid away. If you win, you must transfer the remaining amount into the account. Import monster pays the seller - and you sit back and what for your items to arrive.

Aaron is very helpful and although I've only bought small stuff before, he has always been very patient and quick with answering all my questions.

The hardest part is finding what you want - the options are endless!

NIce find and Tyres is nice too :) Looks like it's the Nitto brand.

Just noticed. Is the front will fit and clear brembo? the one you had before is 19x 9.5 +22 and the SSR is 20 x 9 +6 Hope it's not sticking out too much.

Thanks Yun.

The fronts will stick out an extra 10mm. With a 235 they will clear the guards fine. And they are hyper disk fronts, so plenty of brake clearance. Rears sit at exactly the same point - just more inner clearance. They actually came off a v35 according to the translated ad.

Tyres are Nittos but the rears are shot. They will be replaced.

Fantastic news! I have actually just finish building a time machine in my house - it's in the cupboard where I keep the broom. I can take you forward two years and you can have them!!! If you pay me half now, half when we arrive in the future you have got yourself a deal!!

    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
    • So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting 
    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
