Trying to find some rims for my car. Specifically a 17x9 +15 (or 22) in a BBS or Rays. There isn't much showing up on Yahoo in Japan and the local importer style sites all are months/years old with apparently no turnover in anything good.

Can anyone suggest somewhere who may have something?

How much are you wanting to spend?

What about a brand new set of ENEKI RPF1s in what ever desired size/offset you like? Would probably come in cheaper then used jap rims too.

Also not sure if there still available but import monster has on their site refurbished 17x9 + 22 gold BBS rims for $2600 they look great.

There were some new Enkei's RPF1? for $1300 ish plus shipping which I would be ok with. First preference is to match what I have 17" titanium CE28's but they dont come up that often. Last time out I bought a pair with tyres in good nick for $750 which in retrospect may have been a bargain.

Problem is because of the fitment thing everyone has 18's and hella flush offsets. 9.5" is the default width now it appears.

If your prepared to go the new Enkei option I'd suggest suggest go to Tire Rack in the USA www.tirerack.com Their the cheapest I've found and they provide good service, either by chat or phone.

For a set of 4 Enkei RPF1, you are looking at about $1,300-$1,400 AUD, including delivery to Australia. Or if you choose a different Enkei wheel you may even get them for a couple of hundred dollars less.

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
