Good Places To Buy Second Hand Rims Locally

[djr81]

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?

[djr81]

Facebook, check out the groups: SAU, GTR & GTR parts, Drift sales NSW, etc.. cant link you at the moment FB is banned at work.

Sorry but I don't have a facebook. Guess that is where everything has gone too which doesn't help.

You have checked the for sale section on here? And put up a parts wanted?

[djr81]

Yes x 2.

Nobody really bothers looking at the WTB stuff.

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.

[djr81]

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.

I saw a set of Nismo 17x9+20 or so go on JDMST, keep an eye out on there.

[djr81]

Just to confirm: The Emo and RX7 PCD's & centre bores the same as Nissans? 114.3 & 73mm?

[niZmO_Man]

Nissan are 66.1mm from memory, so you should be fine with anything larger. PCD is 114.3 yes.

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.

Found some BBS LM's in the preferred size so they will have to do.

These turned up yesterday. Pretty good for old rims. Just have to work out if I want to spend more on making them bling. Would they be painted or powder coated?
