there is a thread in the parts for sale section, JDMImports get Jap wheels all the time through the auctions. Have a look, hot wheels galour! Much better than cheaper Tempe.

guys take a look here http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...showtopic=97642

As already mentioned, dont buy cheap nasty wheels when you can get some bargain priced excellent condtion lighweight jap rims very easily.

I bought some veilside andrews racing V (three piece rims) in 17x9 and 19x10 for less than 2K with rubber - the rims alone sell in japan for over 5k new. Before that I had ANZ 17x8x9 new with rubber (imitation 3 piece) and they cost me nearly $1000 dollars more.

We just dont have the market to get killer gear like the japs do - bit like the cars really

Also, the C-red site is worth a look, they get some decent jap rims in too.

and some more http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...c=82341&st=1140
