Russ_T Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi, I'm on the look out for some quality 18" alloys, BBS, Advan, Work etc etc. I've bumped into a few Japanese trader websites which can import these for me. Can anyone recommend a used wheel dealer? It takes forever for something to come up on ebay. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ_T Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi, Thanks for the link Si, site seems to be down at the moment, and based in the states?

The guy is based in the states, but if you want discount Japanese rims from Japanese Yahoo auctions, then he'll get them sent from Japan to UK. You get some very nice wheels on there for not a lot of money. The selection of genuine quality split rims over here is poor. Japan and the US have always had a fantastic selection.

The selection here is very poor. Too many manufacturers knocking them out for the Corsa brigade. Most of the stuff that fits our cars tend to be poor quality heavy korean manufactured rubbish. Im craving a set of high quality lightweight wheels - Rays/Volks, Work emotions, Advan ..etc Hence why Im still on stockers until I find the right ones.

Russ_T Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thanks for the heads up Si, his website still seems to be down though, maybe I can make him a new reliable one and get a good deal on wheels :) Same for me Legrath, mine will remain on the stock alloys (which I actually like, shame they're a bit small) until 'the ones' come up for sale :) Picked up some Rays at Japfest and they were insanely light!

LOL me to....I nearly launched them over my head when I picked them up as I was'nt quite expecting them to be that light :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Russ, his website's changed as he's branched out a bit from just wheels. http://www.bidschoice.com I've used him a few times before and he's been very good. I've got stuff from the Japanese yahoo actions as well as Z32-zone store in Tokyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
