They have King, which is a direct supplier/represenitive. Why the hell would they bring over a shop to the US?

Nah it's just because the rays lugs blow. I take off my skunk2 cheapo lugs at least once a week if not more and they hold up just fine. Granted they aren't pretty blue but they work awesome and are practiaclly free compared to most aluminum lugs. Spoon/J's lugs seem pretty weak to me also. Work lugs were pretty good though. I'm still looking to try the 5zigen lugnuts as well. How do you like your kics?

they are good.. when i first tried to torque them i thought i was gonna break them.. cuz they kept on going and going.. thought i tightened them good before i torqued but damn.. i think its cuz it has the base that doesnt turn only the shaft itself moves.. supposed to help not scratch the paint on the wheel..

Its what people pay for ****.

I got called a scammer because I was selling wheels at under the 'market value' ....and the guy thought I was scamming someone. Thats what happens when you try to hook someone up over the internet.

the shitty thing is people will pay a fortune for absolute crap, not bagging out certain people but when i was searching for a Mugen bumper bar last year, some dude on here wanted 700 dollars for a replica that was half destroyed! Personally i think its overpriced, but it is the best stuff, but i'd rather spend 6 months longer searching than pay waaay over the odds price for a single piece. I'm lucky here that wwe have some good wrecking yards that im a regular at and i can get the parts i want before most people even see them in the yard, but its only once in a blue moon that something rare comes in the yard. If people stopped paying 1200 dollars for FG360's we could all be happy campers!

p.s. I paid 500 aud for my 16" M7's!!! gotta love that!

Yup and I paid $300NZD for my SSR Type X's, $400 for my Sprint Hart tuners both with tires, and $60 for my mugen grille. Who cares? Oz is still full of riceboys in Hyundais with chrome alba's, and NZ with rotorised everythings with hotwires and eagers. The US is in full swing with the JDM culture, and you have to pay to play, because the good bit's are much coveted and hard to get

I try my best to hook people up but the sad part is people think I scam them for selling **** cheap. Telling me im scamming someone for selling a set of wheels for $600, yet im a scammer because 'honda market value' is anywhere from $800-$1000 (so this other phuk says) for a decent set of real SSR X's, hell, I sell them for $500 for what I paid for them and get called a scammer. ****, I almost feel bad for pocketing $500 from a set of wheels to be honest. If I posted a set of wheels for what I pay for them, I would hate to see what people would say...I honestly dont think I would sell a single thing.

What really really ****' me off is that im the most honest person to do business with. I ship almost all of my parts within 24hrs of getting the money, go out of my way for alot of people and I get called a scammer for tryin to hook people up.

and the #2 thing that ****' me off. PM's like this float in all of the time:
"hey man, im lm looking for (insert some rediculous part here) and I really want it. can you help me out"

So when it comes right down to things, people dont have money, they get fired from there jobs, max out the credit card, or come up with some other bullshit excuse. Am I sayin you, ultimx that you dont have any money, no, im not. but 9 times out of 10, this is the way it is.

Something else that ****'s me off. People think that some super rare parts are just chillin at the junkyards and we can walk into any yard at any givin time and walk out with mugen parts, beautiful wheels and they are shiney and blingin. Well...usually when i want a nice part, I get it stateside. Seems you all have the nice ****. Refer to my sig.


**edit, Sorry about my rant. please get back on subject **
