I have the oppertunity to buy these MINT JDM Gunmetal 16"s for 1,000 Shipped from Japan ($600 for wheels, $400 shipping)

You guys think it's worth it?





I'm sitting on the fence on this one, what do you guys think??


Everyone who reads this, post what you would do!

They look to be in GREAT condition, but IMO I think you could find some on this side of the pond for less.

 

not a bad set! Get minds though! LOL

 

as time go by...a mint set like that are going to be hard to find...I say go for it

 

rims look great, its the shipping that ruins the deal, for 600 id be all over it.

 

Nice wheels...but too much with shipping...maybe if they had some decent tires already it'd be worth it.

 

Anyone have any pics of these wheels on a PY ITR? also - does anyone know if it is a straight fit? I'd assume it is, but I'm not 100%?

Let me know ASAP I need to make a decision.


Anyone have any other pictures?

This one really takes the cake for me...

I dont think I would do it. You could get decent wheels and tires stateside for slightly more than that.

 

I paid 550 for my mint set of jdm white wheels without tires shipped. The person also sells GM ones for 640 shipped but im sure they wont be mint like that. Probably 8/10 or better. But remember 1000 for mint wheels not including shipping, tires, mounting, balancing.... i dunno man seems steep.

The 1,000 does include Shipping, it's $600 for the wheels and $400 for shipping from Japan.
And I'd say these wheels are 9.75 out of 10 from the pics, so I'm real close to being able to justify it, lol.

 

Well if you want the contact of the guy i baught mine for let me know.... it will cost you 550 without shipping, he's in cali and will take high def pictures for you.

 

They should fit fine if you have stock brakes.
Walker told me he needed a spacer to clear the spoon calipers.

All you gotta do is toss them on if you got a stock itr

 

I have gotten alot of pms already about who/where I got my rims so here is his contact info:

Ebay ID: l0wboost
AIM Screename: l0wboost

Here is the ebay link to his feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eB...E:UFS

You can contact him through ebays message service.

He is a good guy who is honest and straight to the point. Will even take high def pics of anything you buy and charges ACTUAL shipping cost. Out of california and can get anything JDM

 

if you have stock calipers, they will fit fine, if you have spoon calipers than they will not clear, you'll require 5mm spacer as walker has shown us.

 

theyll bolt right up like your stock wheels. I would just try and get them in the states because youll find them with tires for that price.

 

Worth Every pennies so go for it!
I paid for mine around same price 3 years ago.


Here is a PY one for you.

i'd do it.

 

In case anyone is wondering, LunchboxZT put a down payment on a set through my friends for the next shipment he is getting in. He saved almost 500 bucks !

FTMFW!
I have to wait 2 months for the wheels from Doostur's friend but he is charging 640 instead of 1k he said he will send me pics next week, but promised 8-9 out of 10 quality.

Doostur

 

personally i cant live with curbed, scratched up wheels but i guess its just me. i spent a lot of time waiting for the perfect set to show up because the jdm itr wheels in gm is NOT that easy to find mint. my thinking was, lets say i spent 5 - $700 on decent ones...then i'd eventually spend another $300 to repaint. whats the point? by the time im done, i would have spent the same amount anyway on a mint set, and i dont have to worry about the color being off or matching the centercaps. spend the money once and do it right the first time.

 

good deal, rims look mint, getting harder to come by. hopefully you don't get ripped off since it is across the globe. I got ripped $400 on some jdm one piece prelude headlights back in the day



no mods necessary on stock brakes.

 

someone buy minds! LOL

Thanks for the input Lucky. Depending on how the pics come back from this set Doostur's contact can get me I may just buclke down and get these for 1k.
