Japanese wheels? Who likes them?

[sicwitit]

hey guys, I moved to Tokyo a few months ago, and I've been seeing their style of fixing up S.U.V's and was wondering what other people state side think of their wheel choices? here are a few examples.

Gram Lights for the PF......

I really don't like any of the wheels that have the wheel bolts (real or fake) for the multi-piece appearance.

That last two are the best out of the 4 IMO, but again, see above comment about wheel bolts.

Those blue look beat.

Not a huge fan of the blue but i would do anything to get the rims in the second picture!

Can't really find rims like that here in the US.

Japanese QX4:

If I told you how much those wheels were, you'd want to buy 2 sets.

I think I like these too, but I've never seen them on a R50 so its hard to determine if they'd look right?



or these

how much?!? and whats a japanese rim place that will ship to USA????

[SixGuns]

Man the 3rd pic looks freaking sweet. How much do they run over there?? I would totally get a set of those.

[Chris92SE]

those gram lights are sick.

I would love to have those for a Pathy. I would love a set for my Maxima even more.

im into that scene,but just quite picture those on a R50...wouldnt come out too great imo

[K03sport]

These look absolutely fabulous. I know there are white, but the color doesn't matter because they are just so cool. AFter putting those on the PF, I would want to go race it in the JTCC. I guess I would have to run in the 500 class.

What's the name of the big Japanese tuner store? (Super) Autobacs. That place has everything. Isn't there one in California?

[BoostTed]

That store is going out of business. Maybe the Orange County store will have a new owner but the San Gabriel store shut down.

Side note...What i your K03 powering? I had a 01 B5 A4.

Side note...What is your K03 powering? I had a 01 B5 A4.

It is currently powering an '04 GTI. The only changed is the turbo inlet pipe. I went with a one piece silicone hose. I was amazed at the 85* bend the stock pipe had on it. I'm not made of cash like other, younger, GTI owners, so modifing hasn't been extensive.

A chip and TBE would probably do it for me. The car is out of warranty (by time), so the only thing stopping me is $$$$.

[sicwitit]

well, I am actually starting to sell parts and ship stuff back to the us. wheels shipped to the west coast usually runs $30-40 pr wheel w/o tire

I think I'm going to pick up a set for my dad's hardbody....I'm still stumped on if I should send him a set for my R50, or if I should trade it in for a 08?

[slickroger]

gonna have to agree with my boy Fueler there picture Number 2 is nice.

I also like the last one but not sure about it on a PF or QX
