Where to buy nismo LMGT4 wheels with the "PROPER" offset?

[s14_sport]

Does anyone know where to buy the Nismo LMGT4's in the larger sizes and offsets?

I'm looking for 2 of them in 18x10.5 +15 offset.

I've tried a few places that USEd to sell them and they don't seem to exist anymore, and some places that are still in business can't seem to get them.

You try this place yet? I found it on google pretty easily... Don't know if they still stock the wheels, though.

If that doesn't work, maybe Grant aka Yokotas13 can get them for you in JDM-land and ship them back. Hell, that'll probably be cheaper than buying online anyways...

Lol @ Grant = Yoda...

He runs a service importing stuff for folks. I've never used him, but others have and service seems to be top notch. Here's his profile link & contact info.

i think i remember asking yokota on zilvia and he told me they were some ridiculous price like 2500 or 3K...meh

[simmode1]

Ridiculous price, you say? At $2500, thats about $625 per wheel and maybe the $3000 quote included shipping. Which sounds about right, if you ask me.

You gotta remember, these are some baller-a$$ wheels. Gotta pay to play, homie. You're not gonna find these wheels for much cheaper than that.

And at least he can get them... It sounds like they're becoming even more rare...

[simmode1]

The only LMGT4's you'll find much cheaper than that are used Nismo Z wheels in much less aggressive sizes...

There's pay-to-play, then there's wasteful flaunting of cash...just need to ask yourself which you want to put yourself in.

you could easily get light wheels that are as nice for 1-1.5K if you looked around

i'd rather roll fenders, use spacers, look at tire options etc. before finding the exact jdm offset...but that's just me

I agree with most of this. Get some RPF1's and call it a day. Unless you want a specific look. IMO, LMGT4's and SAR3 are classic and perfect for 240's. Also, some newer style like Gram Lights 57 pro are really tempting too...

Going for the functionality of light wieght is great, but sometimes, chasing wieght savings can make you miss out on a certain amount of aesthetic appeal, i.e. style.

What I don't agree on is spacers. Having run bolt on spacers before, I will never do that again. I could care less about the 'hella flush' crowd, "fitment whores" or 'rimtuck' guys.

Well I have been endlessly searching for JDM LMGT4's over the past week and I think I have dug up quite a bit of info.

These wheels are discountinued everywhere, I'm sure most people know.

But, if you look in the right places you can still find 18x10.5 JDM spec wheels in every color they made. silver, bronze, and white. But they come at a price. Just for 2 wheels shipped they will run anywhere from $1600 (lowest price i found) upwards to $1800 and I got another quote of a ridiculous $2000.

I found a comfortable medium tho that a few people have already done. Buy 18x9.5's all the way around. This way you can have the concave look on ALL of your wheels. To make the wheels alittle staggered, buy EXTENDED wheel lugs for the rear and add a small 5 or 10mm spacer. Done.

When the bronzes were discontinued in U.S. sizes they were selling for around 1-1.2K. Now you're talking go with silver in a specific offset from jdm land and they are costing around 3K. 2 grand is a lot of money. (That's about 3 sets of tires.)

They're nice, but not 3 grand nice...
