LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n192776573 Under 300 quid and dished Now your talking! My Japanese isn't great what's the fitment lol Quote
FitmentJunkie Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Lol, I told you on page one dude, yahoo auctions I've bought from their before and it's well worth spending time searching etc I just searched "114.3" Once you have found a set contact jdmdistro and they will get them here for you in a container Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 I didn't know you meant jap auctions lol I see the specs in the title now Iv got a mate who imports from Japan il get him to sort them. Off to call him now Quote
FitmentJunkie Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Haha Yeah Japan doesn't use ebay, it's yahoo auctions. That ad tho I spotted when I scrolled down is a pair. But let your search begin 😂 Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Oh man.... I was actually excited about wheels for the first time Quote
docwra Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Me and a few mates used to have a webspider type thing that searched Jap Auctions for words like Work, SSR, 10J, 11J etc. Was awesome, every morning would get reports of sweet wheels available for proper cheaps. The exchange rate isnt really in your favour atm but theres definitely some bargains to be had if youve got the time to troll through Quote
StevoD Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 any good? http://jr-wheels.com...per.silver.html I do like them but again it's the fitment. I'd need spacers up front which I wanna avoid how wide are you going there 17x9 et20 for the front of an mr2 that must be enough Quote
StevoD Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Ah the good old law- pick 2 out of 3 What's your thoughts on the other 2 17s? my thought are i would save up and buy something from the work emotion range or maybe Forgestars flow form Work M.C.O 17x9 et15 17x10 et 25 set you back around £1150 would rather £1150 for works than £800 for rota imo as there actually light will would perform better than a heavier rota/jr Edited December 7, 2016 by StevoD Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 I read et25. 20 would be fine up front I really like the jap wheels though. Tempted to get another pair... Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 I do like the forge stars but can't justify the price tag. Not on this car. If I was only doing some mods then maybe but with a long shopping list I need to look at something reasonable Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Found the same wheels in black. Fronts 17x9 et18 and rears 17x10 et15. Would come in at £530 before shipping etc Beats the other 2 17s and cheaper. Any idea on how much shipping and taxes would total? Quote

LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n192776573 These Quote
FitmentJunkie Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Speak to jdmdistro basically they run shipping containers every 12 weeks from Japan to here, if you send them the link they will quote you to get them to your door. That's how I did it and it was very easy. But with more effort on your part, there may be other ways for cheaper Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 Turns out it's a cheap Chinese brand... back to the drawing board! Quote
TT350 Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Diablos would look good. Or Antera 309's. 309's... And on an F355 replica MR2... But if i had a white MR2 it'd have to be white Rotas or TE37's Edited December 7, 2016 by TT350 Quote
FitmentJunkie Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 You say cheap Chinese brand, but why does that matter? If you think half the items within the car scene aren't made in China, your nuts! Just because they are repackaged and rebranded somewhere else in the world. The company revere (I think) which is a part of R-tec, their wheels are made in india. Quote
LRF4N Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 True lol. But they will cost a fair bit to import and will take a while I love the te37s they suit most cars. But the look I'm going for needs a deep dish. I think I'm set on the 7twenty style 49s Quote
STYLZ Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Have you seen the vauxhall vectra B GSI alloys. If you can get them with the correct PCD for urs they would look the nuts. Quote
STYLZ Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Actually scratch that if ur going wide body. Quote
LRF4N Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 If I keep the car I'm going for the 7twenty style 49s- 9" fronts and 10" rears But not decided if I'm keeping the car now. Quite fancy a G35 project instead Quote
GMballistic Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 If I keep the car I'm going for the 7twenty style 49s- 9" fronts and 10" rears But not decided if I'm keeping the car now. Quite fancy a G35 project instead Have you seen Ewen had a nice one for sale?! Quote
LRF4N Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 I have mate but that's more than I could spend at the mo. It would still be a second car There's one on autotrader for under 4K that hasn't budged for a while Don't have space for 3 cars in the driveway so need to sell the mr2 before thinking of another project. Otherwise I would've made him a cheeky offer already 2 Quote
