I almost bought these but held out for something else... Can i ask how the process works with regards to buying/shipping etc (if theyre from where i think theyre from ) Thanks We have a winner, lol I have to admit I was a bit concerned buying from Japan but got a lot of reassurance from friends who have bought from him over the years he has been in business. Process was pretty simple, sent him the money and they are on route and a tracking number supplied, should be here within 1 to 2 weeks. Hate the chrome, but its not a problem to get it removed and the centres painted so will update with the results. Seems pretty hard to get some nice size decent 19's over here so didnt really have much choice unless I was hopefull and patient something would come up or wait for someone like jdmdistro to source something specific which again could take ages!

AliveBoy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I can't remember where I saw it, but supposedly, the red dot on your tyre wall is the heavy point, you want to have it opposite the valve which is the heavy point of the wheel. It's surprising how many tyres I've noticed since I found out with the red dot next to the valve and one hell of a lot of weights on the alloy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
