rare japanese wheels, where can I get some?

[ikon31]

I NEEED wheels like this in my life, any ideas where I can get them from, even if I have to import them from japan, I'm stuggling to understand ebay.co.jp, and english companies that might be able to help me out













as you can see, they are 6 stud (6x139.7) god damn awesome

Just search ebay uk for some L200 / Pajero wheels - there's normally quite a few sets on there that have come over on imports

Failing that, Rinkya is your friend, though you'll pay a lot now to import a set with exchange rates and the like

[ikon31]

guessed as much, I've found 2 sets on ebay at the mo, that a pretty much what I'm after, I'll have to be patient I suppose

Quite a few sets like those have made their way over here on Imported 4x4s - you're much more likely to find a set of cool six stud split rims on ebay UK than any of the rarer 4 stud variety.

Search for Delica, Pajero, Hilux, Surf or Shogun rims.

Just to tease you, here's a few from Yahoo!:

kfw's top tip - try searching for random associated words on ebay - 10x15 and 15x10 bring up a lot of wheels you don't normally find

also, you are SO lucky being after 6 stud stuff, there's a world of cool cheap wheels in that pattern, but 4x114.3 - not so much

EDIT - infact, I'm about 90% certain I saw a set of the first ones posted in a breakers in wrexham, I remember as they had some superbly funny 'engrish' ;D type 'super awesome road angel star burger turbo AMAZING' written on them!

Look on ebay for hi-lux surf wheels, for some reason the Japanese love to put massive dished rims on them.

I got these for the massive sum of £23.

And these I got local on a swap for some standard pajero rims.

You're right there, brother. Deep dish 4 x 114.3 is Mission Improbable.

cool but not so wide ^^

uber wide, dishy, but only 2!

there's more, but you'll have to get looking - all this searching makes me realise how bad my 6 stud wheel buying would have got if I hadn't missed out on a 2wd D21

FFS, stop posting up pictures of SSR Auswuches. It took me 18 months to get them out of my system, and there's no way I could afford a set even if my old job pays up when promised (hint : I'm not confident).

Amazon & Auswuch = WIN.

I'm changing my build from a minitruck to a drift truck thing, so more drop, (3" aint enough :p) deeeeep split rims, jdm bolt on arches, and hopefully a new petrol turb motor when/if funds allow, I'll just smoke round in the 2.5 derv for now

[carlb1970]

I'll be after something dishy and jappers for my Nissan Terrano II........ Well I can't have my daily looking normal alongside the rest of my retro J fleet can I lol

[ikon31]

ive got a set of polished l400 15s, but there just a but boring, and don't really suit the car, and with the change of ideas, I'm after something with a BIG dish, get some low pro tyres on there, space them out to fill some bolt on arches,

well thats the plan today, I'll probably change my mind by the time I get hold of some wheels,
