~900$ for the pair, not 1600? wut.
and agle minerva's in 17s are rare as fuck so definitely worth it, ask dousan. His 18s sold for 2k a pair or something like that

[icedsole]

ok so whats 900 x2? that is fucking 1800.

now with, shit yen rate, dismount of tires, persons commission, shipping ect.
your going to get them for 900 bucks?

i feel like there is a lot of noobs in this thread that just post links and are like
oh hey these are cheap.

the recent pair of wheels i bought the auction ended at 35k yen
all said and done i ended up paying like 850 usd.

and if your going to pay 2 fucking grand for a pair of wheels, you need to
get your priorities straight.

quality things aren't cheap. Like i said, SSR Agle Minerva's in 240sx sizes are hard to come by

Why the fuck do you think a shitty sized/offset blitz set will sell for like $1200 but when a good one comes through people pay more for it? Cause it's not fucking common.

I'd gladly pay $4000 for a set of wheels that look new and every other fucking car doesn't have on em.

Oh and you made it seem like $1600 was the price for those wheels alone, chill the fuck out.

[Irresistible]

Looks like I've found where my next set of wheels is coming from...

Nah man, I wish I could buy wheels on such short notice. Won't be looking for wheels until next winter. I just meant that my next set of wheels will probably be off of YAJ.

commission and shipping for 4 x 18" wheels via seapost is 350..

why dont you ask first.

[MarcD]

If anyone finds some Vienna kries in 18x12 PLEASE pm me.

I've been hunting for some for ages and getting close to forgetting about them

[kalypso123]

you can do it... go here >

Yahoo!

[MarcD]

Haha I have been going there for about a year and still no joy.

Only seen one pair pass through but I was buying my 9j/10j set at the time and could'nt afford the 12j's as well

Now I just want to run the 10's up front but cant find the 12's for love or money.

[kalypso123]

maybe someone can make you a new lip...

slice and weld, then smooth it down and polish. :0)

[MarcD]

It's a possibilty, they're so clean though I dont think I'm man enough to cut them

[Toi]

If shipping wasn't so bad I would do this for folks but shipping is a true PITA......

Those rims are Sick though........

[kalypso123]

shipping is cheap via sea post... you guys need to stop saying that.

[Toi]

Yea that is true ^^ but I don't know of many people that are willing to wait!

[chiboy002]

how long does seapost usually take?
And what ever happened to that stupid limit Japan put?

I'm so torn between selling my wheels for cheaper and grabbing those ssr's or just waiting for another set... 17x9.5 is kinda fat but sooooooo worth it

I've also been searching for bucket seats
30,000yen for a relatively new zeta 3 w/o rails
compared to:
just over 80,000 for new vios 3 w/ rail (on rhdjapan)

Worth it?
Or maybe I could get one when I'm in Japan for the summer
I was planning on getting a steering wheel and shiftknob then anyway

Why not just buy a zeta3 through frsport? The issue i would have with yahoo japan and bride seats, which is what s0ap had, is authenticity of the seat. Its an amazing price, but equals out the a new one from frsport pretty much when its all said and done.

And shipping a seat would prolly cost a shit ton like wheels - since its so big

[iStayBroke]

Ya thats why I was asking if it would be worth it.
I was looking at frsport too, but forgot to mention it.

If I don't have one ordered before summer is over I'm gonna go to Upgarage or super autobacs to see what kinda prices I can get.
Go on base and ship it to myself.

Oh and the UpGarage thing reminds me, anyone needing shift knobs or steering wheels, I'll probably pick some up.
But I'd need a count to see how many to get.

[icedsole]

bucket seats are cheap. since they are very light, anything else like a bride brix... GLWS

Honestly it's not worth it when you factor shipping into it. Unless you are buying a lot and have a larger box or container I wouldn't do it. Oh and I'd be weary of the actual branding as there's fakes on Yahoo as well.

[iStayBroke]

Ya for shipping I would only get it shipped to Okinawa (where my parents currently live).
Wouldn't that make it cheaper?

[tricky_ab]

And then from your parents house to? The minute it leaves J-Land by post it gets expensive unless you're buying more items and then shipping it in the same box or it's coming back in a larger container. The size of the item is around the maximum for shipping.

I have a friend who's ordered stuff for me and the shipping from Up Garage to his house was like $30 and then shipping to me was in the neighborhood of $200+

[iStayBroke]

I'd ship it from on base

I need to check to see what it'd cost.
I'm kinda narrowing down my choices to ordering from frsport, or trying to find something in like the FS section here. If I can get a deal at some local shops in Oki, I wouldn't have much of a problem shipping it. I only want one.

I can find seats for less easily, but I would prefer to have an authentic seat.
