HaiSaiJDM Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Anyone looking to buy wheels? I can pretty much guarantee I can beat any prices from the websites or forum advertisements by at least $100, most of the time more though. Also if you are looking for unusual sizes/offsets I can get them to you much quicker than any of the US companies can. Used wheels is hit or miss as far as condition and availability goes, all depends what's available to me at the time. If you are serious about buying some wheels, PM me or post in here exactly what you are looking for....wheel brand, model, size, offset, condition, and max you are willing to spend. I'll see what I can do for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaiSaiJDM Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 4x100? 15"? Gold is tough, I've seen several silver sets in the past, not one gold though. I'll keep my eyes open for ya. You just had to give me a tough one for the first response to this thread? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 SSR ____ 15-16" in black 4x100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaiSaiJDM Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 What style are you looking for? The only black SSR's I'm seeing in a quick search is the Vienna, and they aren't exactly a "sporty" wheel. Maybe SSR Professor SP1's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Type F or Type C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaiSaiJDM Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 SSR Type F's in flat black would be $1675 shipped to you. 16x6.5's are about $40 cheaper, 15x7's are about $70 cheaper. Not really a big difference in price. The Type C's aren't listed with black as an option. Used would cheaper, but there aren't any used black SSR's listed right now.

Kastigir Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Holy crap!!! I'll stick with my knockoffs thankyouverymuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaiSaiJDM Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yup, the real thing isn't cheap, not even over here. Cheaper than in the US, but still not what I would consider CHEAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaiSaiJDM Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 1200?! Where? Brand new? That's lower than my discounted price hookup here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I can find Type F for $1200 try "Type C RS" lol Rob - they are like 10 lb. wheels. Knockoffs would probably be twice that. Try 3-4 pounds more than that....granted the authentic ones are stronger since the are forged and knockoffs aren't, but the weight difference isn't any 10lbs.....maybe for all 4 wheels. I'd love to have authentic wheels for my car, but I only paid 2250 for the car so I'm not going to drop near the same amount for a set of wheels/tires.

CleanGSR Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 15" = 10.2lbs. Congratulations. 15" Attack = 10lbs 15" Slipstreams = 12lbs 15" Circuit 8 - 12lbs So you have a difference of 0-2 pounds for some of the more common Rotas. And those are weights straight from Rota's site. Don't get me wrong, I hate knockoffs too (kinda hate that I own a set), but weight is not the biggest difference. Rigidity and strength is bigger...a more quality rim overall with an authentic rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 OK, didn't realize that. I like the Attacks, but not the other two. What's the pricing? Not positive, but pretty cheap....something like 450-500 a set. The biggest difference is that Rotas are all cast wheels whereas most JDM wheels are forged and as we all know (look at pistons for example), forged is much stronger.

wannaBstuntin Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Rota's website is not showing me any weights. I saw the Attacks listed at 15" = 13lbs elsewhere. But yea, I don't care about the authenticity either. I've been contemplating Italian O.Z. wheels if that tells you anything lol. Your wheels are actually similar to the style I'm looking for. Hell I might just get mine powdercoated black, who knows. I was just hoping there was an off chance Mr. HaiSai could get me some SSRs for 20 bux or something haha.

Kastigir Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Just for craps and giggles, let me grab a quote. Volk TE37 in Bronze, 17 inch, 5X114.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaiSaiJDM Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 At today's exchange rate, brand new 17x7.5 Bronze TE37's would be $2400 including shipping and paypal fees. Or, there is an excellent condition used set available: 17x8.5 +30 for about $1730 (maybe these are too agressive in size, not sure) If you are willing to go with agressive offsets and staggered fitment, it makes it easier. Tough to find these in the same size front/rear used. All the sites I've seen online seem to sell them for about $680 a wheel + shipping. So that puts them at about $2800 shipped probably from most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people like the staggered look, but not me personally. I figured them out of my price range. Looks like it's gonna be Rotas for me. Thanks.

HaiSaiJDM Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah, Volk's are expensive. Have you considered something like the Work XD9's or XT7's? About half the price of the Volk's still great looking, and only weigh a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just pick up two sets of Grids. 17s for the Talon, and 15s for the Celica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
