Hi guys,

Where is a good place (where they have many rims in stock to choose from) to get ori Japan rims, used or new? Where the price is fair and quality good? I'm talking about Advan RGs or SSR C's, etc....

I've seen in mags places like R-One or Podium Motorsports in Sunway.... are they any good??

Cheers
 
bro, try Auto Dynamics in Sunway...the prices r much cheaper...mostly used Jap rims...0126739891 Meng. opp row row with Tom's...same row with beemerholic...yellow n blue buildings
 
Possible to PM a map to Kazuto? PMed Dorifmun oso no response
 
sorry,just wondering......what diff does it make whether if it's ori Jap rims n Taiwanese ones??i know there's a vast diff between engines,cars etc made in certain countries but rims??Care to explain abit....maybe i'm missing out important stuffs such as weight n quality....guys??:adore:
 
Japan is ori - lighter and workmanship / QC guaranteed the more expensive ones are 1 piece forged from alloy and magnesium; meant for performance/track racing since its light and durable

Taiwan is imitation - weight more & workmanship not as percise, meant to look like the ori but not for performance - heavy & easily dent

Bump: price wise oso different-la Japan probably 2x to 3x taiwan rims

Bro my advice is... Find urself a rim in ZTH... If u an Enkei Die Hard like me... U wold'nt have time to go to Kdai potong every week... In here also got alot of runner who can outsource rare rims. For instance like me, I do my shopping from Singapore and then sell in ZTH. Often got good response from my fellow customer...
 
marketplace has many rims to choose.....juz need yr determination and negotiation. much cheaper than buying outside......
 
If you want to find rare japanese wheels with rare sizes and offset with a VERY good condition, the best place would be yahoo auction japan. I gave up searching in Malaysia including zth, because I only want 2 wheels with the correct colour and everything. ( you can try dig my post if you want to know which wheels I'm looking for). All u need to have is some knowledge , patient and some luck, hehe, to buy from yahoo auction jp and to send it from japan to your place. Most broker companies that helps you to bid in yahoo auction really suck your blood away with their overrated commission. but I said most, but not all. :biggrin:

good luck.
 
try to look out at halfcut in bukit kemuning area....
they have A LOT of original japan rims...
