I found these whilst drifting through the pages of Takakaira:



Now I know I'm going to get flamed here   s:flame: :flame: s:flame:   but I think it would look so incredible and complement Mr Whifbitz's bodykit nicely (on my wish-list), somewhat Porsche-like.   s:) :) s:)  

Is takakaira the cheapest place to get these wheels from and would they do custom off-set like on spyderchi's volks?

How much will they charge for shipping, tax and import duty?

I want these badly!   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

Probably not the cheapest...I found that you can actually get Volk wheels for less from US than from Japan. Go figure why...
Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

For GT-U this was the cheapest I could find (last winter):

I seem to have these bookmarked under "Volks" as well, worth looking I guess:

Not sure of their weights, they are split rims.  I wouldn't imagine them to be in the superlegger territory.

Anyhow since the wind has changed direction along with my mind, I'm now getting these:



For a 1/3 of the price of the Rays/Volk wheels.  I like the volks more but at the end of the day they're not worth the extra money unless your doing shows every weekend of the summer.  Me, I have better things to do!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
