djr81 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Trying to find some rims for my car. Specifically a 17x9 +15 (or 22) in a BBS or Rays. There isn't much showing up on Yahoo in Japan and the local importer style sites all are months/years old with apparently no turnover in anything good. Can anyone suggest somewhere who may have something?

dyl33 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 How much are you wanting to spend? What about a brand new set of ENEKI RPF1s in what ever desired size/offset you like? Would probably come in cheaper then used jap rims too. Also not sure if there still available but import monster has on their site refurbished 17x9 + 22 gold BBS rims for $2600 they look great.

djr81 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 There were some new Enkei's RPF1? for $1300 ish plus shipping which I would be ok with. First preference is to match what I have 17" titanium CE28's but they dont come up that often. Last time out I bought a pair with tyres in good nick for $750 which in retrospect may have been a bargain. Problem is because of the fitment thing everyone has 18's and hella flush offsets. 9.5" is the default width now it appears.

djr81 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just to confirm: The Emo and RX7 PCD's & centre bores the same as Nissans? 114.3 & 73mm?

niZmO_Man Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Nissan are 66.1mm from memory, so you should be fine with anything larger. PCD is 114.3 yes.

R34 Sedan Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 If your prepared to go the new Enkei option I'd suggest suggest go to Tire Rack in the USA www.tirerack.com Their the cheapest I've found and they provide good service, either by chat or phone. For a set of 4 Enkei RPF1, you are looking at about $1,300-$1,400 AUD, including delivery to Australia. Or if you choose a different Enkei wheel you may even get them for a couple of hundred dollars less.

djr81 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Found some BBS LM's in the preferred size so they will have to do.

djr81 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 These turned up yesterday. Pretty good for old rims. Just have to work out if I want to spend more on making them bling. Would they be painted or powder coated? 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/450390-good-places-to-buy-second-hand-rims-locally/#findComment-7466193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
