Question where can I get work wheels?

I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get work wheels I know a few people on this forum have them but where did they get them from?

I really need rims before hot import nights

If you are interested in a trustworhty, timely, LEGIT transaction, you have a few choices. I know these are not the ONLY options but:
1-GS4Will- Cash only through a "well known" old school CL member. Keep in mind hes not running a business. If he does it for CL members its as a favor only.
2-Hiro- http://store.yahoo.com/lexusparts/index.html
Safety and piece of mind using a Credit Card through an established business run by a CL member from the "old board".....I am ordering my wheels through him in the next day or two..... He WILL beat any other retail pricing you will receive for Work wheels.... I say that having priced multiple wheels through too many retailers to count......
Next I would say that www.WheelKinetics.com (Dennis) has done enough to grab the attention of M.Kilty and has MANY happy customers over at Supraforums.com. I would definitely check with him to make sure you tap all available resources.

I do not know how Hiro does it, but his pricing is insane. I can only assume that he is trying to carve out a chunk of the market for himself (the way Steve Ganz does w/aftermarket performance mods) by pulling business through low-pricing. Also, my personal experience trying to get multiple quotes from Hiro is that he sends you an awesome quote the first time. I have never felt compelled to haggle with him (even though I still do because hes usually hundreds lower than my other quotes.
JMHO, hope this helps you a little, Tiny
Oh yeah, Biggie? You sounded in a hurry......
Uhhhh....JDM parts and "fast arrival time" should never be mentioned in the same breath....

I am working with an extremely good importer right now for Work wheels. I am importing a set of VS-SS Work wheels as we speak. I *should* (I won't give a gaurentee from anything coming from Japan) be able to have the rims to your door in two weeks. Please let me know if I can help, thanks!

Then as you know from experience, the sooner the better! April 13th isn't that far away.

Only for people with the same first name. Let me know what it is and if you're serious about it or just want a price quote-- I can probably do both. Thanks!

I got my wheels from Mark (GSXOTIC) as well. He is very professional and has excellent prices. A few of us have gotten them from him. You can try gs4will also, he can get them for you.

hey wei,

hopefully you got back to SJ ok with those top of line equips...

now, where are the pics? quite a few cl guys are all waiting to see them, hurry man..

for those who inquired, usually the 2 pc 18"x8.5+9.5 Euroline series can be had for ~$2600-2800, diamond polish finish, and ~$400-500 more for the 19s, depending on style and finish. this price include ultra high-performance all-season ZR rated tyres, all AIR Freight from japan to LA, US custom duty/tax, and import clearance fees.

if you feel more comfortable getting tyres locally in your area, i can get rims only as well. actually wei's set did not came with tyres, but i set him up with my local tyre guy for a set of the S-o3s, matching tyrerack prices.....if he could wait a bit longer, i could have set him up with the new bridgeston GIII model, the next gen of the S-O series,,,,


to those who are looking to spend ~$2-4ks on rims upgrade, imported JDM rims exclusively for you are actually not that exepnsive...

to thsoe who are waiting, i will certainly keep you updated on any progress.....thank you

Sup Will,

If i'm getting wheels will you be able to help me out? I see that importing wheels is the way to go Probably Either Volk, Advan, or PIAA.
