I am clueless too.

Just kidding. You can call up Vic @ wheeloptions in Santa Anita, CA @ 626-579-1182. Tell him Ryan with the Silver Lexus GS sent you and ask for whatever rim you want. He can get rims from almost anywhere and ship them directly to you in Miami from the warehouse

I have a customer in Japan who has helped me find JDM parts for AE86 Corollas, etc. I will ask him about the Dronells.

He is: www.calwing.com if you are curious.

Can you wait a day or two for the time difference?

Thanks,
Bob

... which is why I am this close (fingers one inch apart) to stopping all importing. Simply not worth it.

Hopefully one day the Japanese will get their act together in the US market-- the Europeans have!
