zauber wheels
I've been searching for a site or a place where I can get zauber wheels but I cant even find their official website. If anyone knows of a site that has prices(besides wheelexperts.com which doesn't have prices). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

www.arw.co.jp
That's the site for Arrow Enterprises, the maker of Zauber wheels from what I understand. The site is in Japanese so go to http://babelfish.altavista.com, choose "Web page", put "http://www.arw.co.jp" in the box and select "Japanese to English" from the drop down. It'll let you browse the whole site in english (although some of it won't make sense
). You can't buy them there, but at least you can get all the size, lip and offset information as well as a gallery of their wheels... Oh, and www.wheelpower.com sells Zauber as well - but you have to call them, the won't conduct business via email. Hope this helps..

Are you sure these are the correct offsets??? I got 19x8.5"+43 high disc, and 19x10"+41 super low disc......
These were what I originally found on the Arrow web-site...
They didnt show the offsets that you outlined above....
From their site:
19X8.5" high +3 +10 +16 +23 +29 +36 +43
Lips/mm: 96 89 83 76 70 63 57
19X10.0 Super low +28 +35 +41 +48
Lips/mm: 115 109 102 96

Uhhhhh....yeah.
Are you still liking them? What are your thoughts on the tires/ride? How carefully do you drive to avoid bending?

When buying wheels from Japan, you can spec them any way you want. I think that's just what Wheel Power chose to bring in. (At least that's what they said) but seems a little off to me. I would run a +37H and a +42L if it were my car, but it's only a couple mm difference which is not visible to most people.
The hard part in stocking wheels from Japan is that everyone wants the own spec. Even if it's 1mm off, they won't buy it, even if you have it in stock.
In Japan, if they can make it, you can order it. Those are only the "standard" offsets.

Remember, Wheel Power set the US price and discount structure for this line, not me. Since we are a Hamann W/D, we also picked up the Zauber line along with it. They have to be able to control the grey marketing (one can never eliminate) or else the line is almost worthless (at least to those who are internet savvy, or JDM savvy).

As a consumer in the JDM game, the key to pricing is finding the "HOOK UP"....... This means sourcing the part (in this case wheel) any way possible...... I for one was told how much Wheel Power sells the Gettin for before I purchased. IT WAS APPAULING...
If "Grey Market" is defined as buying from a friend who is Japanese/American and maintains close ties with good sources in Japan allowing for sick pricing when importing, I have to remain a "grey market" consumer.......
Hey Lee? When ordering wheel specs other than what is considered standard, is it as easy as ordering standard fitments..... Also, what is your opinion of the 19x8.5"+43high, 19x10"+41 super low set up Im using???.... TIA, Tiny
