lmao. move out the way yakota, here comes the new baller. lol. jk

yeah, its aggressive.
i got the wheels for 3k, but im so pissed because if i wouldve waited 1 month, jdmpalace quoted me for 2.4k shipped. and the 3k was supposed to be a deal, since i purchased my UAS setup at the same time from the shop. you know a discount for a big order. o well. ive got these puppies finally.

question for you, charley, why went with 18s? a set of 18s for 3000, that sounds awfully expensive. weds wheels are usually priced pretty well, i would think 2400 is more reasonable (i still think it could be cheaper)

either way, nice wheels, charley. though i guess i am a bit biased towards the rtv these wheels are also nice, too bad their 22s don't fit on the ls460 and the lip size is not as aggressive

can't wait to see them on your car

rominl. yeah, it is very expensive actually. thats why i probably will not go with them again. i mean, i got my 19" rtvs for cheaper, and it was a brand spankin new design.

and the reason why i went with 18s and not 19s is because of this

it looks so out of place and its too high

edit: lol, the broken leg look

Must be nice to live in tokyo where parts are cheaper and a lot easier to get. LOL charley don't sweat it, you have some of the hottest wheels . Can't wait to see those in person, as I am sure pics don't do them justice. I just might have to call you next time I am in your area.

well main difference between in japan and here are the shipping and other misc fees. it's more but shouldn't be that much more. i guess the bottom line is a good shop that can really take care of you and give you a reasonable price. charley, you can always hit me up if you need stuff later. i got all my stuff from prestigious society and their prices have beat everyone else i have seen

anyway, i can see why you wanna go 18s on the car, especially with the uas. can't wait to see the outcome
