I am just trying to see the market for decent priced (below 1g of course) with decent offset/size (8/9J +35 ish offset) JDM rims?
These would either be for the track, cheap drift spares or because you have a conservative taste and don’t want to be running an aggressive rim setup.
How this would work is that you would tell me the approximate range of specs for the width and offset you are looking for and I would show you some options and the pictures of them. Once you pick a set(s) you like, you would be placing a deposit (around $250) if the rims I found for you satisfied your taste. A certain design can also be mentioned and I would keep my eye out for them. However, I will not keep looking for different sets of rims day after day, so each person would have a maximum of 3 different “requests” before I stop the search. I think that would be fair, no?
It would also take 1-1.5 months for them to arrive in Canada and when they arrive I would inspect them and then meet up with you. No additional charges would be placed and what you pay would be the price I tell you if you liked that certain set. After you inspect the wheels and you were satisfied with them, you would pay me the remaining balance. It could also arrive in a shorter time if you paid for a faster transportation method (ie. Air Mail).
Also, the deposit would be only 50% refundable if you changed your mind and decided not to get them. However, if the rims were either damaged more than what was stated of course there would be a discounted amount taken off. Also, if the damage was far more EXTENSIVE than what was mentioned before the agreement, then yes, the buyer would be able to back away from the deal completely with a full refund.
Benefits:
-open up your selection to a whole new level, not just SON240
-deal with someone locally with a respected selling reputation
-unique rims
-cheap price
Post up your opinions here! All your input is appreciated! Thanks
I think this is a great idea, this would help anyone unfamiliar with purchasing from overseas getting the unique items they desire. I’d be down for such a deal.
Yes Samson Looks like you have a very good Business with these rims. I will definitely purchase some nice jdm deep dish off you. I am mainly looking for older dished wheels, You seem to be definitely the guy to ask!!
Samson, that’s awesome. However, remember that this is SON and a lot of people want wheels that they might end up backing out of or try to lowball you when you get them. So becareful, especially if they have no itrader feedback.
I need some 4 bolt wheels though! Can you get them?
I am also probably going to be able to get better offset like +20 or lower for those who are wanting something in that range but would require a slightly larger deposit since those type of rims would be a bit more expensive. They would probably range from $1,000-$1,500 depending on size/offset/brand/style etc.
However, because of the way this works it is very hard for me to find people specific rims with exact design and colour. This type of deal would be most appealing to those who are not too picky and just want great fitting rims. A lot of guys just want flush wheels that look decent as track rims or drift spares. It seems to me from my FS thread that people just want a nice big dish with a decent design. With that said, I certainly wouldn’t pick some ugly wheels for recommendation but I highly doubt I can get exact offset/size/colour/design/brand all at one time. So please keep that in mind if you are interested in this.
I hope this still benefits a large percentage of you guys!
NOTE: I’ve already tried finding 4bolt rims in 17" and there is hardly anything. Most 4bolt rims are either 15-16". I would be mainly concentrating on 5lug or multi pattern.
Ok, I’m going to revise how I’m going to do this. If there were a lot of people with different requests, I’d be searching for days.
I’m going to post up pictures of potential rims that I think people would be interested in, such as 5spokes, Mesh, Deep Dish etc. and most of them will be between decent to gangster offsets.
I’ll post pictures with the range of the offset/size and you guys can PM me if you want detailed pictures and price.
