Where to buy Japanese wheels

[wedge_A]

Hi all,

Here's the deal. I fairly recently bought an NB8B, and am absolutely loving it. It's simply a pleasure to drive. My only issue with it is that the previous owner put some 17" super heavy Bob Jane wheels on it and I would really like to get rid of them. I'm after some nice Japanese wheels to replace them because:

a) The car is Japanese
b) They are usually light
c) They will look nice and not gigantic and chrome

I'm thinking Buddy Club, Enkei, Work, etc. I know that Mx5 Mania sell Buddy Club P1s in a 15", but that's all the Japanese wheels I can find in Australia! So, does anyone know where to buy Japanese wheels in Australia? I seem to be having great difficulty in locating any!

Thanks all

[Dan]

I've purchased from these guys before http://www.autotechnik.com.au/index.php

They sell some of the rarer brands like Rays (Volk/Gram Lights), Weds, AME etc.. As well as Enkei. Doesn't look like they have many 4 stud fitments on the site apart from Enkei but if you look on the companies websites directly and find something they can order it in for you (took about 8 weeks for my set of Weds which were a special order).

Also you can get the Advan Wheels, they have some 4 stud fitments in some wheels like the RZ and I think you can order them from places like Ozzy Tyres http://www.yokohama.com.au/ADVAN-Wheels.aspx

If you're really keen on JDM then polish up your Japanese or put your faith in Google translate and browse thousands of wheels at the source. This link is for 15" 4 stud

You can talk to Rupewrecht about buying and importing them.

Rupewrecht is awesome, and has a shed full of awesomeness you should ask him about.

If brand new then you're best to contact the manufacturers direct, Work wheels have an Australian agent I believe.

Ones like Rays/SSR are I think often sold by Nengun or something.

For secondhand you're best to speak to Rupewrecht, he imports stuff like that from Japanese auctions.

He's a really good bloke, i've bought a bit off him over the years and never had a problem.

[Muzdaman]

Rupwrecht is great, he can get new stuff too.

Ive bought through jdmyard and rhdjapan before.

Im located in Brisbane and also import products from Yahoo Auctions, feel free to PM me if you need anything

[bates91]

garage88 at eastern creek highly recommended for their pricing, able to get anything in from japan plus they have a huge display and every catalogue you could want to flip through for jap wheels.
autotechnik also have a good name.
Check facebook sale groups you never know what pops up sometimes, or try your hand at yahoo japan auctions and use a middle man to get them in hassle-free

Yes, Rupewrecht is great to deal with. His garage is full of drool-worthy Jap wheels (not sure what would fit the MX).

[Mr nanotech]

I can vouch for ruperwrecht as well. Bought many things over the years from him and always easy to deal with.

If you want to buy Work wheels new, I recommend looking at JDMConcept.com.au. They are the Work wheels distributor in Australia and I have dealt with them first hand buying wheels.

Otherwise jump on importmonster and have a look through yahoo auctions using their user friendly guide.

Wow, thank you to everyone for the extensive feedback! I'll definitely be looking into a few of these options, and might drop ruperwrecht a line.

Cheers people.
