The hardcore Kyusha Shoe community was abuzz last weekend when one of the more interesting auction finds that I’ve ever come across appeared. It was a set of un-used and still in boxes Volk C1‘s complete with tags and instruction manuals, and one of the two aero options for the wheels, […]

From 1000 to 297000

Since starting this website, the wheel info coming in has been overwhelming. I’ve learned so much. And I’ve also learned a lot about how wheel enthusiasts around the world are buying and exporting wheels out of Japan. I am lucky enough to have family in Japan that has helped me lots […]

Buying Wheels with Jauce

For lots of AE86 owners, non driving extracurricular activities involved wheel shopping. 4×114.3 hubs, and the ability to accept a wide variety of wheel diameters and widths made this a fun and relaxing activity. AE86 owners who stepped into the modern hachiroku, the ZN6, struggle though to enjoy wheel shopping in […]

Fatlace announced a collaboration with AME back in 2010, and finally something has come of it. They are calling it the AME FZero1 and FZero2, modelling them after original 1980 productions. While I am not at all a fan of Fatlace and their brand, I will concede that they’ve done […]

Given the cost and complication of importing wheels from Japan, it’s always pleasant to come across rare finds on this side of the Pacific. These Weds likely date back to the seventies, and they are currently not even in my database. They look great though… especially on the back side. […]

Marry These.

IMO, it’s pretty rare to see interesting stuff on Ebay. These Bridgestone FVS Super Raps are currently listed though, and for a pretty decent price all things considered. Not that many of you are interested in simple steel look wheels… but I think you should be. Weight for these is […]

It’s A Rap on Ebay

Four hole Star Sharks are relatively common. These five holes are on Yahoo Auctions this week. If I’ve seen these before, I certainly can’t remember. Seems like 15″ would be a more useful five bolt diameter though.

I’m getting lots of emails recently about buying things off Yahoo Auctions Japan, and I don’t have the ability to help you all individually. I can’t advise you much better on the condition of a particular item based on the written description much better than Babelfish, nor can I […]

Yahoo Search Aid

The wheel search isn’t going so well. So much so, that I’ve almost decided to go with boring Enkei RP01’s again. They’re good light, strong, affordable wheels but it’s pretty hard to love any car that sits on an ordinary five spoke. It’s also pretty hard to find an upgrade […]
