I see lots of shoes
Dual rims looks trippy. It actually looks pretty unique.

yeah that sounds about right. THis is what he quoted me, if 2 rims can fit in one box under 66lbs

EMS airmail (with insurance, trackable): 30500 yen About a week
regular SAL economy airmail (no insurance, not trackable) : 23300 yen 2-3 weeks
seafreight: 12200 yen 1 1/2 months.

I've been trying to get a set of trafficstar rts's staggered but the place won't answer any of his emails since they are selling them with tires that i don't want and would make shipping more.

yeah the black polished 18's. Its not worth getting them with the tires and paying extra for tires i'm just going to throw away. Yeah not much lip, but for me thats fine, road in new england are unforgiving to wheels with lips, alreayd fixed my g-games twice now.
