Hey, where'd you buy the wheels from? Do you mind saying how much you got them for?

Come on, guys.... How much do those wheels cost? Minus shipping from Japan, of course.

Those are the rims that Nate wanted to get. He couldn't find a dealer that could get them in the US. I even tried to get them thru a local dealer here with no luck.

555 are overall good high performance tires. no problems with them. although they are not the best, they are very good for the price, and come in big wide sizes!

thanks... well i originally wanted Pirelli P7000's, but they don't come in 225/35/19 -- only the PZero's, and i was told that the tread life on those is rather short. So Nitto 555's it is... thanks for the tire info

Smile I know the feeling

Sam I know you and I spoke about our wheels a while back ago. My DazzMatiz's finally came in also about a month ago and next week I should have the Eibachs installed with pics ready to be posted. They took about 3 weeks to get in and remember I mentioned that I was considering the Minervas but mission and a half to locate a dealer yet alone some affordable price. So my hat off to your get ...they should look nice. During my waiting game for mine I was told that the DazzMatiz's weren't going to happen so I had to choose others and went with the BR5's but then the DazzMatiz's finally came through....And thats just me hitting up on the highlights of the entire waiting process but all and all when they came it was worth the wait...I remember when the rim shop called me I said that I want no box open when I get their. And the feeling of opening the box seeing them shine and picking them up and holding them with both ...........Sh!t realized I'm going off .... My point enjoy them son and have the locks ready for them I believe you need open end acorn style 12 x 1.50 personally slap on 2 on each rim. Contact your insurance company and see if they can insure them. I have State Farm here in Miami and my agent with a ton of pics has them on my policy.

Someone posted asking about the best free sites to store pictures. I could try and find it and link it here, but I'm lazy. People listed a few good ones, along with a few that cost like $10/year. I need to do something like that, too...
