I need some help finding some rims

[FoxyRoadster]

Ok seriously guys I'm looking for a set of the hayashi yayoi (most know them as the sakura rims)

I know they are being reproduced but cant locate a US source for them, I really want a set for the roadster as I think they'd look good on one.

I can import them for you but be prepared to shell out well over 1-3,000USD for them...

 

If you are truly interested PM me i will search for a set overseas.

Or i can order them straigh from Hayashi.

They would look absolutely badass. Good luck finding a set. These, along with other CHOICE wheels, probably aren't going to be distributed on the US.

Awesome I'll keep you in mind then and yeah I'm ready for it. Going to be a nice xmas gift for my roadster. :cool: Being 84,000 yen I was expecting 1,500-1600 shipped.

 

 

 

edit:

unfortunately they dont come in my cars lug patern.

 

I might end up getting these, but honestly I like the hayashis way better. http://www.nlmotoring.com/Axis-Sakura-Wheels-15x8-Pink-p/axis-sak5804c25pnk.htm

Just to let you know in Japan they show the price per wheel. So the 84k yen is per wheel for a full set you would be spending around $4.5k US.

[Radim]

Yep, forgot to mention that, 1-3K is for a used set of mild wheels (13-14s 5.5-7" wide with mid offsets) wide with 0 to negative offset will run you more.

$1,031 ea /todays exchange

 

that 4 510's to me :(

Yeah I kinda figured that on their site as very few wheel sellers show a price for all four.

 

I'm not wanting major offset as my roadster would eat the tires on wide wheels. I'm just wanting the small offset, and will be buying used of course as my gf would kill me if I spent 4k on rims for a 400 dollar roadster.

 

 

Though I'm kinda thinking of just getting some wheel adapters and taking my chances with the knock offs.

What's the lug pattern on the Roadsters?

I can help you get the wheels redrilled to fit but the lug holes will be oval, and you'd have to use mag lugs.

standard 4x114.3 datsun lug

[Radim]

Oh, i'm pretty sure they make them in 4x114 then.

 

Edit: Just checked.. they don't. :(

Should be easy to redrill... unless you still want to run adapters.

I found axis doesn't make any rims in our sizes, it sucks I'd think they'd sell a lot too.

 

I might run adapters, they aren't too bad if you check up on them and also place grease between the adapter and drum/rotor. Plenty of vw'ers run them with no issues doing that.
