So i went out tonight tryign to find some wheels, had 500 bucks in yen, about 560 bucks. still have 16,000 yen left so this is what i did with 400 bucks basically

First stop
Bigfoot tires and wheels.
Not too bad, nothing in the offsets that i wanted. (aroudn a +10 front and rear or so)
so i decided to go to the next place, Up garage

Found a set of professors in a CRAZY ass offset, 10j wheels liek a +6 front and rear. only 700 bucks, perfect shape. But a little crazy for me. No wheels here, but i needed an exhaust gasket for my downpipe.

So i get all this

As follows-
Oil catch can to get rid of the ugly thing-50 bucks
New studs for the front becuase mine are retarded and i dont need extended studs anymore-25 for 10
New lug nuts-35 bucks
Spacers for guys that bought them-like 35 bucks i think
Rear sway bar bushings-25
Bride seat bracket-40 bucks
(i got a free reclinable bride for a set of free wheels i had lol)

Then i went to parts off where i got these!

Those are the wheels that I put on my old hatch, except mine were 16's . Yours are defiantly pimp, I always tried to find them in 17's but never could.

PS: the guy thats giving the thumbs up is the guy I parted my car out to. So this is the picture right before it was in 1000 pieces. Bastard took 4.5months to pay me back.

Are you planning on importing the car back to the US? Isn't it easier for people in the services to register them?

No problem. I know what you mean about him promising dates. Every time I called, it was "next week" till about 3 months later when he stopped picking up the phone and I would have to call someone else that was around him and tell them to hand him the phone. Thats when I got pissed off and was about to start repoing random things and selling them. Though finally I got my money. Anyways, if he aint done by next weekend, both of us are gonna go to his house, set up some lawn chairs and a cooler of beer and watch him finish your motor in one sitting.
