Oh for sure, I’m just a jew when it comes to spending money on things like wheels.

Plus I’m spoiled – before the economy went belly-up I managed to score a set of Wats for US$80, a set of meshies for US$20 (!) and a set of never-used Profs for US$130, all off YAJ. So I sorta have this expectation of seeing rims for sale on there for sweet bugger all.

Of course, now things aren’t what they used to be…

Still plenty of wheels around on YAJ. You just have to pay for them. 50k jpy isn’t too much of a budget really.

Someone mentioned SSR Mark II or III as viable alternatives, but I can’t envision a DR30 with such wheels fitted – does you have any photographic evidence of said phenomenon?

also got MSN much?

Yeah, I had a brief look on there just before. I found maybe two sets but then wasn’t overly convinced they’d work on the R30

You’re gonna be disappointed, there’s not much choice left on YAJ. I looked at 100-odd pages last night and the ones I picked out for the article are pretty much the “cream of the crop”.

was hoping to find a set of old Enkei rims on there, but no dice. Even Watanabes are getting scarce, and “full sets” aren’t common anymore.

I might bust onto YAJ for you today man. Not huge on any of those options to be honest. Don’t mind the Autostradas for their similarity to the factory wheels but then if you were going to do that… just get some factory wheels? Not easy I know, but… Also, left a “question” on your auction.
