Talking So I'm in Japan......

And I bought these today. Volk RE30 16x7 4-100 with +42 offset. Will I have any rubbing issues with my Sport Fit lowered on Tanabe GF210s? I'm still in Japan and I can't wait to put these wheels on.

Those are great rims, man. The RE30 is probably one of my favorite Rays rim ever. Looks really awesome and I'm looking forward to see them on your Fit.

Not Autobacs but some car shop/dealer that's close to my girlfriend's house. They sold alot of Nissan stuff. as a matter of fact here's one of the cars they had in front of the building. It's called a Nissan Note and it looks pretty cool.

That's real pain, I think. Only thing you could do is getting a much JDM stuff as possible for your car. But how do you carry it back home? Anyway, have fun over there and enjoy your time.

With the Yen to Dollar rate at the day that I bought these, they cost a little less than $1600, that's less than $400/each. That's a deal considering how much some websites sell the for. I saw TE37's There for sale at about ~$375. From what I hear, the Japanese try to overprice stuff for foreigners but it helps if you have a Japanese girlfrind that'll hook it up.

If it rubs, fix it.

Yeah, you have a point, now i gotta save up for coilovers, intake and exhaust system. it's a slow and expensive/excruciating process.
