I love GT3's, but don't have a grand to spend on rims, what would be the best way to buy them?
Or are there cheaper rims that look just like them?

Thanks

Haha this is a first. Someone that wants a replica of a replica. :rofl:

Give our sponsors a call, they'd be happy to find some wheels for you.

Oh okay,
So, how much do gt3's usually go for, i have seen them go for as much as 1000, which is outrageous.

haha replica replicas.....


anyway, what size? if you get 15s i'm sure you could get a set for around 700-800 brand new pretty easily.

I don't really like that style though.

I think Rota gt3's would look alot better on my EJ1,
or some BBS 2 piece rims, but i can't find any nice ones.

If anyone finds them, message me.

They seem kind of overpriced, there is alot of eBay stores selling for cheap, but i guess i don't know shit.

Ebay you will obviously get charged shipping + brokerage fee's...

I sold my GT3's a few months ago for $700

There not gt3's,
there spun supamesh's,
On ebay theres new ones going for like 400-500, but thats without tires,
but tires aren't a problem for me as i stated.

$599 USD = $679.27 CAD
+ $100 shipping ($113.39 CAD)
+ tires ($75x4 = $300)

$1092

= not overpriced?

Buy them local by the time you pay for shipping, duty, brokerage etc you could have just bought them here. As Kenny mentioned use one of our sponsors.

I did the same thing a few years ago form my GT3's on the civic but I picked them up at my local post office. They shipped through USPS and it was only about $40 in duties so not bad at all.

I think I ended up paying about 550-600 tax in CAD so it was a pretty good deal. Might be cheaper now that the dollar is higher.

If you can't afford a G for a set of wheels I'd suggest saving up rather than buying total crap. Even rota's are questionable

Well i want to get a nice set, just not brand new.
Something used but in good condish.
I don't have money to just throw away, i'm on an extensive budget, =D
