I am located in California. I can't find a dealer or the rims anywhere. A while back I heard of these set going for about 5-700 for the 15X7. I am in love with these...Can someone point me in the right direction before I end up buying Sport Max 01 15X8? Thanks

Mas (Takumi Project) has a barely used set of 15X8 @0 R types at a great price right now. Do me the big favor and BUY them before I give in to my wheel whore urges.

Hey Victor:

Are these your ARE Lemans Wheels?

[Victor Laury]

Not Mine. Never had a set, Wouldn't turn down a set, But I'm more interested in vintage JDM alloy. What I'd get goosy for would be a set of Empi magnesium 2 piece circa 1967. About as tough to find as those ARE Le Mans wheels, but more period correct for the roadster. Somewhere there's a photo of the JPGP roadster (67? 68?) wearing the Empi's

how would i go about contacting takumi project about the rims (the used ones). i see a price sheet on his page, but don't know if that is the price for each rim or a set. are the rims flat black. i like the flat black one.

Sorry Victor!

I got you and Ron Carter mixed up. Hope I didn't insult anybody.

Wow...$1900...I got my 15X6.5s for $500 with center caps painted a dark gunmetal color...I guess my friend really did give me a very good deal. Mine are over 20 years old but don't have a single curb nick on them. I do like the the Yoko casings, 195-60-15s are a little small for a Z.

Also check WheelChoice ask for Joji. This is where I got my 16's brand new built at RS-Watanabe plant. I had to wait a few months but they are well worth the wait. See below.
