Those fender mods look great.
Is that a custom job or just a molded body kit?

You know what, most mesh wheels look very similar (IMO) so why go through the hassle of importing a set of mesh wheels from Japan? If you damage them, you won't be able to get any replacement parts. Instead, you can find a US manufacturer or a manufacturer with an official US distributor.

Think about it...for the same price you're going to pay for these, you can get a set of (for example), iForged Seneka's or iForged Swifts...forged and custom offsetted...and if anything goes wrong, they're local (at least in the US) and they can provide you with replacement parts and/or fix the wheel for you.

Now if you were getting a set of very specific wheels (like the Rays Volk Forged Magnesium wheels) then hit up GS4Will...

very true, BUT why settle for something anyone can get, when you can have something many people can't. =]

BTW, i tried PMing you but you weren't accepting PM's.

The Trafficstar/Riverside/Maya STM is also a good choice...

As for "settling", it's not really settling because the AME's aren't all that "unique". It's a basic 3-piece Mesh wheel...it's nice to get stuff others can not get easily but on some things, you really need to look at it realistically. I have a body kit that is hard to get, but it's fiberglass so if I break it, it CAN be fixed by anyone who can work fiberglass. That's easy to find. You crack a lip or something on a JDM wheel, not anyone can just fix or replace that....and again, is the wheel SO unique, that it warrants importation?

Now Rexax II with a DDC lip is a little more unique of a mesh but then again, what happens when you severely bend or gouge the lips? Sometimes, practically has to kick in....now if this is for a show only car (not a daily driver), then that would be different....

I mean that is just my opinion...if you're really hooked on getting the 'em, I'm sure GS4Will could get them for you...

I turned off PM's cuz I was just getting way too many and it became a chore to have to clean out my sent items box and whatnot...so you can just email me (gs430@mac.com) instead...
