Some European brands are also available locally (Ronal, Borbet, Speedline etc) but will carry premiums (came across a Borbet last month in Delkanda - asking 55k for a 15" set) Some places will trade in your existing alloys - so you an work out a discount of about 5-8k Some European brands are also available locally (Ronal, Borbet, Speedline etc) but will carry premiums (came across a Borbet last month in Delkanda - asking 55k for a 15" set) In terms of pricing most 14", 15'" & 16" used Japanese rims will be priced between 25,000 - 35,000 (sometimes the sellers won't have a clue about what brand it is and just have it price marked as a used reconditioned alloy wheel) You should also be mindful of the offset but assuming your car isn't something with a big brake kit or something performance oriented most normal rims/alloys should clear the brake calipers.Īlso don't forget to check the width of the rim (5, 5.5, 6, 6.5jj etc) - make sure you get the right width to fit the tire (there is a permissible range) Even those can be bought online off eBay or AliExpress and delivered home without any fuss so it's a simple solution. So a genuine good quality Nissan made rim (usually the casting as is on the inside of the rim so i won't be visible externally in most cases) may very well fit a Honda - all you need to do is swap out the center cap. Most passenger cars will have common combinationsĤ Stud 100 PCD - most commonly 14", 15", 16" - Ex: Toyota Vios, Vitz, Yaris, Honda, Mazda 323, Nissanĥ Stud 100 PCD - Subaru's, Toyota Prius etc. These wheels are cheaper and better than the Chinese wheels that come to Sri Lanka directly because Japan has very strict regulations on parts, etc.So they are obviously of higher quality.Īlso keep an eye out for wheels made by other car manufacturers which may have a size & bolt pattern that will fit your car. Whilst the big name brands and a few smaller brands manufacture wheels in Japan.there are a lot of wheels that are manufactured in China, Taiwan and even Korea for the Japanese market. Now about Chinese wheels being marketed as Japanese is a bit of a confusion there. These companies make a wide range of wheels for different markets at different price points.
6 5.5 JDM RIMS UPGRADE
Even when the manufacturers use these brands it is used as an upgrade to the standard alloys.
They do not make average wheels they make really really good wheels. Try to find an oem set with a brand behind, example enkei bbs works oz etc, not the fancy popular models, but the above companies make average wheelsĬompanies like Enkei, Works are fancy names like Watanabe, etc.they are in the same league. Once you find a set, try to do an internet search, you ll see the wheel mostly on sites like yahoo japan or crooober, and can get more info on it, the seller here will have no clue mostly,ġ4 and 15 start at like 15000 LKR for 4.5 to 5.5jj and can go to like 40000 for nice sets, There are other good brands that are non famous as well, so if you see something take pics Mitsubishi wheels are mostly by enkei so u ll see their logo as well. Oz has their name all over casted In, enkei has there logo with or without letters, BBS just the logo, so on, U ll see the emblem casted in, for Suzuki it’s just the letters in a normal font casted in, Usually it’s written in the non logo font or sometimes the logo, assume Honda ?ĭon’t go by the centre cap, they can be changed, go by the emblem on the rear, Sorry for the endless questions, I think I'd better go and see some first. If they have any branded (Enkei, OZ etc.) wheels made for OEM regulations, how do I recognize them? Do they still have their logo in center cap or only the Vehicle Emblem? Thank you for the info any general idea about price ranges for used good condition JDM set? Better to have an idea before visiting.
