Sakura (cherry blossom) rims/mags

[Toyo86]

might be hard pressed to find any, but I'm on the lookout for a set of Sakura rims. If anyone has any they are willing to part with let us know as I'd be interested, I'm a fan of the old cherry blossom mags.

[Gilly]

pretty much Japan only

there is a full restored set in Sydney i belive

not cheap though, as in a few thousand $$$$

[MOmo]

I have a friend here in the states witha set of 4. I seem to recall an offer of 5k once for them and he didn't really budge.

They are cool. I think there are re-productions being made.

ah I see, thats good to know then. the money side of things is expected, but I guess theres a limit that I would not go past so I'll leave it at that for the moment haha. thanks guys

[Dillon Mac]

Someone post pic of them..

[tipper86]

cherry blossoms will go from 350-800,000 yen from the past few years of checking out yahoo jp auctions (usually a set may come up once a year etc). They will not sell for any less, there is more demand on them than crack in harlem.

[LordNafe]

Haha, no point putting up a wanted thread for these in Australia. I'm pretty sure 90% of people on here would like some, but we've all realised it's not worth looking for them anymore :P
Get a set of the cheaper imitations, they still look the same :)

[starni_boy]

[haado gei]

[Toyo86]

pm sent[/b]

hell yes, any info you might have on the re-release would be awesome.

even imitations would be worth looking at, but I can't seem to find any :S

[starni_boy]

yeah i know lol..

interested in cnc machining our own? go to a wheel repair place and ask for a one off set?

[DRFTPG]

i found some on yahoo auctions but for some reason i can't link it

[Julz01]

reproductions will still cost a shit load, better off looking at another set of wheels, as you wont be getting these any time soon

[ae71neo]

Yeah I've seen a few sets on yahoo auctions. Going for upwards of 200,000yen.

[jono86]

personaly i dont thing they are all that great :huh: id rather star-sharks or miesters...... and they are less than half the price lol.
i saw a rim that looked a lot like these on yahoo a while back and they were only about 80,000 so maybe there is someone doing imitations...??

I've heard you can get imitations fairly cheaply, but haven't really looked

[VIC_AE86]

[Dillon Mac]

Thats a bit off fucking alright they are.. may have to get some immatations made for myself lol.. be farked if I pay $5g

[mitch13]

They look like crap! Much better looking rims out there for a lot cheaper.
Sorry to offend anyone.

[Dillon Mac]

they're about $788 AUD for the 14-8j -11... EACH

so hot though

[riojin]

are they the imitations for $788 each?

I personally think theyre an ugly rim but id love to see them on a gloss black ke panno with matching pink pin striping

[outcast350]

My 'dream' old school wheel as well. To those who think they're ugly or wouldn't suit a Hachi, maybe they would do in gold?

[mitch13]

Or black

[riojin]

if you werent going to keep em pink I see no reason in having them. they would good on anything gold or black

[LordNafe]

How about stop spamming the dudes thread? "They look like shit", etc is not necessary in wanted/for sale threads.....

Woot woot! *Favorites..*

Agrees with LeviNafey.. Like em or shut up lol

[MINIHORSE]

I personaly think they look awesome, those who don't keep it to yourself, also if anyone can come up with a wheel that comes in
14x12-62 new off the shelf be my guest, to many people are worried what they look like

[Dillon Mac]

Some 'guys' might get bashed for having them on their car pink but a BRIGHT orange or cyan would look good I rekon, it's prob one of them wheels that looks better in a super bright or fluro colour, id have a pair and paint them orange for my car.. Would look NUTS

I was under the impression they came in pink, OR gold?

[ghetto ke]

just to wet your wick...

jeahhh!!!

[starni_boy]

yes the gold ones!! the gold ones above compared to the pink ones are different. welds look a lot different or on the pink ones the couldnt be bothered cutting out the end peices making it look a bit more chunky.

these wheels are so so hot!! I want a pink set! yay but I have no money :( lol
