Default LMGT4s - the ones that aren't easy to get?

I'm moving from my set of standard 9.5 rear 8.5 front Nismo LMGT4s to a set of white ones with a 10.5 rear and a 9.5 front. I've been in contact with a couple of retailers that can get them, but I found that I'm paying a fortune more for these than I did on my current ones. Anybody order these? Or, does anyone know of any Volk / Rays dealers that can get me a good price?

Yep, they cost close to 1k more than the ones you get off eBay that have the crappy offsets and you will probably have to wait 6-12 weeks to get them.

Alright, so I found some stuff on these...

Some website called nengun (never heard of them before) has a variety of Nismo 19" wheel offsets to purchase. They also have 18" in 10.5 widths. http://www.nengun.com/rays-engineering/nismo-lm-gt4

The biggest lip for the 19x10.5" rears would be +15 for $625.62 each on their site. You can get 19x9.5" for the front with a +12 offset for the biggest lip. $610.41 each for those. $2,472.06 is the total cost.

Or you could just buy a set of four 19" Nismos on Ebay from brinster for about $1,225 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...184755138&rd=1 ).

19x8.5" + 25
19x9.5" + 30

Spend $1,251.24 for the 19x10.5" rears and move the x9.5 as front. Total cost is $2,476.24 for six total wheels (two 8.5, two 9.5, two 10.5).

You'll pay $4 more for two extra wheels through the second method, but you're stuck with that offset for the 19x9.5". If you really want the biggest lip for the 9.5 width, which is +12, then you'll spend the same amount, but no extra wheels. Is a +12 offset vs. +30 offset for 19x9.5" worth 2 extra 8.5" wheels to you?

Here's another website with it listed. Again, I have had no experience with either of these companies. http://www.gruppe-s.com/Nismo/nismolmgt4.htm

i got the 10.5 rears on my car and actually ordered them from the same site you checked out. I simply moved my 9.5 (+30) to the front and slapped on some 15mm spacers. Looks great imo! But be prepared to wait for them, took me about 11 weeks to get mine

We can always get them for you. If you guys are interested, just shoot me a PM. Seems like a few are interested, so if anything we do a small GB type thing for these wheels.
