I have a set as well..

Actually I have both that I posted...

The first ones were an accesory on the SIR in Grey and Standard on the SIR-S in bronze

I believe the were sold as an accessory to VTI owners in Europe..

Neither set was available in the USDM/CDM market..

You can only find these in EDM or JDM markets.

Are they just rare or were they made different? I suppose they are cast right?

Wow!! Those are some really nasty looking rims... You guy's have actually shelled out cash to get those JDM "stock" rims instead of spending that money on rims that look good??

i honestly dont see whats so bad about those rims, the top ones look sweet. Who cares what some other people say, if u like em, then sport those wheels, i think its kinda cool how your making your car look so JDM. Keep up the good work

Actually my car is sold, most of the parts are sold.

In the past I was lucky to do a bunch of work for a local importer and had access to MANY,MANY,MANY parts..

Truth be known I had over 5 sets of rims and rubber for my car last I checked.

All made by those "ugly" Japanese manufacturers..
