What are you offering that say ordering direct via Watanabe doesn't offer? Quote
Jackmc Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Jack I'm semi weary of approving first posts that flog goods. What are you offering that say ordering direct via Watanabe doesn't offer? Understandably. I am offering 5 - 10 days wait opposed to 4 - 5 months. gav240z 1 Quote
theremm Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Understandably. I am offering 5 - 10 days wait opposed to 4 - 5 months. How are you able to offer these lead times for new orders? I'm enquired last week actually and was told from watanabe a 4-5 month turn around on new orders. Do you already have your own inventory of wheels you have purchased previously? Quote
Jackmc Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 exactly! it's too long.I DHL them from a seller in Japan. takes 1 week to get to sydney. I have done 5 sets for myself and friends and 3 sets for customers. Quote
Shaun05 Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I think I can weigh in here, to try an ease some scepticism amongst potential buyers. I was pretty wary when I first saw Jack' for sale post on Gumtree. I had searched for a set for a while, always coming up with the same result. Exorbitantly expensive and massive lead times (5 months when I enquired). After pestering Jack with a bunch of questions, I decided to get a set. I have just purchased some Gunmetal Black 16x8 0 offset wheels from Jack. He was very forthcoming with the information provided, got my order processed extremely quickly and I had a set of wheels delivered to my door, from Osaka, Japan in 5 days (no sh1t). Overall, I couldn't be happier with the purchase. At $1195/pair delivered to your door in that amount of time, I think you'd be hard pressed to do any better.

dat2kman Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 $600 each per rim, thats not a bad price, compared to what they used to sell at, here. Quote

cracker Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Hey Jack, Are you still supplying wheels? Website is down and emails bounce back. Cheers Quote
