JDM isnt a company. It stands for Japanese Domestic Market (parts from japan). So its japanese. The top winning show cars these days almost always have JDM flavor added to them. Like 240SX's with JDM Silvia front ends. Or a more popular one, Integra's with the JDM Type R front end. These parts usually can empty a wallet, but if you have the money, go ahead and buy.

The A31 Cefiro isn't even remotely related to the 3rd gen Maximas. 3rd gen Maximas were called, guess what.. Maximas. A31 Cefiro's were RWD sedans, powered by turbocharged inline 6 cylinder engines. They're a very popular drift car in Japan. I am JDM parts god!

If only

If only 3rd gen JDM Maximas had some parts worth drooling over..... But not :-( When I was in Japan last November, I saw a grand total of ZERO 3rd gen Maximas during the three weeks I was there. And I looked hard too. That's pretty sad.

And when I was in Japan, I wasn't just in one town, but in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Gifu, Kyoto, Fukuoka.

Sure they do, such as H4 headlights. Bling-bling.

Take a look


http://www.volkracing.co.jp/lineup_1...j_indx_gt1.htm

I know it's in Japanese, but there's some specs on this page.

For starters, the "small" 18X9 wheel costs 74000 yen. At a 115 yen to a dollar exchange rate, that's about $643 for ONE wheel. 4X and you're close to $2600 already. Then you gotta wrap some decent tires on them and a Dunlop SP9000 will cost $229 each (245/40R18) at the TireRack.

Also, it was designed for only one car in mind. The Nissan Skyline GT-R. Offset is probably way off for a Max.

These wheels are only sold in Japan as far as I know.

Let's face it, you can get some pretty nice wheels for a whole lot less money stateside.
