Skyline wheels....

I know this question has been asked before, but I used search and nothing came up, and I don't remember the answers...Will the Skyline wheels fit on the max? If they do, does anyone know where to find them(other than Japan)? If i do find them, would it be cost prohibitive? I know that the Konig Verdict's look alot like them, as do many other aftermarket wheels, but I am looking specifically for these wheels. Any input is appreciated.....even from the smart-asses..haha j/k thanks guys

Go to a Volk Racing dealer they should be able to help you locate a set of JDM NISMO wheels.

Check out Jspec.com they use to sell skyline rims straight off a japanese skyline. I asked before and they said that they would fit and that they would stick out a little because the rims were wider than ours. If they sont sell them anymore send an email and just ask for the price and if your real serious they can get it for you still with original tire. I know this cause i use to order stuff for my 85 Corolla (Tureno AE86). Hope I copuld help.

I could probably get them but you had better be damn sure you want them. I DON'T want to be stuck with them.
