Enkei GTVs Where to get?

Hi All,
Is there anywhere besides Stillen to get the Enkei GTVs?
If you've ever seen the catalog (or the new Stillen Altima), you'll know the wheels I mean.

Any other source?

Call around to some other enkei distributors. Discount Tire carries Enkei wheels. See if they can get them.

Already checked there. No sign of the GTV.
It would appear that Enkei does several exclusives. For example, I'm not sure that the RP01 (available at discount tire) is available anywhere else.

I think the only way is to go through Stillen. Stillen has some deal with Enkei that those wheels are Stillen only in America. I have seen ads in Max Power UK of those wheels displayed as Enkei.

Dayam!! that's heavy!!!

But boy, do they look nice.

That GD you have for the Buddy Club wheels looks nice, but 17" wheels and tires cost too much more over 16" for me.
Why aren't there more inexpensive, lightweight 16x7 wheels out there?
At around 40mm or so, should even clear a fastbrakes/wilwood kit.
Even Kosei does 16x7.5 for 15.5lbs. Enkei RP01 is 16x7 but same weight. What would 16x7 Kosei or Buddy Club wheel weigh in at?

GTV's weigh 24.3 lbs in 18x8

Philpoe Stillen does have exclusive distribution in the US

I went through the trouble you're going through now....but I ended up getting them from Stillen in the end

Don't look at Avalon either...they couldnt give me a better price than Stillen Direct...they actually said the price I was getting was below their cost

comments on above

Ocassionally - Stillen as the main distributor will sell as a sale or overstock item. This does mean that on certain items, they may sell below dealer cost. A perfect example is the Maxima day at Stillen - They sell open stock at very low prices.

We have no problem with this. Continue to quote us as in most cases we can beat or worse case meet the quoted prices.

Regards
