Thanks @cletus good information to have. You're definitely right. Before I go any further I'll look into blings suggestion. 

Archers springs in Takanini have made me new coil springs numerous times.

What did you get from the Hunua general store?

Cheers guys, food for thought for sure.  I’m certainly not in hurry, but it would feel like a slow death if I did buy wheels and had to wait 6 odd months lol 

Bumping this up as I'm not sure if there's a different thread for importing cars vs importing parts.

Sourcing wheels out of Japan, browsing yahoo and am likely to engage the services of Empire Imports.

Any other alternatives?  Not in a rush to have them, so container shipped is ok.  Don't want to be paying air freight expen$e.

No, that's for a croissant

Funny I've never looked at a 808 front very hard before, there's some neat details

Are the rectangular headlights a standard size or are they some hard to find specific to Mazda ones?

Yep, I really like em.  Both square and circle nose.  Square lights might be the same as the series 1 rx2 / capella front lights?  Not sure to be honest though.

IF (I'm dreaming) I ever have the coin to buy a 808 and it's been rx3'd I'd sell the rx3 nosecone and swap it back to a 808 front.

@_Matt's nice pics of @rot808's mean whip

The tiktok infamous crashed Rx7 from a few weeks ago is up for grabs

Looks like he's a big boy with 5 stud wheels though, so guessing big boy brakes too.

I'm sure 15" spec motoforms where a common sight on hiace vans and hilux utes, there may be hope for him.
