Source for old school 5x100 JDM wheels?
I am looking for some older Work/Volk/SSR wheels, but 5x100 is very rare, let alone with the right offset. Do any other cars use this pattern? Here are a couple sites with lots of wheels, anyone know of others? I found these on Google.

In the 90's, most Subarus and Celicas (and other fwd Toyotas) came in 5x100. Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi never used 5x100 to my knowledge. Consider aftermarket VW wheels (although not JDM). 5 lug Golf/Jettas from 92-05 were 5x100, and their offsets fit well with Toyotas. Work, SSR, and Crimson (Racing Sparco) made wheels for 5x100 VW fitments.

Thanks for the info, there are a few sets among those sites, but nothing I really want. I'll just have to be patient I guess.
In my dreams I'd find a set of original Racing Hart Type Cs but I doubt that's ever going to happen.

Mackin Industries (who is the offcial US importer/distributer of Rays, Advan, and other brands) is going after smaller shops who import used wheels from Japan (like Memory Fab, Takumi Project, etc). these shops are ruining Mackin's sales of new JDM wheels. I presume theyre targeting shops who import the same brands of wheels that Mackin sells new.

Just wanted to say that after months of watching RBMotoring.com, I finally found some wheels I like and bought them. They should be here this week. From my experience that site has the best selection.
