Far from my perfect £1000 wheel too, but £90 for 4, with good tyres?! £300 more to spend elsewhere while the debts mount up. Are they not alright, & good value for money?
FEI, wiki'd JDM:
The term JDM
Japanese domestic market (
JDM) is used to describe
Japan's economic market for Japanese-brand goods, chiefly
automobiles and parts. A similar term,
United States domestic market (
USDM) is used for US-market, US-brand goods.
In recent years the popularity of JDM auto parts within the United States and Europe has grown significantly as a result of the import tuning wave. Part of the reasoning behind this can be attributed to
drifting, a Japanese motorsport phenomenon that is gaining worldwide interest. The style in the US often refers to keeping the exterior of ones car with all "OEM" - original equipment manufacturer. JDM is considered more of a "clean look" as opposed to the popular body kits. As a substitute to bodykits Front and rear lips are offered from different companies such as
Mugen. The JDM look outlaws bright paint colors such as bright neon oranges and greens but welcomes more of golds, greens, blacks, and whites.
JDM vehicles often differ in features and equipment from vehicles sold elsewhere. For example,
Honda has produced many different versions of the
B18C,
B16B, and
K20A engines for various markets worldwide. Generally, engines intended for use outside Japan have been detuned because Japanese
Gasoline (Petrol) is of a higher octane rating than is generally available in the United States.
There are different standards with safety issues between JDM and USDM, some of Japans race models have less frame support, such as the front cross members or some of the doors, which are designed to save weight in Japan. Some of these differences would keep the vehicles from passing government safety standards in North America
