Would like to buy Yoshihara Design DY-37c rims

Does anyone know where i can buy Yoshihara Design DY-37c rims?

I purchased 4 of them last summer. They look amazing. Since then, 2 of them have scratches on them. I went to discount tire direct but nothing is in stock and they all say backorder.

I went to the Yoshihara website and sent them a message, no response.

I messaged them on Facebook, and they said they have some available to redrill and they can find out if they have my size. That was 2 weeks ago. No response since then.

Does anyone know what is going on with them? I searched on this forum and didn't find anyone selling anything in my size and style.

My size is 225x40x18, 5/100 offset.

It would be great if I can buy 2 of them. I love these rims and don't want to get rid of them.

Wait... You want to buy new wheels because 2 of your wheels have SCRATCHES?

Jesus... Would you throw your kid away because they come home with a couple scratches from falling off their bike?

Why not just look into getting your current wheels painted, if you're that set on keeping the same style, but need new ones because scratch

you could get those two wheels refinished for less than the price of buying one wheel.

I kinda agree with Cole here. That's really not a big scratch and not as bad as rock chips or curbing. Just ignore it and drive the shit out of the car and realize you now have fairly rare wheels.

yes. here is a picture of the other Rim that has deep scratches on the outer edge of the rim. this happened last year when I had to swerve because someone almost hit my car, and i hit the median.

i already tried to buff it out but the scratches are too deep. you can't get these scratches out. i need to replace it. obviously. painting them will make them look ridicoulous. so no.

Buy all, swap it up. Powdercoat or polish. Refinish your current wheels.


Either way those are your exact specs, so.... yeah. Figure it out. Those weren't very popular and don't seem to have been made in large quantities.

Looks like an easy repair.

that is still repairable and still way cheaper than buying new wheels... even as cheaply priced the wheels are to begin with. a competent wheel repair guy can make that rash look new again.
