its kind of just for future reference. i know for sure i want the wheels but im still contemplating the seats. i heard they are made for smaller people..i really like the styling tho. im about 6'2" 190 so i dono exactly how comfortable they would be..

I have a pair of infini seats, they do reduce leg room and they are quite tight. Im only 16 and i have to have my seat right back, although u could modify the rails. I've also got a set of the 16x7 infini wheels lined up to buy soon. The only way you could get these parts in america is finding someone that imports the jap FC's as the odd s5 with have a pair in them, but as for the wheels, im pretty sure they are very hard to find without importing an actual infini

What is the difference between Infiniti wheels and the vert wheels? They look the same to me.

Since much has changed over 2 years since the original post, I'd figure I'd help some of you out if you're SERIOUS about this...

There are third-party purchasing services all over the net.
I use BidsChoice.COM - notice "S" - through WheelChoice.COM.
Joji has taken care of me all the time.
I've purchased everything from Infini seats to wheels sets to Tein coilovers through them.

The other popular vendor is Rinkya.

Be aware of the fine print, cause it is NOT cheap.
A $3 part ends up costing closer to $50 shipped to your door.
Many of these vendors ship EMS, which is one of the most expensive options for shipping, but it does include tracking.
Shipping costs can be as much as half of the total puchase cost once fees are calcaulated.

as ted said, be prepared to pay out the ***. you have to pay shipping from the seller to someone in japan, then from that person to the states, plus their fees, plus the cost of the item. my seats cost just over $800 just for shipping from japan.

Yep.
I won my seats for US$120 off of YJA for the pair - missing right side recline bracket. :P
Since they were too big to ship direct out of Japan, they have to be cargo'd into USA and then reshipped from Cali to Hawaii.
With that all said an done, I paid right about $800 for the while shebang.
It was almost $400 to ship UPS from Cali to Hawaii.
For most of you mainland guys, you'd get a big discount there.
