Re: Visiting K-Staff in Japan
Not sure but it's BBS RG 16in? Very 90s.. SVX S3 and S4 came with this wheel. It'd be better if it was at least 17in.... but 16 was the largest that time I believe.

The standard tire is the RE95 which Bridgestone developed for the SVX. Very cool, great job! |

$5201.41 http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amoun...rom=JPY&To=USD But the price is listed on the K-staff site at 399 MILLION yen (not thousand) check it out through translate) http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amoun...rom=JPY&To=USD That's only $5.2 million dollars I believe there is a typo in their ad and the actual price is 3,900,000 yen, which is a much more reasonable price of only $51,000 dollars http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amoun...rom=JPY&To=USD .

Re: Visiting K-Staff in Japan
Today the exchange rate is like 1 USD = 75 JPY so the 3990000JPY translates something like 53000USD. But don't worry, he won't sell it to anybody anyways. He just put it on the list for fun. You can visit the K-staff and see it and smell it though! He himself wouldn't even drive this one as it'd add more miles. Whenever he wanted to move this SVX more than couple blocks, he would put it on to the flatbed truck and move it..
Downside. You can never buy that lowest mi SVX S4 in the pic. Upside. There are tons of other mint S4 like that that you can actually buy at the K-Staff.

Re: Visiting K-Staff in Japan
haha...that's why you don't wanna rely on that auto translation so much...Trust me, most of the time the translation doesn't do a good job. Sometimes comepletely wrong...
The chinese charactor right next to the number 399 says "MAN". 1 MAN = 10,000. So that translation didn't do a good job... So 399MAN yen = 3,990,000 yen.
