How real enthusiasts find JDM parts outside Japan… and how to save $$$ on your build

Posted on by Konig Gfx

In this episode, we break down how to source authentic JDM parts from countries outside of Japan—and why places like Australia, the UK, and other global markets can be gold mines for rare and discontinued parts.

We also walk through the real-world process of importing JDM parts into the United States, including:

  • Where to look for legit overseas JDM parts.
  • How international sourcing differs from buying direct from Japan.
  • What the current tariff situation means for prices in 2025 and beyond.
  • Hidden fees, shipping considerations, and customs pitfalls to watch out for.
  • Practical tips to save money when importing parts the smart way.

Whether you’re hunting for OEM JDM components, rare wheels, or period-correct upgrades, this video gives you the knowledge to source parts globally without blowing your budget.

Posted on by Konig Gfx

In this week’s Behind The Wheel “Wheel Wednesday” podcast Scott (Konig Wheels , Marketing Director), Nick (Konig Wheels, Marketing team) and newcomer to the podcast, Daut (Konig Wheels, Sales Rep) poses the question… is it taboo to use JDM or tuning styled wheels on Euro cars. Of course, people do it, but do Euro purists approve? Is it about function and performance or style? What thoughts come from a “euro” enthusiast? Thank you for your support and for listening/watching!
