Search the Japanese wheel market.

Service fees cut across the board.

Small parts ¥5,000 (about $34, was ¥11,250). Wheels and standard parts ¥10,000 (about $68, was ¥18,750). Large parts by sea ¥20,000, seats ¥15,000 (was ¥31,250). A second item in the same shipment adds ¥2,500, ¥5,000 or ¥10,000.

→Every quote drops. To the US that is about $71 off a wheel set, $51 off a small part and $80 off a large part by sea.

Instant Quote covers every part now.

Pick from all the usual categories - brakes, drivetrain, cooling, lighting, interior, exterior - and get the delivered price. We send each part the cheapest way it fits, and show a second way when it costs about the same.

→Any part, to any of our nine countries, priced in seconds. You can put up to three items in one quote.

Links from five sites, not just one.

Paste a listing from Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, Yahoo Flea Market, Rakuma or Up Garage.

→Whatever site you found it on, the quote is one paste away. No link? Pick the part and type the price.

Lower fee on large parts by sea.

The service fee for a large part is now ¥31,250 (about $211), down from ¥33,750. The container line doesn't want wooden crates, so the packing work went down and the fee followed.

→About $17 off a large part. Nothing else about the sea route changes.

Pay by bank transfer with Wise.

Pay from your own bank with Wise instead of PayPal, and the 5% PayPal fee comes off. There's no buyer protection, so it's your call.

→Same inspection, same report, same 5% cancellation. Just 5% cheaper if you're comfortable paying by bank.

Ocean route to the US is open.

Bumpers, bonnets, full aero, engines, transmissions, seats and full exhausts. 2.5 to 3.5 months after we win it, duties included.

→Big parts that were too costly by air can now come to the US.

We now ship parts, not just wheels.

ECUs, meters, spoilers, fenders, muffler canisters, headlights and coilovers. Light items go by Japan Post EMS or ePacket, often cheaper than FedEx.

→One place for the wheels and the parts. Most small parts reach your door 1.5 to 2 weeks after we win them.

New flat service fee.

The fee is no longer 15% of the price. It's a set amount by item type: ¥11,250 (about $76) for small parts, ¥18,750 (about $127) for wheels and standard parts.

→You know the fee before you ask. Every wheel set now pays the same or less than before (a ¥150,000 set: ¥22,500 → ¥18,750).

Walk away after inspection for 5%.

You pay in full before we buy. If our inspection shows it isn't what you expected, cancel and we refund everything except 5% of the auction price (minimum ¥5,000).

→Before, the service fee was kept if you cancelled. On a ¥150,000 set, walking away now costs ¥7,500 instead of ¥22,500.

A price ceiling on hard-to-size parts.

For spoilers, fenders and headlights we quote a Japan Post price and a FedEx price, and hold the higher one as a ceiling.

→You never pay more than the quote. If the final shipping doesn't work for you, cancel for a full refund.

Inspection spelled out for each item.

For every item type we list what we check and what we don't. We don't run power-on tests or measure runout.

→You know exactly what our photos and report cover before you pay.
