Spotted at my school. I'm pretty sure these are 14" or maybe 15"

SSR FL-II is available as 10". Usually they are used in old Minis. Other SSR wheels are also available in small sizes.

Classic Mini bolt pattern is 4x101.6 (4x4")

Since those Mitsubishi minitrucks used 4x100 and 4x115, (and mostly 12" diameter), so they must source them from other places.

But, you're right. There are a LOT of 10" wheels out there for minis (as well as 12" and 13")

Well, at least you've got the next step up, size-wise.

I dunno, but it probably has something to do with their size. They might be classified as something other than a car.

True. But I want one of these little goofy bastards. The roommate's said that next time he brings over cars from Glorious Nippon, if there's space in the container he might bring one of them along. Up on the Japanese car sites you can find them dirt-cheap. Lowest price we saw for an import-legal running and driving kei truck was a thousand yen. It needed the mandatory Shaken inspection though, which is around 200,000 yen. It doesn't need Shaken for export, though.

That can't be right. A thousand yen is like, less than ten dollars.

When it has to go through an expensive inspection to remain road legal, the value plummets.

Here's the cheapest one on Goo-Net right now: http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread…

She's a '93 Suzuki Carry 4WD 5speed. She's done 52,000km. The cost of it is 2000 yen. The cost after Shaken inspection is 102,000 yen.

How can you say "No" to a face like this?

This '93 isn't import-legal yet though. So let's find one that is.

Ah, here we go: http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread…

This is an '87 Mitsubishi Mini Cab 4WD 4speed. It's done 55,000km. and because it's older than March 1990 it has the 550cc engine. It's being sold at a dealership for 39,000 yen before inspection. So, for $323.95 USD this truck could be yours.

Wow that's cheap.

I know, right? The problem is the $1500-2500 boat ride it needs to take over here. Damn you Japan, having such cool shit and being on the other side of a goddamn ocean and shit.
