I have used okshon.com to bid on hard-to-find parts and wheels for my 560SEC AMG.

Note this is NOT for the faint hearted, and this is NOT for the budget minded !

Takes PATIENCE to search Japan Yahoo auction for the right rare items, PATIENCE to confirm thru Okshon that the item is indeed correct, and MONEY to successfully bid and PAY for the high transportation cost to the US.

My result so far : 1 set of used AMG 3pc rims, great original condition, hard-to-find staggered width front/rear with correct offset for my 560SEC AMG, USD$600+ USD$400 for airshipment to the US....2nd set of wheels AMG 1pc rims, used but great original condition, USD$220 for the wheels and USD$230 or sea shipment to the US.

Again, not for the faint hearted, and since I do do a lot of business with Asia, I am used to the communication-in-Simon-says-basic-English...

Japan Yahoo auctions have a good amount of AMG wheels and body parts that come up ... but buyer beware you have to know what you are getting into...in Japan it's on the buyer to know what you are doing, and not on the seller's shoulders...

Some great car's do come up... but finding a way around the US import regs/cost's is another long term issue for me to solve...

Good luck !
