I just got mine two weeks ago. (I was looking for 9" but they are OOP so I ordered some 18" rims from HLJ)

Sad, but unfortunately I think it's true. I've gotten mixed responses from various Japanese vendors. Some say yes it's OOP. Some said they just don't have any and are not expecting any. One thing is for sure, all the places I hit for my kits and wheels, no one had any in stock.

It's strange for Fujimi to discontinue a wheel that's only a year old. They've got older wheels that they still produce.

Re: Fujini AVS Model 5's out of production

Classic way to choke supply to ensure any re-issues are bought up like wildfire. It puts Fujimi in a favorable position, almost guaranteeing sell-outs of any subsequent production run. And I bet Fujimi's confident that Aoshima won't re-release their AVS 5's first...

If I were Fujimi, I wouldn't be. In the past few months, Aoshima been slowly re-releasing all their 19" VIP wheels except for a few (which will probably be re-released early 2004). And from what I read in their news releases, they've been doing that because of public demand on their popular wheels. So you never know. And Aoshima wheels are better and bigger and cheaper.

That is weird. My friend just got his shipment in, and there are a whole bunch of them. If you folks are still looking for them. Check out Mechahawaii.com . He still has some at his retail shop.
