E-Bay. Don't remember the seller's name, but if you type in "Japanese Flag" and "decal, sticker", you should find 'em.

***edit*** maybe I don't want aluminum, these things are around 80 bucks each in 15x7 and/or 15x8 and weigh 16-17 lbs each

Wow, no clutter on the workbench, nothing on the floor, no washer and dryer, two windows. A dream garage, and oh, theres a red Vette in there too. Only thing missing is a lift. I am so jealous. OK, I gotta know, what size adapters are you running for those Y2K wheels. I just bought 2.5" and 2.75" for my Z06. Bolting them on tomorow, MLK day.
