I "want" to say that these wheels are URAS NS's...but...

1. I don't recall them ever coming in bronze2. The inverted design is too aggressive (which I like) than other pics I have seen of URAS NS-01 wheels....

So does anyone here know who makes these wheels?

a. I believe I found this pic on NICO somewhere....months months ago...b. Topless94 - cmon brotha! You the search king! help!

Thanks guys.

PS: Yes, I did consider posting this on the reg 240 forum....but that forum is refreshed rather quickly - so I fear the post will get lost and not be so effective. I'll post it in there when this post dies.

Wow!! Nice rims. I love those deep concave look. Unfornately, I don't think these are URAS NS-01. NS-01 has 10 holes, but wheels in your picture only have 5 holes on each wheel. You know what I mean?

Ah!!! I knew it and forgot all about it. Bee*R that's what it was. $266 each for the color wheel is not bad. Chrome is $355. S&H will kill you BTW. Don't you have to roll the fenders for 17x9 +25? I want to see some on your black vert.

It was right there on the site.

- Color Wheel (White, Silver, Bronze) 17 inch 31,290Yen(=$266) 18 inch 31,290Yen(=$266)

- Chrome Wheel (Super Chrome) 17 inch 41,790Yen(=$355) 18 inch 41,790Yen(=$355)

And I went here to convert to US dollars.http://www.xe.com/ucc/

Once I got a shipping quote for a set of new wheels from Japan, and it was 23,300yen(=$200US). Weight was 48kg, and it was via ship. It was door to door service and I didn't have go somewhere to pick them up. Are you going to go for 17 or 18inch bronze? Go for it! You will be the first vert in the US with Bee*R wheels.

Just an FYI, but you can't rely on the current conversion rate to give you an exact price on items from Japan... there's a couple other things you have to consider, such as a 5% tax on items sold by businesses (as opposed to items sold by private parties), and there's always a fee involved in wiring money. So it's usually better to just drop the last two digits from a jdm item's price to get a closer, general idea of how much something will cost you...

those wheels are awesome. they look familiar though... a few months ago there was a black s13 coupe/silvia featured in modified. i know it had wheels that were different colors like the one's in the original attachment, but i think i recall them having a similar design and i'm thinking that they might be the beer wheels... but i don't have that issue with me right now, i'll have to check it later.

I think all these 3 rims are designed after LM-GT4.

DT-05RURAS NS-01Bee*R B5

They all have 5 spokes and sunken looking which I love. B5 is the most aggressive looking. No matter what you get, they will look awsome on s13 vert.

yes, the wheels you mentioned are similar in design, though they very in degree of concave (how ever u wanna say it) I know the URAS NS-01 dont change the amount of dish w/ off set, and I dont the think B5 do either, though the B5 is most aggresive. The Nismo LMGT4s have 2 different designs, one for front (flat faced 5 spoke) and one for rear (dished 5 spoke like NS-01 and B5, but not nearly as aggresive)

AZ - I was thinking the same. Who are we kidding? We got verts - b/c we wanted a bit of a show look as well. Only a jackass would buy a vert for pure race value (it's not even the right platform...a coupe would be best).

so...why not spurge? why not chrome! sheeeet. I'm creaming in my pants as we speak when I think of these....

man...just a few more paychecks....skimmied off the top...and I should have these soon....

TIMELESS: You are right about the aggressive invertedness. These have got to be the most radical I have seen so far.

Agreed. Talked to rare-trick beore and you have to wait quite a bit. There are plenty of companies/individuals in Japan will ship a set directly to you if you pay commission and shipping. If you find someone who has an account with Bee*R, you can get them cheaper, but unfortunately most places won't tell you that they have an account with Bee*R even though they do. BTW, I've dealt with rhdjapan before on eBay and they are legit.

Must be very wide since it's sunken that much... They don't even look like TE-37s. Seen plenty of TE-37s, but these are the best IMO. I love white rims...
