you cant. you have to have discount tire call rota and order them. or you can call rota and order them yourself, they will just be more expensive.

ill just be the first to say that the pic of the broken rota has nismo written on one of the spokes.. Just sayin.. but then again it was probably some fanboy who just slapped a sticker on.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I tried to verify whether or not it was actually a P45R versus a real LMGT4...

But you can tell by the shape of the the extra holes that the busted wheel wasn't an LMGT4. And Bee*R B5 wheels only have 5 holes, so it couldn't be one of those. Could have been a Hanbai DT05R though:

But in all likelihood, it probably was a Rota wheel that experienced trauma which would have done the same to any other wheel as well.

Sorry to bump an old thread. Looking at getting these, any guys rocking these now?

I'm thinking 18x10 on my zenki. Will I need RUCAs first?

For what? 18x10+15 all around? I'm gonna say yes, negative camber required... unless you like your wheels poking out like 2 inches...

^^More Pics!! I like the way the 17x9's looks more than the 17x9.5. The 9.5's sticks out too much.

I just mounted mine yesterday. 18x9.5 +15 with 225/40/18 all around

I'll post pics when I get home from work. I need RUCA's to straighten out the negative camber in the rear and get a little more pokage.The front looks perfect.The wheels are gay and flatblack with a red stripe, but it's the only color they had in stock. I will be painting them white soon

so true-they look almost exactly the same!i went for the 006s because their size, price, and not EVERRRRYONE has them..-plus black with a 2.5" chrome lip should look good on my 2-tone

I really like how little work you'll need in order to fit them with some 235 tires... But I always keep coming back to my original plan of mismatched 17x9.5+12 P45Rs and Grids in Hyper Black with 245/40 all around. That's gonna take alot of work to fit, I think, but it'll be worth it...

I love the fact that the Bee*R B5 wheels only have five holes in the center rather than ten like LM-GT4's or P45R's. Too bad they're discontinued too...

P45R's have been on the market for about 2 years now. I haven't heard of any cases of them breaking or cracking. There was one picture that ppl like to toss around online, but that turned out to be an actual broken LM-GT4 from a bad hydroplanning accident:
