theyre forged and made by rays

depeding on what you were expecting to pay, thats about normal...you could spend $400 per wheel and get te37s or something for an alternative

check out ebay... you might be able to find a good deal on some other types there!

I know i can't afford $600 a wheel!

ditto on the p45's. They're almost identical and waaaaay cheaper. Good sizes too.

or for the Nismo wheels http://www.i-m-racing.com/nismowheels.html

BTW..anyone know where to get those dt05r's? I've been looking around and cant find em anywhere.

I don't want 18's and I don't want Rotas. I'm looking for the Uras or Bee*R wheels. Anyone?

Here's a thread where Smitty put the 350Z track wheels (forged by Rays) on an S13.

zerothread?id=145351

You can usually find a set of them on ebay for ~$1000, or even less with new/good tires.

raretrick did a gb on both uras and bee-r i think. but not sure how long it took him to get it to them. why don't you want rota? either way all of them are cast

but anyway if you want em shoot an email to raretrick or jspec and ask for a quote i guess.

To start with, I'd rather not buy rotas (history). Not all castings are the same. I don't want 18's.

Sorry, was just showing you 18's don't look overwhelming on an S13, as I thought the did until I saw those Smith_SR put on his. And they're the cheapest forged Rays you'll find in like new condition.

Good luck, and I'll keep my eye out, as I'm almost always looking on ebay for wheels/tires.

I think they are well worth the price for such a lightweight and strong rim.
