pretty sure it won't fit my car.

hope someone starts selling these 5 spoke BeeR copies soon, they are just too nice to ignore

You may already know im not sure, but Otomoto are selling the real thing. Going for 500 per wheel for 18s, have a squizz at http://www.otomoto.com.au/beer.htm if youre keen. BTW i have zero association with this company just saw them advertising in HPI (yes i know he owns the store and is the editor of the magazine too!!)

as much I love original products, money is still an issue for me. Guess i'll get them when I get a bettter paying job.

BeeR copies gonna be the the new implus now? Oh noes

hope not........i think the impuls dish look is still popular, heck even I was tempted to get some......but i'll be wanting some BeeR wheels in the very distant future.

why do you need copies? they are cheap as already. they cost around the same as a set of starcorps or whatever. $500 a pop is as cheap as your ever going to get for an 18 inch wheel that doesn't look like arse.

pretty sure the GTR size ones are 18X9.5. of course the Bee-R/uras/d-tek/driftek/whatever are all basically copies of the rays nismo LMGT4s. They are all cast, hence the low price.

edit: what site are you looking at stanski? in 18inch they ONLY come in 9.5inch.

B5 racing wheels

Bee Racing’s own five-spoke wheel as used on the Bee Racing D1 car. Available in two sizes, with 5x114.3mm PCD only. Silver, bronze, white and super-chrome are available to order. Call for availability as various colours are kept in stock.

17x9 +25mm offset $479 each

18x9.5 +25mm offset $499 each

18x9.5 +38mm offset $499 each

i too am a fan of the Bee-R wheels, but they are WAAAYYY to wide (at the front) for me, so unless they make different sizes, a copy or getting them fixed and narrowed would be the only option

Problem (like someone has mentioned) is that the Bee-Rs are built for GTRs only so there is no way the 17x9 (+25) will fit under the front guards of a GTS-t.

However, the Bee-R copies come in smaller rim sizes (17") with GTS friendly offset.

That's the main reason people go for the copies.

Anyway here's a Aussie seller where you can get the copies (D-Spec brand):

As you can see they come in 17x8.0" +30 which suit GTSs (and 200SXs etc)

However if you think the D-Spec brand is not good quality, you can also get Bee-R copies made by the trusted JDM brand URAS:

Funnily enough they are the same price as D-Spec!

who'd buy r34 gtr wheels when you could buy those beeR for 500 each

finally the r34 gtr wheels might be priced what they are actually worth. that is, around 1000$

you are living in a fantasy land. Bee-r rims are a CAST wheel. genuine 34 GTR wheels are FORGED. That alone accounts for a massive difference in price. Plus I am not 100% sure where the Bee-R wheels are made but the genuine 34 wheels are definately made in japan. They are standard equipment on a $100K+ supercar. Bee-r wheels are a relatively cheap, aftermarket wheel. there is no real comparison.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
