hehhe, i looked into the exact same thing over at the gtr.co.uk forums. Yep, they make 18" copies of the LM-GT4, about the only ones i know of besides Bee-R, but i'd say Bee-R B5's are a product all of their own.

I did come across some pics of Rota rims cracking at the track (at the gtr.co.uk forums) but didn't see any problems with the 'GTR' rims (i think that's the what the GT4 copies are called) Prob cost a crap load to get them out here mate. I recommend you stick with some Jap rims, get something forged :P

looks like we are on the same page, thanks for pointing out those Bee-r b5s they look nuts

Just thought id let you know, i bought some rota gtrs(p45r) for the front and rear of my r33 (x9.5" all round).....ive had em on for 2 years now, best rims ive ever had, never had any problems with them, and everyone comments on how good the rims look!!!, yeh theyre nismo lmgt4 copies, but not bad at all, and for 1/3 the price, i payed AU $1750 for a set of brand new 4 x 9.5" gloss black rims.

P.S: they are light let me tell you that much, mine weighed in at around 7-8kgs each, compared to my old dishes which were like 23kgs each...do the math...

i love em.

Steve, a mate of mine from the UK (wiltshire) has a set of 18 LMGT-4 copies on his GTR.

Although he said poor quality and deff second rate materials. He found this out after going over some road works (not like 2 meter holes or anythinh excessive) and it cause a crack in the rim, the tyre went flat and rim was bent and then took it too a specialist mag rim repairer and said it was unrepairable....

Could have been bad luck.... but after reading that I bought genuine nismos.... I had em up in a recent post. very nice, excellant quality.

But not having seen the rotas in the flesh its hard to compare.... but alls I can say is Nismo rims are The Business.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
