URAS NS-01 Wheel *Group Buy* ... again

[MadScientist]

Thats right kiddies... its back!!
http://raretrick.com/store/images/products/7636_detail.jpg
These Rims are still Super Rare in the USA... seen a few e-bay attempts that failed baddly. Not to mention FedEx descided to play Warehouse Hockey with about 50% of the last Group Buy!

Anyway... here we go!!

Start: Now...
End: Sept. 30th (Sat.)
Minimum of 10 Full Sets (4) - or 40+ rims!!

17x 8 (+30)5 x 114.3
17x 9 (+30) 5 x 114.3
17x 9.5 (+15) 5 x 114.3

Chrome - $259
Silver - $199
Black - $199

Wheels are Cast (not forged) so your looking at about 17lbs each (give or take)!! Sorry - No 4 Lug, No Custom Offset, No Custom Color, etc..

Special Order from Japan! (Yes, it's a Sea Freight Order!)
100% Payment is Due at the End of the Group Buy!!

Shipping cost in the US48... I would estimate shipping at about $35 per wheel and it can get higher depending on location, it can also go lower due to bulk... shipping will be quoted when the product arrives and is packaged accordingly!! Shipping will not be charged untill then!!

Only orders placed over Rare Trick website will be counted!! Not Gauging Interest or Counting Hands!!
Place Orders Here!!! http://raretrick.com/index.asp?cat=1621&Page=1&Display=Yes&Back=Listings&ProductsID=7636

They look very similar to these...But mine are DT-05's

[OptionZero]

are you gonna stock any of these?

[Edgar]

damn those are sick!!!

[AzNCmB]

Very interested, you have pm....

do these come with lug nuts, center caps, or valve stems?
I visited uras.co.jp and the chrome wheels are 19,800.00 JPY= $170.784 USD, silver/black is much cheaper....i guess you gotta make profit to0 huh? pretty good...Im still interested!

[Slidin240Wayz]

Of course he has to make profit. I support Drew on this one. It's worth the wait. They have a really nice offset. They are also rare in the US and I have only recieved positive comments.


Front: 17x9 +30 with a 10mm spacer to clear coilover.
Rolled Fender and relocated harness. You will hit fender well at full lock.

Rear: 17x9.5 +15
Pulled fender. I overdid mine, but a roll is not enough.

[MadScientist]

Carlos - Thank you for the Pics... Rims look awsome.
(note* the DT-05 are not the same rim... URAS spokes are thinner)

here is another pic...
http://login.thewebadmin.com/sites/raretrick/files/dir/ns-01.jpg

Also, I will say this to anyone & everyone... If you think for one second that you can get these wheels for this (19,800.00 JPY= $170.784 USD)... Go Right Ahead and Order it Yourself from Japan!!! Wheels can be shipped EMS (postal) for about $600+... Sea Freight will still take forever and still cost more than what I am offering... not including Bank Transfer Fees/ Customs/ Bond/ Brokerage/ etc... Sorry but people really dont know what it takes, or cost, to Import products.

Wheels do NOT Include: Center Caps or Lug Nuts.
Wheels DO Include Valve Stems... last Group Buy some were missing... some were installed, some were packed loose.

Will I stock these??... hmmm... lets see how this Group Buy goes first!! :bite:

Thank you
Drew

[AzNCmB]

ok, foxfire was messing up...I tried IE and it works...


order submmitted :)

[sw20>>s14]

i just tried it for the hell of it and didnt have any problems...i mean, its pretty straight forward...

drew,
i noticed that you guys still list the 5zigen gheyphoons in 17x9 +15...i realize that theyve been long discontinued, but i still try my luck every now and then...would you still have any hiding or collecting mold by any chance?

[blackflag_Rms13]

Oh shit... again... I'm sooo fucking down for a set of these...

[Frosty_spl]

Will you be able to get teh 18s in at a later date?

[Slidin240Wayz]

no 18's unfortunately

[MadScientist]

AzNCmB - Thank you for the Order!!! You are #1.

sw20>>s14 - I thought I took the Typhoons off... oh well, sorry not a chance. I still like those also.

Frosty_spl - URAS does not make these in 18s... only 17s... only 5 lug.

blackflag_Rms13 - Only orders placed over Rare Trick website will be counted!! Not Gauging Interest or Counting Hands!!

Peace
Drew

[Ricks15]

There isnt a 17X9 in +15 in Silver.

[AzNCmB]

There isnt a 17X9 in +15 in Silver.

I dont think so, what ever size wheels are available are here (http://www.uras.co.jp/syohin/wheel.html#)

[Frosty_spl]

oops i guess i was thinking about the new 18 dt05s. :doh:

[MadScientist]

Ok thats twice someone has mentioned (Nismo Knock-off) DT-05s in here!!
:hammer:

URAS wheel have nothing in common with that crap other than 5 spokes... if you can't stay on topic with the Group Buy, then don't post!! :nono: Sorry to sound like an ass but this is not a comparison thread.

URAS Wheel Sticker Set...
This is not something URAS offers with their wheels but I feel makes the wheel stand out more.
48mm x 400mm Metalic Blue D1 version - URAS logo
Can be placed behind the spokes on the inside dish... similar to the old Work Meister S2.
Cost $100 for set of 4.
I will add this to the site for those interested.

Peace
Drew

[AzNCmB]

what happen if 10(40 wheels) orders are not filled?

[MadScientist]

what happen if 10(40 wheels) orders are not filled?

Hence, a GROUP would be BUYing a product that is marked down for volume... only the product is in Japan, and it cost a crap load to ship... so there is a limit placed on the sale... If the limit is not matched, then the product is no longer discounted and/or offered.

Its simple really... No 40... No Group Buy... all for nothing really... such a cruel world... Don't worry... Its not like it hasn't happened before...

Tell a friend... sell a kidney!!

Peace
Drew

[mendozasport]

drew i might do another set
here are some more pics

sizes are 17x9 + 30 with 15mm spacer no pull very light roll....you must relocate harness or install METAL plate to protect it
rears are 17x9.5 +15 also very light roll
225-40-17 front and 235-40-17 rear
rears wieghed with tire 32lb fronts with tires 30lb plus or minus some ounces

[water]

Any way to get a set NOW? I'll pay extra or whatever...I've been waiting for another of these group buys but I need a set of wheels yesterday so a 3+month wait won't do. Used or not. lmk

[RegularKouki]

water - what color and size are you looking for?

[MadScientist]

water - If your willing to drop $600+ for EMS shipping from Japan, and still take about 2 weeks. Then I can get you a set, NOW.

Oh yeah, No Thread Jacking... send PMs if your looking for Used.

Stay On Topic!!

Peace
Drew

[soon2beSIL80]

so if order is put in next week or so, how long till delivery? 2 or 3 months?

[MadScientist]

If your not up for the wait then dont bother!!
Last time we pruchased all of URAS stock + some that had to be produced. This will take awhile and I'm not going to get anyones hopes up and post an ETA.

Peace
Drew

[vinhisbored]

wait so.. can you explain this to me.. this group guy is going on until sep 30th, then it ends. let's say by that time you have enough people buying these wheels.. how long exactly will it take to get shipped here, and if i were one of the people that bought a set, when would they be at my door step?

[mr_240sx]

now those prices are per wheel right?

[nonissan]

why is everybody getting high offsets for the front and then adding a spacer? wouldn't 17x9 +15 all around be best..?... that way you could rotate also... thinking about maybe doing this, but want to be sure on size.

mr_240, yes, that price is per wheel...

Reread it. Only 17x9.5 comes in +15. 17x8 and 17x9 only come in +30.

The reason most places that Import from Japan say 8 weeks (MINIMUM)
1. Money Transfer - 3 days to 1 week
2. Made to Order Products - 2 to 4 weeks
3. Collection of Parts - 1 to 4 weeks, depending on processing.
4. Loading or Packing - 2 to 3 days
5. Schedule Sea Freight - this wait is unknown normally about 28-32 days... basically wait for the correct boat to port, clear Japan customs before loading, etc..etc.. alot of stuff we have no control over!!
6. Port in US and unload, then wait to clear customs - 1 day to 4 weeks depending on how Customs feels that day.
7. Transport to warehouse, unload, inventory, check damage, repackage, label to correct buyer, collect and schedule shipping to buyer!!

Anything can happen... Please, do not make any assumptions on shipping time... This will take awhile and I'm not going to get anyones hopes up and post an ETA.

*************************************
These wheels look like they have high offsets because of the concave design... it doesn't matter if you have 8", 9", or 9.5", the Face looks the same.

These wheels and offsets are made for the Silvia/ 240SX.

8.0 (+30) is a standard front size & offset.
9.0 (+30) is a standard rear size & offset.
9.5 (+15) in the front... get 20mm fenders and dont worry about eating tires & running crazy camber!
9.5 (+15) in the rear... requires a bit of rolling but nothing insaine (DIY is possable).
Fro those of you who plan on racing, drifting, etc... its better to run the same size front and rear... this helps balance grip, and makes track day a little easyer.

Peace
Drew

[CMO]

Can I order just 1 wheel? I got a set in the last group buy and I still haven't used them yet. I wanted to get atleast another wheel to have as a spare.

i'm sorry for asking, i don't have any experience with wheels/offsets as that's an area of my car that i've yet to hit. but let's say this.. (i'm sure many of you will have an answer for me). these wheels do look great. i'm thinking about the whole 17x9.5 +15 offset ALL AROUND. i have a 98 kouki, so how would that work? could i make it fit without having to get wider fenders, but without rubbing?

[MadScientist]

CMO - Prices are per wheel so if you need just one, thats fine!

vinhisbored - 9.5 (+15) all around you would need to roll (slight pull) the Fenders to make fit... you may loose turning radius and have inner rubbing on the front.
http://webadmin.mississippi.com/sites/raretrick/files/dir/wheel%20%20tech.jpg

Peace
Drew

[OptionZero]

To fit 17x9.5 +17 on my S14, I ran -3 deg camber in front and -3.5 deg camber in back, fenders rolled all around, fenders slightly pulled in back. The tires were 235/40/17 f, 245/40/17.

If you went with a 235/40/17 all around and didn't go too low, you could probably get away with just a roll and -3deg camber all around, maybe less negative camber.

[MadScientist]

You guys forget about this or something???
Is no-one interested in these wheels anymore??

drew....the wheels on the 180 looks different...
can you confirm?

[MadScientist]

180sx has smaller aero kit (N+) so its sitting lower making them look like 18's... they are also Chrome. The S13 has a Bigger Kit so its not as low and the wheels are Silver.

Angle and closer image... photo trickery... its the same wheel.

[Slidin240Wayz]

People, buy your rims now...Make it happen! Whip out the CC.

[dj_hype]

hey drew, i met u last night at npr (dude with the r33). i haven't done a gb yet. when do i get charged? right away or when the wheels come in? thanks man.

[MadScientist]

100% Payment is Due at the End of the Group Buy!! (Sept. 30th)

Read everything in this thread that I have posted so you know what your getting into. You never did a GB is not a big deal, but a Special Order from Japan does take time.

So far Kim is the Only order.
Everyone drooling but no-one putting out.

Peace

dam, that's how i felt bout the young girls last night... :drool:

ok, sorry about thread jacking...

people! buy!!!

[TUnity2]

ill buy them kim, just give me the money.

[billgerth]

so I was looking on your website like 2 weeks ago and saw that these coveted rims are back and flipped. But now i read this and you say that they are only available through group buy. Is the group buy conducted through raretrick.com? some clarity would help so I can either buy off website or be placed on the group buy list

[Dr. Moreau]

like i said the other day drew... if only they made them in bronze.

I'm pretty interested...I've always loved these wheels

how much do they weigh in 17x9.5 chrome?

[MadScientist]

Wheels are Cast (not forged) so your looking at about 17lbs each (give or take)!!

Its only the 8th so if some of you guys are holding out till the end, thats fine, but if this doesn't go through prices will be raised greatly, and I will not do this GB again... ever!!
:werd:

[CMO]

well I'm gonna order my 1 spare wheel that I need if the others come through for the other 39 wheels.

[MadScientist]

I have 1 set of 4 on order now so thats 36 remaining wheels.

Several people are interested but not seeing any orders.
:blah:

Peace
Drew

[S14-270R]

i would have to say that the problems people could be having (me being one of those people), is that;

1-product shipment to consumer is extensive. makes sense, so im not complaining that much about it. special orders are a bitch some times, arent they?
2-lack of shipping cost. personally, im doing a full 5-lug with full 300zx brake conversion all around. i wouldnt MIND paying 700+ for all 4 rims. but, i want to know how much shipping costs. i get stuff flown in from other countries every now and then. so, i know how expensive some thing that weigh as much as these (and packaging requirements) must cost. i know its in a group buy, hence making it cheaper. but, SOME SEMBLANCE of cost for shipping it would probably have a more positive effect on the group buy purchases. it would just help if the costs were more aligned.

think about this from the customer point of view a little more. as a supplier, you are running the risk of not having the product to sell. as a consumer, we run the risk of unforeseen costs--that doesnt sit to well with most of us. of course, everyone else could just be shooting shit and not really be able to purchase them realistically. if i had to wait about 8 weeks, i could possibly purchase them, but the shipping cost is my main concern.

Ry.

[MadScientist]

So basically customers can't do basic math off the #'s I have already provided in the first post?!? :bite:

OK OK lets break this down a little more...

Chrome - $259 x 4 = $1034.00 + 3% Handling/ Insurance = $1065.02 + $35/ Wheel Shipping ($140) = Grand Total $1205.02
Silver or Black - $199 x 4 = $796.00 + 3% Handling/ Insurance = $819.88 + $35/ Wheel Shipping ($140) = Grand Total $959.88

3% Handling/ Insurance is Caculated automatically over the website when the order is placed.

$35/ Wheel shipping ($140) is the MOST a Customer will have to pay! Granted that only applies to the US48 because FedEx considers Hawaii and Canada an Export and I have to request shipping cost per zip code, that only applies to a limited time frame. This is why I have posted that shipping will be quoted when the product arrives and is packaged accordingly!! Shipping will not be charged untill then!!

Also... Customers Do Not Pay International Shipping... International Shipping is Included in the price I have listed for the Product. The Group Buy Price is established off a 40+ wheel order... US MSRP will be Higher!!

Dealers do consider customers when making descisions.

Thank you
Drew

[fliprayzin240sx]

I just ordered 8 for my S13..so now its down to 28

[Ian]

If you ordered 8...wouldn't it be down to 28?

[AzNCmB]

it's actually down to 31....

i told drew that i retracted from the gb....so my 4 dont count, some other guy bought one wheel as a spare+fliprayzn's order of 8...

[MadScientist]

fliprayzin240sx - I have your order for 8 wheels... awsome... thank you.

AzNCmB has canceled but for good reason.
CMO has not ordered the single wheel as of yet so I can't count it.

Those of you whom are interested in these wheel should stop worring about the #s and place orders... NO-one is being charged untill the End of the GB... if the GB doesn't go through, then you wont be charged!

17 days & 32 wheels remaining...

Peace
Drew

[fliprayzin240sx]

if the GB doesn't go through how much am I looking at paying

[MadScientist]

if the GB doesn't go through how much am I looking at paying
Being that you actually ordered from the Group Buy I wll try to keep the price as close to the GB as possable.

Peace
Drew

[billgerth]

when i went to the group buy section of raretrick, it didnt seem any different than by simply going to the uras section and clicking the rims. is that supposed to be the case or no? also, before i place my order, i wanted to know if you think i can fit the 9.5 on the rear of my 89 hb with about an inch of roll? it doesnt seem like it will be a problem but figured you might have a more definitive answer

[OptionZero]

Depends how low you go, and what tire.

235/40/17, some camber, and not too low and you should be able to do 17x9.5 +15 i think

[fliprayzin240sx]

you should be able to put 255 40's on there with an inch of roll no problem, maybe even more..

[billgerth]

yea i was just kinda worried about tire rub and brake/coilover clearance. brakes are stock now but looking to upgrade in future. i did the math and it said it should be cool but just wanted some verification. thanks. hope this gb goes through cuz i have been jocking these sicne the last one

[MadScientist]

the listing in the GB section and in the URAS section is the same... makes it easyier to change the listing back, and makes sure people are ordering at the GB price... less confusion... for some. :Owned:

Peace
Drew

[billgerth]

ok well i am waiting for some rims to sell so I will place or closer to the 30th since i am assuming you will take out the money when the order is processed and I cant afford it at this moment. how many people have ordered so far?

[dj_hype]

yeah, can we get an update on how many wheels have been sold and how many need to be sold?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Is the price per rim or for a set of four?

[Itchyfin]

$199 for one silver or black rim and $259 for one chrome rim

[allstar]

will these clear the rotora big brake kit?

[sr20drft]

I've wanted these wheels for such a long time, too bad I already picked up a different set of wheels........ maybe next year :)

[billgerth]

too bad only like 4 of us have actually made an attempt to buy them and this gb isnt gunna happen. Godamnit i want these so bad im down to pay another like hundred a wheel. Let us have them drew!!!

[OptionZero]

would it be too risky for Raretrick to buy the difference (to get to 40, which i'm assuming is a calculated number of wheels) and hold them in stock?

[Itchyfin]

That would be nice that way people can save up more money to buy them..
I hope they are thinking about doing that..

[MadScientist]

Yes I could consantly keep stock comming in on these but then they would be the new FN01R-C or DT-05... Its URAS... Its Rare... and I'm not a normal dealer whom wishes to whore out a product!! Thought you guys whould have known that by now.

Special Order is for a reason... if you want it bad enough... you will wait... you will pay! The first NS-01 GB sold over 40 wheels... the Second sold nothing... This is the Third attempt, and its not looking great but at least there is a few sales.

ORDER... thats what I have to say about how many wheels are on the GB right now!! It you want it... PLACE an ORDER... I am going to do everything I can to get the wheels to you at the GB price. I am going to source a different shipping method to keep cost down. I am making very little off this to give you guy an awsome price and if anything goes wrong I could be in the negatives, like I was on the First GB.
*Sea Freight would have been reasonable for the 40 wheel GB.
**EMS is Postal Air basically but for (4) rims it cost about $600-700... not reasonable.
***Postal Surface shipping should be significantly less than EMS, but it takes as long as a Sea Freight... and I dont have pricing yet.

allstar - +15 will clear Big Brakes... I believe the +30 will also but you may need a small spacer.

billgerth - Order...:werd:
dj_hype - Order...:werd:
fliprayzin240sx - Order... you know you want the Black...:werd:

You guys stop putting your faith in the other customers... I am the one who will make this happen!!
Peace

[billgerth]

i am on it right now. everyone else do the same! you could be one of only like 30 people with this in the us! how much more dope can it get?

[billgerth]

[Foreva180]

[billgerth]

The Group Buy did not produce enough sales... as of right now I am looking into chepper shipping methods from Japan... possably having the products shipped directly to the customers... as of right now, cost are too high.

EMS - $600+
SAL - $400+

I am holding all the GB orders at this time.

Thank you
Drew

[billgerth]

well thanks for the update. are those prices the shipping alone or is that the price of each rim with shipping factored in?

[Sir]

thats the cost of getting the wheels to US.
add price of wheels
add shipping in the states.

I am pretty sure that is the shipping price directly to you.

WOW! now bulletproofautomotive is selling these and they can guarantee that they will be shipped at most like 200 hundred dollars and there is no minimum cuz they do bi-weekly container runs.

[kognition]

BulletProof Automotive = real buying power :bigok:

Mike... stick you nose in another resin bucket.

Obviusly you missed the part where I am working to cut out shipping products from Japan to my location, then to the customer... instead it would be shipped directly to YOU, the Customers, from Japan!

But if everyone wants to fall for BulletProofs BS then go ahead and learn for yourself, but consider one thing! Mackin Industries doesn't even do Bi-weekly or Bi-monthly containers from Japan, so believe what you want from the self proclaimed INGS USA.

All I ask is for an update every couple of days or at least once a week, as well as the price you are trying to get. At this point, and I think I speak for some of the others, I mainly want the order placed asap because the wait for them to be produced and shipped and everything is already long enough. thanks.
p.s. I sent you another pm drew.

[kognition]

Sorry Drew, you are absolutely right. No resin today though. Track day at Laguna Seca in the morning. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :fawkd:
Finally get the S14 running yet?

Alot of what I have been working on is like starting all over, like it was 10 years ago. New contacts and testing them to see what to expect... it is taking time and I dont have any solid info other than what I have already mentioned... shipping is way to high to have the product shipped to the customer right now.

I am holding the orders but no-one is obligated to stay. I will deffinatly notify everyone of the cost before any transactions are made.

This is an overall change for my company not just something I am doing for the Group Buy.

Thank you
Drew

Mike - I know you want to have an all out pissing contest, but just get over it... you want to see the car... look at the link in my Signature.

Drew, your a great guy, sorry we couldn't see eye to eye on business. Good luck with your new business plan. I know you will do well.
