View Full Version : URAS NS-01 or SSR GT2 Wheels - Who makes similar?

I tried searching for this to see if it was covered but came up with a bunch of stuff I could use because it was either really old or not relevant, so forgive me if this has been covered please.
I am looking for the URAS NS-01, SSR GT2 wheels or something similar, I know the SSR's look slightly different but those two wheels are the look I am going for. I saw the Rota P45R's but there is something about them that makes them look funny and more like the bee-r's the way the spoke goes from larger to smaller, and I know the Nismo's look similar but that is also not what I am looking for.
Is there anyone else that makes wheels like this in good sizes and offsets?

I already said in the thread the P45R's look different, they are a thicker spoke.

Yea I have seen those before too but something about them just looks a little different.

CST D-Spec, pretty much the same thing as uras. Same sizes too IIRC.
An lmgt4 looks more like an ns01 then an ssr gt2 does. GT2 doesnt have the same amount of concavity as lmgt4 or ns01 in similar specs. As far as I know ns01 is a knock off of lmgt4's

If you want to be really picky just get some uras or ssr's then... If it were me I would get lmgt4; they are lightweight/forged.

Instead of looking for a wheel that looks like the ones you are interested in why not just buy the URAS or SSR wheel. Makes sense to me?

They look some what like these, http://www.bee-r.com/main/parts/wheel/photo/wheelsilver01.jpg
Those are Bee *r B5 wheels. If you're talking about those, good luck finding some haha.

I had SSR GT2's on my M3, and I was trying to find a similar wheel for my s13 but the GT2's aren't made anymore so I am forced to find alternatives or the "rare" occasion that the GT2's were made in low offsets. So I would have to find used GT2's.
Also I search for some of the URAS wheels and couldn't find any *currently* for sale, and noone selling them new.
Wayyyyyy too fuckin picky.
You sound like someone who likes to settle, I don't like to settle if I know its possible to get what I want so please gtfo.

No, you're just picky.
Uras, Bee*R, Rota are all just knockoffs of the LMGT4. Since the Bee*R's and Uras wheels will have to be shipping in Japan (if they're made still), you'd be eating it up the ass in shipping.
Really, Rota is you're only option since LMGT4 hotness looks "off" to you.

I have seen BEE R wheels in person, Nismo LM's, and Rota's, and I had the SSR GT2's on my car, there are definite differences in the wheels, I am trying to find a 5 spoke wheel with a smaller spoke design than the BEE R, Nismo's, and Rota's, if you can't see the difference sorry, but I can.

first time I've heard of
CST D-Spec
... just learned something new :0)
OP you should either get the Nismo LM's or give up, and buy these.

The difference in the wheels is the spokes are fatter on the BEE R, Nismo, and Rota's. I am not trying to be super picky, but if you look at the pic below you can see the difference, I hope this helps.

I think those CST D Specs are more what I am looking for, I dont even know where to get those though they dont seem to be available from searching google.

Even though you're being a bitch, why don't you tell us what size do you want?
Maybe post a WTB?
The wheels are discontinued now, so you're gonna have a tough time finding them, or you're gonna pay out the ass in shipping like OptionZero said.
I know someone with a set of 17x9.5 +15 in the URAS wheels.

Those 2 pictures you posted are of wheels of different diameter so I think that's confusing you. The spokes don't look any thicker in the center. If you like "thicker" spokes in proportion to the wheel diameter get 17" of any lmgt4/ copy and call it a day. You could even pick up a set of used 16" dt05r

The spokes are actually thicker on LMGT4s (and it's replicas: P45R, B5) when compared to URAS NS-01 which is actually a re-badged CST D spec.
SO you can simplify this down to two wheels.
LMGT-4
and
CST D spec
From my understanding neither are produced any longer (at least in 17/18x9/10 <et30), but it will be much much easier and affordable to find the CSTs.

I am not trying to be a bitch about it its just there is a difference, and I would rather have the wheels I am looking for. I wanted to see what was out there before I posted a WTB ad, I was hoping some company would make a wheel I could buy new, but now it appears I can only get those wheels styles on the rare occasion that they are posted FS. If your friend really wants to sell those wheels you can give him my info, but something tells me I shouldn't hold my breath.

:werd:
I have a set of CST's and thats what I thought the pic was. I think Hanbai M2's are still for sale in Japan pretty cheap in Yen but the conversion and shipping are a killer. Plus without fail ever couple of months someone is selling CST's here on Zilvia I think at least one of the sellers was in Diego. As far as being picky I'm picky, and I don't have an issue of people accusing me of it. I want what I want, and I'll wait to get it if need be.

Yes, it does, because there is no other thread asking these specific questions, and there is no specific wheel/tire forum to discuss wheels so yes, it does deserve its own thread.
We are on a message board for car enthusiasts, when did everyone get so offended when people ask questions about cars? What is it you all would like to discuss? There are thousands of members here who have things to talk about, there are going to be topics that don't interests you so if that's the case please just move along. Is it really that bad to ask a question if you see that something hasn't been covered?
What happened to this community?

NS01 over lmgt4 = fail.
That's like saying you rather get rota grids over te37s cause they look better. To each their own I guess.

Did you even read the thread? I could care less about any approval from anyone on zilvia, I was asking if there are other people who make wheels that look similar to this. You are obviously just trying to pick a fight.
I am going to send a request to get this thread locked at my own request, I already found the info I needed as seen in the thread if you actually read it. All this other nonsense is just people being ridiculous.
