Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what the P45Rs were modeled after. But these look even more concave! I think the set was $1600 shipped or something. I would have to guess that they do have them, since they only had one size in each color, but I'd check first, for sure.
I think they would definitely look amazing. And you NEVER EVER see these wheels, so you would be like a God. Haha
I've seriously considered buying all of these that the company has. No joke. They're that rare, IMO.

No problem, man! Definitely a great wheel to consider. :)

That's true, but I would think the concave would be the same. The 9.5" wheels are the ones that the 240 guys use, as far as I've seen, and the concave usually only changes with width with those types of wheels. The lowest offset I've heard of in them is a +25, which isn't too terribly different.
Might be something to research a little, I suppose. I haven't found a definite pic of a +38, but I'm kind of curious, too.

Yeah, I've loved those wheels for a long time. I just always forget about them because you NEVER see them.
The adapters should be here Thursday! Woo! :)

Haha, yeah, I haven't had nearly as much work lately! I've got a few things I can do now, though, so I'll try to get a few more things done.
I wanna get control arms, brakes, and a few other things before too long.
And you can't go wrong with a clean 5 spoke! :) That'd look good on your car.

The Bee-R5 wheels are one of my favorite JDM wheels. The Axis Hiros almost resemble those, not to mention the KDM F/L wheels as well.

Yeah, they're definitely clean looking wheels. I wouldn't mind having some! :)
My adapters came in yesterday! I'll try to get them on today, but we'll see.

Alright folks, I just put on the 10mm adapter and 2 5mm spacers on my pulled fender side just to see if it would work. The only problem is that my factory studs are hitting the wheel because the recessed area in the wheel isn't deep enough or the studs are too long, so it was keeping the wheel from sitting flat against the spacer.
I set it down and bounced on the door sill a little to get the suspension settled, then turned the wheel, thinking there was no way that an 18x8.5" +24 would turn, but...IT DID.
So I was going to drive it up and down our private road a tiny bit to see if it would rub. It did a tiny bit, but it kept getting worse, so I stopped and looked to see that a lug was laying by my wheel and the others were loose. They had somehow backed themselves off.
So I walked back to get a ratchet (note that I had only driven a few hundred feet), then I came back and tightened them. On my way back to the house (few hundred feet), they backed off AGAIN. So much that I had t stop and tighten them before going down my driveway. Once I parked it to jack it back up (maybe another 50 feet or so), they were starting to get loose again.
It looked AMAZING, and I am really pissed off that I didn't think of taking pictures, but I think I'll end up running a +29 or +34, at least until I can get some professional work done to my fenders. I just need to figure out how to get those adapters to work...
