It’s not Championship White. I know that because my car was painted CW and it looked nothing like that.

The Bee_R B5 wheels are pretty much the same as the M2 Hanbai DT-05R wheels… I have a feeling they just put a Bee_R sticker on them and jack up the price… as far as I know those Bee\*R B5 wheels are discontinued (I inquired about them in January/February). However you can still get the Hanbai ones, but they did change the offsets a little bit… you can’t get the 9.5" +25 anymore. They just have the +30 offset ones now.

Sorry for going OT 🙂

paint looks to be a flat white base with a blue tint, and a 85% gloss clear coat with at least one pearl in it maybe two, hard to tell without an extreme close up of a specular shot

wheels could also be the URAS wheels. But the Bee\*R sounds about right.
