pick and choose
 
When choosing wheels and tire combos is it better to go over or below stock wheel and tire diameter for drift?

Buy the biggest, coolest fucking wheels you can afford, make them fit. Run tires with GRIP, not some shitty ass 460aaa refined dinosaur bone shit because they were $5 out of the dumpster at discount tire.

Rotas + nexens = XDC winning formula

rotas ftw.

the only china brand wheels i would run. i grenaded one on a curb, and it still held air for 6 months with half the lip missing.

This. I've seen the same happen with XXRs as well, and I'll plug those since they're Taiwanese I believe. :icon_tup:

Ive been thinking about rotas. I kinda like the p45 series.

18x10 rota Grid... all chromed out

fo show my nigg

Linguo415 01-08-11 08:24 PM

i like the deep dish on The d force and the offset is perfect but the spokes are not that good looking. Who else make a nice deep dish or deep lip rim?

RE Drifter 01-08-11 09:25 PM

I roll stock right now but it's your style for what you want, ya know

Linguo415 01-08-11 10:41 PM

I want the stock wheels. ive got some ugly enkeis i think em5. I dont like them. They are stock size though. they came on the car. Go fish.

You could get some bmw wheels and run adapter spacers?


My new years resolution is to stop giving a shit about running china turbos and fake wheels. Just focus on driving and kicking ass and not giving a shit if the car gets totalled or burns to the ground on-track. Anyone else with me on this?

backalleyracer 01-09-11 12:57 PM

thats been my philosophy forever :)

Linguo415 01-09-11 03:12 PM

Hmm bmw wheels? recomend a specific model?

Summit HEART 01-09-11 09:37 PM

fake it till u make it and then fuck it

driftfcbuckey 01-09-11 09:43 PM

20x9 & 20x10 M6 wheels.
i have the hookup on a set with 5x114.3 (FC) bolton spacers/adapters.

NoPistons! 01-09-11 09:43 PM

Just look around. There are a bunch. Mercedes is also something to look into. They've got some that look like weds farmas but without a huge lip. I think they'd look pretty cool on a seven with spacers. Especially an FD.

Hell no. My fc is costing me way too much to watch it burn!:icon_tdow:lol:

Daviticus 01-10-11 02:25 PM

^ That's how my first 8 Rx7s were. I stopped caring when I got this one for $200. :lol:

Linguo415 01-10-11 03:00 PM

awe see thats a different story. 200 id run it to the ground too. But this is my one and only T2. I have to rebuild so thats not cheap at all. ha.
