these just arrived yesterday. R1 racing drift wrapped in some nitto tires. tell me what you guys think



(yes i need a drop.. that's my next project)

 

nice :}

 

looks pretty good. 18's?

 

Eh, they look small. I would have gone more aggressive.

 

I like them , split 5's are a good choice!!!!!!!

 

yeah they're 18's. 19's are heavy... but they look better in person. thanks for the comments =)

 

Wow those wheels are ******* awesome!!!

 

nice, I've always liked those

I think Stern makes the same wheel

 

Good choice!

 

hey thanks guys =D yeah i'm real happy with these. Took me 6 months to finally decide on a set of rims. hopefully no one jacks them *fingers crossed...

[QUOTE]

Are they heavier/lighter than stocks ?

 

i dunno, they weigh around 48 lbs each (rim + tire).. how much does stocks weigh?

 

meh. They don't look right to me. I like the rims, they just don't seem to be the right fit for an RX-8

 

~23lbs. If you can't find the weight of a wheel online then they usually weigh more.

R1s aren't exactly known as a good wheel manufacturer:

I'm not a huge fan of the style since the big lip makes the wheel look smaller. But to each their own. If you like it then congrats.

 

after the drop will look sooo much better

 

Tires are little bit on the bulbous side. Low profiles!

 

haha thanks for the tips. i had no idea R1's were laughed at.. i should read up more next time before i buy something. i liked the design so i guess i'll be keeping these for a bit.. hopefully the drop will do something

 

I respectfully say I do not like them. They dont look horrible but not my PERSONAL cup of tea. Like mentioned before though, as long as you like them then what the hell does my opinion matter

 

yeah i agree they do loook smalll however....slam....lower ur car and they will look a lot bigger...

 

droppped is gonna look 100X better

 

i respect your opinion =) yeah i'll get it dropped once i make some more money.. I'm not regretting getting these rims, but it's kinda disappointing to see how bad of a rep R1 has. I was looking at axis hiros before these, but they were a bit pricey for me.. hehe oh well

 

Nexen tires are not Nitto (fail).


Cheap wheels are cheap... but if you like them then you rock em!

 

after you drop it its gonna look great.
