I've checked out his website and he claims to only use WORK wheels, but those particular rims are definitely not WORK's...

I got the best screen capture I could from that video and they've got what appears to be an "OTM" sticker on the spokes... A quick google search doesn't turn anything up for me though... (Then again my rims have "MAZDASPEED" decals on them, soo OTM could be a dead-end lol)

Mine are "Raze R74" in Gold w/ Machined Lip (Manufactured by Ace Alloy Wheels, but sold under different companies over the last few years). Available in Gold, Silver, Gunmetal, Bronze and now in Matte Black w/ Red Pin-stripe.

They appear to be the same in every way when it comes to the style/design, aside from his being dual-fitment (which is or was available from Ace AW at least at one time) and his having a much more concave face (i'm guessing due to width and offset) Mine are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 w/ +35 offset and his are way more aggressive than mine :\

I left my center-caps out for a little bit and it helps them look a little more concave but I need to grab something to plug the hole for it to look "finished" so I'm using the center-caps for now.

The wheels are DTM Drift. Probably 17x10 +12 or +35 judging from the spec sheet. I have to decipher my dad's horrible writing at work all day lol, so that screenshot wasn't too bad.

Haha awesome... I searched "OTM" and "UTM" and never even thought of DTM. Thanks j8635621

After checking out their website, i'd say they are definitely manufactured by the same company as my rims. They just re-brand everything over there I guess for the NZ market, as they are selling Axis wheels, etc... as DTM as well.

Raze R74 = DTM Drift
Raze R84 = DTM Diezel Krank

Raze R74 is available in: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Gunmetal, Matte Black w/ Red Stripe
15x6.5, 17x7, 17x8, 18x7.5, 18x8.5, 18x9.5...
17x9 and 17x10 available for special order with minimum quality (sic) required. (HOPING they meant quantity lol)
Their offsets, depending on size I believe go from +42, +35, +25

DTM Drift is avilable in: Gunmetal
17x8, 17x9, 17x10
Their offsets, depending which width you choose go from +35, +28, +15 +12


Like j8635621 said, he must definitely be running the 17x10's. Damn they look aggressive!
