What rims to drift on...
Hey all, I've been getting deeper into this "drifting" thing and I've got a dilemma. I drive around on the 19" te37 knock offs which look really good on my car but when used tires cost $70+ per tire, can't afford to drift on them. I have a pair of stock 18s that I rock just at the track but it looks ugly 
I'm trying to find a set of inexpensive 18" rims with a HUGE lip and aggressive offset to daily drive and drift on. I'm looking to spend <$700 for all 4 rims so I won't feel too bad if/when I mess them up on the track. Lemme know/see what you drift on and some suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I don't like looking at vendor pictures of what they could look like on a similar car, I like seeing them on actual people's cars. Sorry for asking.

if you just plan on going to events to slide around and burn up a few tires and thats it, a z can be a great and relatively cheap car to drift.
but i want someting that i can tandem with and beat up and not care about it, which is why im using a 240.

Theres a lot of inexpensive wheels to drift with in good sizes and offsets, mb battles, xxr 527, rota grids, boosts, stang reps, varrstoens, etc...

I just find oem wheels on CL. find someone with crappy tires so that u can get it on the low.
