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!

 

You wont..... You gotta pay to play AND be baller...

maybe some axis shines used but even so still kinda expensive for a booboo *** wheel

 

check out the new xxr wheels, not a huge lip like you want but not expensive at all....


check out the thread "xxr wheels for budget" something like that

only cheap/wide rims you'll find are mustang rep's and xxr's, which my cheap *** owns both of those, lol

 

Pix??

 

google is your friend,

"XXR 521" is what everyone buys
and "MUSTANG REPS"

 

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.

 

Some MB Drifters, even has 'drift' in the name. 18x9.5 +15 @ $105 Each.

 

z on boss 338 reps

18x9.5 -4 all around no spacers

s13 with cobra reps

17x9+4 (20mil added) 17x10.5+27

my new wheels that will be going on the s13 shortly, xxr 526
17x9+5 (20mil added) 18x10.5+20

each of these sets of rims i bought new for between $500-640 shipped

 

i really like those mustang reps but i see them quite a bit. i'm looking into the xxr 521s...i wanna see how big the lips are on those pups and what they look like with a 0 offset...

 

man mb drifters looks good 4 the price might have to sell my oems and get those.

 

do u have a link to this wheel? they ones i find online look a little different.

 

the mustang reps are the most aggressive wheel with the most lip you're going to find for that price.

 

What all do you have done to your z? Drifting a z isn't cheap. Im really on the fence about getting a track car and bringing the z back to a comfortable daily. If I sell all my "drift" parts I could probably afford a complete 240...

 

^ dang, what all do you have that are "drift" parts...?

 

coilovers, and thats about it, lol. its a really fun/easy car to drift but i like daily'ing it too much to make it into the drift car i want

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.

 

^This

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...

 

^ this. If i get more serious ill get a s13 to beat on and tandem but for now im happy to just slide around and burn up tires.

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

 

Rota svn!!!! Their lips aren't crazy stupid fat but they look mean as hell
