Default Motegi Touge on a Black 350Z

Looking to get the Motegi Touge my only concern is the front wheels are 18X9 with a +12 offset the rears are 18X10 with a +30 the tires I will be putting on are 245/40/18 in front and 295/35/18 in the rear. Does any one have this setup if so do you have any pictures.

MOTEGI TOUGE
Motegi's first purpose-built drifting wheel, the Touge (toe-gaa) is named after the famous Japanese mountain passes where the sport of drifting was born. Featuring a glossy painted center and diamond cut lip, the Touge was designed to withstand the rigors of racing sideways. Carry on the tradition by dominating the track. The Touge is available in 17" and 18" sizes in gun metal, glossy black and bronze. The wheel can be seen in action on McKinney Motorsports' and "Star Girl" Verena Mei's drift machines.

Touge Glossy Black

Touge Gun Metal


Touge Bronze



Part No. Size Offset Backside Bolt Pattern Weight
2178-8965 18x9 +12 5 1/2 5x4.5 26 lbs.

2178-7965 17x9 +24 6 5x4.5 23 lbs.

Agreed. First thing I thought of when I saw them since I own a SB of course! They do seem damn heavy though...

Can't wait to see them on...maybe I'll change my mind.

I think I saw those at Pepboys. Why don't you spend a little more and get Axis?

What "rigors" does a wheel go through while spinning without traction?
