I have those rims in bronze and worked For American Racing/Motegi. Make sure you get them from a wheel place...DO NOT ORDER THME ONLINE. 95% chance you are gonna have a clear coat issue and if you don't getc them from an authorized dealer your screwed. Also ARE/Motegi only covers the face of the wheel for clear coat and not the "lip" and only for 90 days. I got mine for $50 a wheel and have been happy minus some minor clear coat damage that was my fault but how could I go wrong for 50 a wheel. There are alot of similar wheels out there for much cheaper..I would most likly go with soemthing similar maybe from ADR.
PS They use them on the drift car becasue they PAY AEM a TON of cash. It is a sold wheel that is hard to bend. Plus those drift cars are making more than enough power to spin that wheel.

Thanks for the advice... i know there are alot of lighter wheels.. but i like the style of these... alot of lightwieght wheels are very basic... i dont want overly flashly but something with a little character.. the power is not the problem either .. i currently have a complete rb26det longblock in my shop just sourcing out a tranny and a reptable shop to do the swap.. need to find a beater car to support while the swap is taking place... anyways.. any recommendations?
