Check Out The Pictures Of The Wheels From R1 Racing
Hey guys did some research for you on the R1 Drift Wheel and the R1 Hype
in 20" for the 350z...check out the pics below.
This is the R1 Drift in 18" Mass Lip fitment on a Nissan Silvia featured
on the cover of Super Street Magazine. The R1 Drift is landing for 2008
with an application specifically for 350Z and G35.
This is a pic of the 20x10 with a 5" lip that will go in the rear of the
350Z and G35.
These are customer pics of 350z or G35 all with the R1 Hype in 20x8.5
(Front) and 20x10 (Rear). This wheel is made specifically for the 350Z
and G35 application.
With Stainless Steel Chrome Lip...
With Black Lip and custom color matched accents...

The Lemans Sunset 350z is mine, I really like the way these wheels ride on the car also the weight on a 20" is incredibly light for a usual 20" wow I wouldnt have thougt they would be so light.

Its made of gravity cast aluminum which most manufacturers used compressed cast aluminum. Its like a new technology with a lip thats stainless steel which is very resistible to certain weather conditions snow, rain, etc..unlike most chrome wheels corrode with the salt in the snow.

the yellow g35 has Stoptech 14" BBK front and rear....so yes they will clear BBKs
well, they will clear the Stoptech 14" kit. I cannot comment with absolute certainty about other kits without first knowing their measurements

as far as strength, most wheels manufactured today are made as strong as you will need for everyday driving, including the potholes you find in Cali and in NY.
these wheels have been tested and they are strong enough to supprt 3800 lbs of mass moving at over 140 mph

^ I hope not.
and for anyone who says you cannot notice wheel weight... you are a moron and obviously have never tested it. and anyone who says 'every' wheel made today is strong enough is talking out thier ***.
I am not going to bother to get into it, because you are pushing these wheels, and that is fine. have fun. they are ugly, cheap ghetto looking wheels.

The only thing worse than a 350Z driver riding on cheep wheels is one riding on his high horse. To each his/her own. Not everyone is out to have the fastest possible Z on the street.

I am not on a high horse because I have forged wheels. at all. I have no problem with quality cast, inexpensive wheels like Work or Enkei/Advan.
This company is nothing more than a ripoff of these other companies, then you have people saying that weight isn't noticeable, they are quality made (gravity casting is not 'quality'... I would almost consider it the cheapest), etc, etc.
for example:
look suspiciously like these R1 rims:
(and I could do this for EVERY wheel they have on thier site)
the simple fact is these are horribly cheap knock offs of quality wheels. did they buy the molds for unpopular fitments of these to reproduce? I don't know and don't care.
I don't know who ralfrubio is but this screams 'PLUG'. and he does work for a wheel sales company. so if he is soliciting sales without being a vendor... yeah, not cool. and the yellow G35 in the pictures sporting a decal is Drsufus so his opinion is obviously biased as he is most likely financially sponsored by the company 'R1' or someone who gave him those rims.
...do I need to continue?
