Default Hatch rack for extra wheels

I know that awhile back I had seen a red z, with a rack on his hatch holding extra wheels. I can't find that anywhere! Anyone know who's it is, if its custom, where to buy etc??

Yes! What and how can I get that. Closest drift place is 3 hours away so getting friends to bring extra wheels is a chore lol

But in seriousness, you can probably easily get a ticket for driving like that, rendering your rear view mirror useless and rear vision 0%. Oh yea - looks like in the pic the car doesn't even have a rear view mirror. Be careful driving to your track with this setup.

Laws are different everywhere.

As long as you have side mirrors here, you do not need a rear view.

This is true. When I had my Jeep, in PA, it's only required to have sideview mirrors. Since I took my doors off, I had to get relocation brackets for them to drive legally.

The law in nearly every state requires two rear facing mirrors. As long as you've got your side mirrors, you're golden.

He probably has a rear view camera as well as it seems this isn't the first time he's done this. He seems to have the process down pat and has everything buttoned up pretty well there.

I wonder how it holds up though. The manufacturer say max load should be 50lbs evenly distributed. Even if you got some light wheel and race rubber it will be more than 40 lbs for each corner, probably closer to 50lbs. So throwing up two wheels with tires and you have exceed max load by 100%. Driving around town might be fine, but I sure as hell wouldn't trust to hold up for 3 hours at highway speeds...
