I have the U.S. Wheel variant. They're $40 and come in a faux 3-piece with sweet ass black face/chrime lip. These (and most other American steel wheels) only come 14" in 4-lug. Mine are 15x8 -19 with 5x4.5", but I also have a pair of 15x10 -38...

bascically to butt in lol. i remeber when ranlet first got them and we did his rear conversion and to this day they still look hot. then when sean told me he was getting the diamonds on the s12(before i got it), it was just badass. im not getting different wheels, you cant beat how cheap they are if you were to fuck them up drifting or whatever. why worry in getting some expensive rims just to fuck them up on the track/street?

you guys are very opinionated, you know what they say about opinions though...
if i was building some prissy little "jdm" show car that i didnt drive i would go with some madtightjdm SSR's or something, if i was building a car to tear up and ruin tires on i would get the DRW's. its that simple. you dont have to worry about curbing them, or even people stealing them because their so ugly. how can you guys not see the positives?
and kenny, any high offset wheel is going to give your wheel bearings a run for their money, not just steel back spaced rims.

I agree with those who are on the function / form side. These wheels are built to take abuse happily. And while the super negative offset might ruin wheel bearings faster, it also increases the width of the car's track and gives added width for wider tires helping with grip.
At least thats what I understand, but im no driver, i just like to look pretty
