what do you guys think of these rims, i plan on putting two in the rear and maybe ssr meshes in the front.

sorry but I'm not psychic:sly:

A pic would help:smile:

damn pics didnt post.

That's better:smile:

look good

Why not put 2 on the rear and 2 ON the front of the same rim? :wink:

i'm a fan of the mis-matched rim look...but i don't think those would couple too well with SSR meshes. seems like 2 completely different types of wheel. i want some SSR Meshes bad...:bloated:

my friend just bought a pair of impul meshes for 4,000 yen which comes out to about $35, i was hoping to get them but he got it first, kinda mad me mad when i found em and asked the guy how much, oh well i guess i shouldnt have slept on the deal.

Hey, can you hook Brian up with SSR meshs lol

Anyone see the Yashio Factory S15 in Super Street last month? It had Model 5's in the front and RG's in the rear...or vise versa...i can't remember. Anyway, that look is hot. I've been seeing more and more drift cars with mismatched rims. Am I the only fan? BTW the Impuls are pretty nice. I have a set of my own...in 1/24 scale.

Mismatch wheels are awesome, especially having bronze and black ones :icon16: .

another drift trend, swallowed by the bandwagon. :rolleyes:






:bigthumb:

what it mainly came from is people swapping on different tires on their drive wheels for the track....


somehow it turned out looking cool?
lol

you got it, SR20. they had different sets of tires mounted on different rims, so that at the track, they could simply throw on whatever rims and tires the conditions called for instead of having to mount the tires onto the rim first and then bolt it onto the car. it also has to do with the value of the rim i think. usually one will use cheaper, crappier rims at the back as these take a harsher beating.

or for slicks slicks arent made over 16" and most are 14-15" for wrinkle walls...... so some racers have there nice looken say 17"'s for street use, and when they take it to the track they put on their smaller, cheap secondary wheels.......

sorry but everyone does it sometimes, its eventually gonna happen, but i never really likes drifting until i tried it and its intense when doing it, especially uphill or downhill. so dont get mad its the same as people who just drag.
