i'm sorry to say but the majority of us wouldn't buy 18 in. rims for our cars. they are just not practical for drifting.

I hope she's joking. If not, may God help us.
What model? What width? What offset?

18" rims and drifting
I have watched several of the Japanese drifting videos and have seen the specs on their cars and most are running 18"rims. So I have to ask why they aren't pracitcal?

Its not just the size of the wheels, its the comparison (sp) of wheel size to what the car can handle. I would be interested in the wheels if you can post pics and the specs.

u just need 450+ hp to drift with those big rims.. the tengoku mags are like 10.. this site is selling them now. ^^ and hes right.. bigger cars can handle bigger rims.. just because the japanese are drifting 19 inch rims doesnt mean they are on hachis or 180's they are on the bigger cars such as mark II and chaser

Well, the shop goal is to get the FD up to 400 while staying with twins (probablly have to do an efini swap). The old sort of standard on wheel size is +1/+2" from stock. Anyway, just my two cents.

I think its mostly the wieght of the rim that matters isn't it, not solely the size. Doesn't Gen Terasaki have an Ae86 pushing out about 197 hp and is riding on 18's. I might be mistaken.

There is alot that goes into the physics of it. Wheel spin time, weight, etc. But this is really going in depth though. If you are straight competition then it can matter, but otherwise, do what ya want to your car

18" tires cost more then smaller stuff. it adds up.

I all depends on what the car came with stock. You can still run a stock height on some cars that came with 16's and do it with 18's. Bigger the wheel, smaller the tire. Make up the difference.
Also, why would you do an Effini swap to get 400 hp with twins? I am at 380 to the flywheel and I got the twins on mine. No effini swap. bump up my boost a little and I am at 400. Granted, not a completely safe for a long period of time 400, but 400 none the less. Plus when is it ever safe to run high horsepower out of a 3rd gen? You are always risking something or other popping out on you. My car can spin 18's with no problem and would have no problems with 19's.

Well, let me put it this way. The general philosophy (sp) behind my 7 is when something breaks (and something always does) that I just upgrade it. The reason I was talking about the efini's is because I want to stay twin but if the stocks break, upgrade em.
As for wheels, just get what you want. If you want to drift on spinners, then drift on spinners, if they are hubcap spinners, all the better. People are just geeking out way too much about the perfect this or perfect that....its all about fun, just remeber that.
