I just keep my ear to the ground. Ask around and don't mind taking rims that need heavy TLC.

how the heck are you guys driftin on 14 inch rims? I have problems with my stock 15s. Is it the 60 series tire I'm runnin? I'd imagine a 50 series on a 15 is waayy too small.

I haven't done it yet. They don't have rubber on them yet. I will be trying it on the 26th of March when there is a drift day at the local drag/autox strip.

I will give you an answer then.

14s will breat traction much easier due to the ability to to acive higher revs faster... they are also nice and semi narrow...

Those are nice. They seem to have a 3D spoke pattern.

hijackin the thread with more pics got them mounted today but a valve stem broke on one of them, so only three are on as of yet. turns out only one place is a volk distributor here, and he can get a new valve in a week or so. (turns out the valve is smaller than ALL OTHER VALVES) we went around looking for new valves, to no avail.
