DRIFZ Rims

Does anyone have any information about DRIFZ rims? I got a set for my 91 240SX, they are black with gun metal lip. I haven't had a chance to try them out, as my car is still in the shop getting some bugs worked out.

Any infomation about these rims would be great. Thanx!

I'll see if I can find pics online...because I do not have a digital camera. They look dope, but I was wondering if anyone has these rims and what their opinion about them.

well i googled it just now, seems to be about 8 or 9 different models, well if you stick to something 17x8 or wider and less than 15 offset you should be good

So I got the a bad set of rims for my ride? I spent mad money on those rims and tires. D'oh! They look really cool and the low profile tires look sweet. Did I make a poor choice?

Thanks for any input.

I plan on lowering it too...1/2 inch or 1 inch. Any suggestions on lowing springs? Or should I get some adjustable coil overs?

Thanks for any help/suggestion!

Why would it cost $1000? For lower it or getting adjustable coilovers?

coilovers: $900<
RUCAs your going to need if you lower your car a decent amount: $350
getting wheels that actually fit: priceless

if you actually got 17x7 +45 your better off on your stock wheels...seriously, unless you have aftermarket brakes.

your best bet would be to sell the wheels to somebody who has a civic, integra, camry, corolla etc. and get some wheels that dont have DRIFT in the name and has something 9 inches or wider and less than 15 offset, unless its driftmaster wheels and those are hella bank.

I went with the 15's cause I want to lower my car and I thought that the 15's would give me better steering ability. I'm new to this whole Drift seen, cause it's so kick a$$!

I've been drag racing Honda's since I was in high school and this is my 1st RWD car. I really appreciate you all helping me out.'

Mad Thanks!!!

im going to guess that you meant to put 240SX not 240SZX. best is a relative word, what is the best food?, what is the best cigarette? what is the best springs for the 240? do a little research and decide what is best for you. some popular choices on which to base your research on would be: eibach sportlines (supposed to be the lowest drop), TEIN s-tech (mostly hype but seems to be a pretty good "average" person spring), ebay (**** but still popular), cut springs (everybody does it, works ok, cheap, but riskier than others)
