I like the wheels...but how are those 265's affecting acceleration?

86_ZN6 05-11-2013 03:40 AM

I've always liked these wheels.

Very understated, ol' skool feel to 'em :)

He's referring to Initial D's main character, Takumi Fujiwara. He drives an AE86 Trueno with similar wheels. Tofu driver in the morning and downhill legend by night.

I like them, kind of like watanabe's. but just don't like how it seems 'samey' with the body color.

weights on them?

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I hope to see more of the twins wearing these. Even better would be to see a set of real f8s!

Acceleration doesn't seem much worse, but it's hard for me to judge. I don't really beat on this car, yet. I just drive and enjoy it more or less.

I believe they come in a wide variety of sizes! The back of the spokes are hollow. I never weighed them, but they felt lighter then most 18's I've picked up. If I had to guess I'd say about 21-22lbs plus tires.

I have to agree. These look very aggressive and just fantastic- especially on Asphalt.

Zgrinch 05-12-2013 09:36 PM

What brand tire did you throw on?

RRnold 05-12-2013 09:48 PM

Looks sick except for the Rota part! ;)

Yea yea, I know :( Maybe one day when I'm not dumping my wallet into my old 86 , restoring a suzuki t500 and rent in the city, Ill cough up the money for some fancy wheels! :D If that happens, they'll be a more functional size. Something in a 17x7.5 probably. Until then, I'm on a rota kind of budget. Lol

I just threw some achilles atr sports on it. They are cheap, great for Montgomery's crappy road, and have tons of good reviews.
