I am just looking at all options at this point. On some frs with 17 inch rims they look too small vs. some it looks perfect.
well less weight makes everything better but you arent confined to what people typically do so just buy what you want. most decent drifters ive encountered like more grip, not less. my advice would be not to waste time on rims if you are going to run the same tires instead of buying wider rims despite not wanting wider.
