Drifz
I am about to order a set of Drifz wheels today and I wanted some opinions! They are 18x7.5 up front and 18x8.5 in rear. I am getting them in gunmetal instead of glossy black so my car doesn't look like a bumble bee w/ the yellow paint. I am getting them brand new and dirt cheap so I need some opinions quickly. Thanks

Make sure they have the correct offset. I have 18 X 8 +51 in front and 18 X 9 +63 in the rear.

You can use this as a guide:
As written by spa-zz: These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance. For the front: 6.5” to 7.5” wide wheel: 205 tires: +43 offset minimum 7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 215 tires: +48 offset minimum 7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 225 tires: +53 offset minimum 7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +58 offset minimum 7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 245 tires: +63 offset minimum For the rear: 7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +40 offset minimum 7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel: 245 tires: +45 offset minimum 8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel: 255 tires: +50 offset minimum 8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel: 265 tires: +55 offset minimum 9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 275 tires: +60 offset minimum 9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 285 tires: +65 offset minimum

How dirt cheap? I've never heard of Drifz before. Is it some no-name brand that gets sold on eBay? I'd personally be wary of putting and unknown brand wheel on my car..

dude...
Hey, i've had my stewie for only a couple of months, but it came with, the 505 nos, gloss black with a polished lip... haven't had any problems, don't think they would have been my first choice, they're a little heavier than I would like, and am not sure if they're... up to "spec" as we say. But I didn't pay for them, so I can't complain... lol
