what size rims would be the biggest you guys will go? I was thinking 19's

19x8 front, 19x9 rear is the biggest you would ever want to go, from the research I have been doing. Just make sure they weigh the same or less than your current rims. Otherwise your just hurting yourself.

Just wondering...how did those 4 "round things" the tires are on become know as rims? Actually the rim is the outer portion of the WHEEL!

:agree I know a bunch of guys are running the ROH Drift R wheels in 18" or 19". I had some in 18" on mine for a while.

Does anyone know what the 17" stock wheels weigh?? and how am I gonna find out how much the new ones I pick weigh??

These are my wheels for Fatbitch, got them on Christmas display 'till summer when I stick them on the car.

 

[Guest]

to find out what your stock rims weigh, take em off, put em on a scale, and that gives you a wheel-air-tire weight. then go online, see what the tire weighs, subract 5 more for air, and thats your wheel weight.

If I was gonna go with the biggest I would get me some 20" they will fit but I don't want to go that slow with all that bling bling

 

[djray77]

ahh man I have to take all my wheels off and weigh them come on
Someone on here had to have already done this?

 

[Guest]

no, you just take ONE off. they all will weigh the same.

 

[djray77]

I know I was trying to be funny, didnt work I guess.

 

[Guest]

use smilies my man, helps us understand a joke post from a serious one.

of course, if you go to tirerack.com they show the weight of the wheels.

 

[djray77]

I did use a smile, I'm going to tire rack right now. I think 18" will be best I dont want ot have to bend fenders or anything LOL!

 

[Guest]

smart move. 18x8 will work nicely.

Those are drag rims you must have some nice tires going on those bad boys.ANd some serious power under the hood :cheers

 

[Guest]

Its all about weight savings...and Weld's are pretty light!

 

[smkdu]

right but weld are mostly drag rims which is why the front is so much narrow then the rear he must some meatty tires for the back of that beast

 

[Guest]

riiiiiiiiight, any racer knows the skinny ones go on front for weight transfer to the rear.

 

[smkdu]

I was saying there for drag only b/c of that fact if they were looks they would all be the same.Which I sure you know just stating the obvious :lol:
Come though image the burnouts with the skinny ones in the back :rofl:
