The only thing I don't like about them is the rivets.

I think the Hype wheel would look great on the car. I've never been a fan of the 10 spoke design like the Drift.

I like the Drift ones as well.

I also like the notation on their site about imitators, blah blah blah....especially when a specific set of their R1 wheels, looks JUST like CCW's SP500s.....hmmmm

I have been cross shopping the R1 Drifts for some time. What I have found out is that they are pretty much back ordered all over the place - with a 30-60 day expected backlog. I want them in black. I found one place that claimed to have some HyperBlacks.

What bothers me is I have been trying to determine the wheel weight for these 9and other wheels). Bothers me that I keep getting different weights (looking for 19"s in an otherwise stock configuration, nothing special). I got 27 lbs from one place, 22 lbs from another (which I think is highly unlikely).

It's just B.S. that these guys don't put weights on their websites...bless the tirerack at least they do. Now if they only had wheels I wanted....lip please.
