"rainbow lips" are Gram Titanium series, how much THEY cost I am not sure of.

Volk TE37 Mags are 1700 or 1800 + S&H from Japan.

and ROFL@olym, how true is this.

i have to agree with the baller dude to a certain extend... it's only true a person should save and buy good wheels (at one set) if they take their car to the extreme such as doing a lot of autocrossing, drifting, or anything that deals with a lot of stress to the wheels so it won't go out on you while doing.

other than that, we all have the right to sport whatever wheels we can afford, whether for looks or a every now and then touge run. just my .02

Well I could care less about expensive wheels. i am a newby to drifting. 15 inch tires verses 17's or 18's. when I am going to be destroying tires to learn and for fun, If I cared about the name of my wheel I would have went and bought some volks or 5zigens. I have 1250 to spend but I desided to go with these because they are cheap they look good in my opinion and I already have tires for them. so I am not complaining. but you guys can keep raggin'

Its really not the brand im hating onits more the size and spoke design

WIth a 15, that rules out effective usage of alot of simple brake upgrades. I personally cannot put 15s on my car. One becuase the r32 GTR brakes and rotors rub the barrel of the wheelTwo, becuase the rear of the spoke design will always rub my caliper

For someone with stock brakes, yes they are a meaningful wheel, nice offset, and nice width. However they wer primarilly made for hte older Z guys who HAVE to have a 0 offset.

And yes you will need a slight pull in the front to be flush17x8 +8s required a pull and camber. but i can take some of the camber out, because i pulled to much.

i have those on mine, but black with polished lip, unless you run a 205/55 when you drop them they will rub, i had to pull and roll my fenders, also they might rub the fender liner in the front, but i dont know if that happens to everyone or not

Shut the **** up dude. Your ****s ghetto as hell. Dont get mad because the Viceroys flamed your *** to a crisp on Zilvia, now you wanna come to Nico and try to do the same thing they do. Not gonna happen. Its easy for you to get weak rare **** like that wing on your car when you get it for chump change in the homeland.

^ Come on you guys. We don't want our hospitality to become like zilvia.

Yeah its too bad that we don't get the good deals like you guys in Japan. But we get what we can, a good deal around here doesn't come very often and even at that thats if we have the money to fork over at that time as well.

Its just like if someone was selling a ps3 for $300, that deal won't last for long.

I think the rims serve their purpose. They're cheap in the sense that if you damage them its not such a big deal in comparison to Volks. Its Highschool/college student friendly I think they look nice

Do Viceroy actually know each other in real life, or are they just an online crew? I don't get them.

So you decided to buy wheels instead of spending on parts that would help your car out more or doing events, seeing as how you said you're a newbie, interesting...

BTW, 205s on an 8 inch is retarded. I run those on my stock 6.5s, lol.
