Kinda look like Gram Light 57S huh?Well, the spoke design is slightly different and it's sized a little more conservatively I believe. These appear to have slightly more backspacing than the Gram Lights. I can't say for sure though because I've never seen a real 57S up close.

These are A-Tech Erasers:http://www.marukanet.co.jp/whe....html17*9 +17 with 215/45ZR17 Falken Azenis ST115.

They are made in japan but distributed under a different name here. Too bad they will probably blow up like the FN01R-C's did... based on awesome size (17x9 +17 or +27) and awesome price. I paid $982 and some change for 4 wheels, 4 tires, hubcentric rings, lugnuts, mounting and balancing.

Wow, nice wheels. The tires are much too narrow for the wheels for my taste though.

Way too narrow. I checked Falken's website. The approved rim width for those tires are 8.0" max. A better match for the wheels (not necessarily for the driver or car) would have been 235/40 or 245/40 if the same tire brands are kept.

Edit: Nice wheels nonetheless.

Haha, yeah. I don't know much about the drifting tire-wheel combo. Just concerned that the tire bead will break off during high lateral moves since the width is beyond manufacturer recommendations of the tire.

Think less of the tire bead and more of the almost complete lack of lateral sidewall flex :)

Predictablility and consistency are your friends while drifting.

brainpig: i'll quote you: "i ain't gay and s***."drifterforlife: i've hit too many things with my front end.blegacy: for drift only... these tires won't see more than 50 miles of actual driving :(gregz0r: hahaha, NOPE!jspec: ever seen a 185/60/14 on a 14x10? I have, hahahaha.mysteryman: no can do. you have to do your own research to find who sells them. I don't want these to be the new FN01RC. a tip though: the place I got them from is pretty well known, not just for performance and not just for 240's.blegacy: bah.. you put a 235/40 on a 17x10.

they don't come in our 4 lug pattern at all, not even in crappy high offsets. they have other designs that do though, check their web page. http://www.marukanet.co.jp/

how exactly did you fn01r-cs blow up? did they break or what? the five spokes on their site come in the exact size i want (16x8 +25), where did you get them for that much? i'm pretty interested. don't worry about them getting played out, i'm over 1000 miles away from you. the five spokes (which are fn01r-c copies) are already played out.
