[Miller White]

i am looking at getting these wheels but havent been able to find a picture of a car with my color and these wheels. if any one has one or can do good photo shop post it. thanks!

[TK_Encore]

i dont do photo shop but im pretty sure your gonna need a better picture than that one

[StandardProspect]

look up diddersons old car. he had those in black with a polished lip. you could chop them black easy

[BrianHarte]

Have you considered getting real Watanabes?

[blacksrjdm]

Have you considered getting real Watanabes?

Yea, come one, dont you wanna spend more on your rims then the car?

get the knock offs. No reason not to.

[BrianHarte]

are you buying these wheels?no? Didn't think so.Are you the original poster's secratary?

[240lookis]

buy the knockoffs. real watanabes are so screwing expensive. maybe if your car has more legit parts on it already, but if it is a stock body hatch, no reason to get the watanabes for 1300.

[Miller White]

so far it has cat back, and tein coil overs. i love drifting so i've really been focused on drift related parts. i've also considered just black meshies with a polished lip. brian i know your big in the drift scene. before my coilovers side ways was easy lol now that i have no body roll its impossible almost. do i just need to save for a lsd or what? thanks again guys

[BrianHarte]

Real wats are magnesium I believe. SUPER light.

Those fakes ones are cast and probably at least twice as heavy.

[nismofly]

depending on size, twice as much for sure

there are pics of miatas and **** around with them, but please, save yourself, dont do it

[Miller White]

brian any advice on how to get my car to slide now that i have coilovers?

[BrianHarte]

I suggest getting a 2 way LSD.The car will be completly awesome.You will love it.

i agree with BH get the watanabes way better offsets and they aren't cheap as ****

[Miller White]

well my coilovers have the camber plates, do i need any thing else to get the camber and alignment fixed? i havent even gone to get it checked? do i need upper control arms or anything?

[StandardProspect]

i agree with BH get the watanabes way better offsets and they aren't cheap as ****

the knockoffs come in a 0 offset. i think thats pretty good. what offset does a real wantanabe have that makes them so much better?

[BrianHarte]

for the front, your coilovers with adjustable camber plates is all you need.

for the rear, you can VERY slightly adjust camber with the stock arms, but probably not enough as you'll need.You will need Rear upper Control Arms for this.However, usually when you adjust the camber, the toe changes quite a bit.If you can get RUCAs and Toe links, you will be good.

[Miller White]

k thanks brian

[BrianHarte]

But like I said, I will back a 2 way LSD 100%.That thing will make a DAY and NIGHT difference in your car.

[Miller White]

welded dif?

[240lookis]

i agree that real wats will be better in the area of weight, strength and sizes.but that would be around $350 a wheel most likely, and that's a lot. even used ones are expensive and they usually have worse sizes and look worse than these knockoffs.

[BrianHarte]

No.

I'd say do it right and get a 2 way LSD. They are getting pretty cheap these days.

[240lookis]

welded dif?

ya, do that for now.

[BrianHarte]

okay, go ahead and don't take ANY advice "240lookis" is giving you.

If you dont have an LSD diff then you will need one to drift. Need both them tires spinnin. I would either weld it or get a two way. Unless its dd then get vlsd.

Yea, stick with the knock offs, unless you wanna spend 1300 dollars on wheels that are GOING to get beat up.

I also drift, but arent as well known as BH, but, he should know as well as I do, when you put the expensive wheels on a drift car, prepare to tear them up a lot. I bought FN01RC's a couple years ago and they are all beat up from drifting and I wonder why i didnt just get some driftz wheels or something cheap that would get beat up and I wouldnt be as worried. Brians wheels also got all torn up, along with the body of the car. Its just drifting, thats what it does to cars and parts.
