Underground Motorsports/New RWD wheels from Motegi

[GrubyFngaz]

I was just wondering what happened to the release of the wheels specifically for RWD cars. Didn't the owner of UM say at one time that they were supposed to be releasing a whole line of wheels just for RWD and drifting cars. Anyone have any updated info? ThanksJosh

This is the only new one I could find that would fit RWD cars...

pretty heavy though, if i did a 5lug conversion id probably stick with my FD wheels, 13lb 16x8's

[chmercer]

ugh, thoes wheels are way too expensive, and machined lip is a bunch of crap. fake 2 piece also..

aren't FD wheels like +50 offset?

[SmithSR]

Yes, +50

[skydragoness]

Eww, you'd be better off with Konigs than those rims.

[JustinStrife]

Ewww 50 offset???? OUCH

i was serioiusly thinking of getting those black wheels...what's so bad about them?

i've been looking everywhere, basically all i want is some gloss black 5 spokes with a deep dish, chrome or polished lip. they're kind of hard to find..'drag wheels' has a nice wheel i like. i think they're called dr-11. ive seen them in a couple magazines, but they're not pictured on their website - http://www.dragwheels.com

The size and offset for the motegi is fine. It's the build that is less than state-of-the-art. A one piece cast aluminum wheel is very common (your OEM wheels on s13 and s14 etc) especially in the aftermarket. Cost is the biggest issue.

Forged wheels are stronger and lighter but cost more than double and are harder to get. Of course, forged wheels are the cats meow but not everybody is ready to lay $500 +/- a few $ down for one wheel.

it preddy nice, ive seen it up close, some guy in a supra at my school has em.

ill try to take a pic tomorrow

That is the wheel we discussed!

I should have made a post about it...

I run their Bronze Touge wheels...

The 18x9's are on the front, and 18x10's on the rear...

Fit perfect on my S14 with no spacers required..

[574-240sx]

Those are some horrible sizes/widths

[kane2g]

even the Montegi sponsored Z car isn't running them. Why would you?

[574-240sx]

I should make a rwd civic and run Montegi rims.
