Cheap Drift Rims.

[KezR33]

Hey guys,

I'm heading out to my first drift day next month and need some advice on what rims I should chuck on the rear. My aims are:

1. The rim itself must be cheap, I don't care how to looks. So long as it strong and does the job.

2. Optimum size for cheap/plentiful tyres. I don't mind buying new tyres if they're dirt cheap small, narrow Chinese pieces of shit.

3. Clears rear brakes, they're only 1 pot so I can't imagine much not clearing them.

The Supra has the same stud pattern as most Skylines (5-stud), and the Supraforums has been very unhelpful so I'm asking here. I've heard older Falcon stockies fit nicely, is this true? Also, what size is best for drifting? I was thinking something like 15" with a narrow width so tyres are cheap, and traction is minimal, but is 15" too small for drifting? Can I just increase the pressure to stop the tyre flexing when going sideways?

Finally where can I find rims like this? I couldn't see any on ebay, do tyre retailers keep old rims when people put aftermarket ones on?

Cheers.

Kieran,

Buy my Work Meister S2R pretty please?

Failing that, you can grab Ford steelies from wreckers with ok tread tyres.

You can try tyre shops and see if they keep standard rims from kids upgrading to horrendous rims.

Cheers
