Anything lighter and wider will be better than a ford rim IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 15y 8m 27d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 29/08/12 09:18 AM Share Posted 29/08/12 09:18 AM Koya are great... can choose your own offsets...However, I would check the weights... You could buy a GTR skyline forged set of wheels for drags... would be light and are a 17x9... perfectJetsnot is completely wrong... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
