Yo Han Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hello, Shopping for some new wheels. Found some I like made by DriftZ, but I can't find any reviews or specs on them. Are these decent wheels? Thanks in advance for any feedback! Yo Han Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 You're going to need to be more specific like ... model type? pictues? And you may want to post size and offset. I am not sure that they make wheels with proper offset for lgt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo Han Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Howdy Mickey! Model I'm looking at is the Venom. 17X7 with 40 offset. I know they fit, just wondering if they are a decent make and overall build quality is good. Pic on the manufacturer's site. Very sparse site, which made me wonder. http://www.drifzwheels.com/wheels.htm Cheers! Yo Han Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 .40 offset........ Keep shopping;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rougeben83 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 +40 too low, try +48 for 7" wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 What the above said^^^ plus IMHO, 7" is too narrow for aftermarket 17" rims. If you're going to get new rims and you're going to push them so far out (40 offset) then why not go with 17x8+48. That particular style is not unique. I've seen other brands with very similar style so I would keep shopping unless they're dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 it's not that bad at 17x7 +40.. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo Han Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 Thanks for the replies fellas. Yeah, I bailed out on those. Just ordered a set of Ace Arius in Silver with polished lip. Apparently got the last set from the manufacturer. They are 17X7.5 with +48. Gonna mount some Kumho ASX 225/45/17s on them when I get them. I'll post pix when she's got her new shoes on. Thanks all for all the info. Keefe especially for the tips and the kick arse post on wheel specs! Yo Han Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Han Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hello Keefe, What did you guys not like about the ASXs? ...and what was different with the STXs that made you go with them? Thanks! gf had the ASX on the baja.. we didnt like it.. we went for the STX tire instead.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 the tread blocks are different eventhough they are supposedly identical tires.. the ASX is very soft and they seem to be more for winter use.. the STX truck version is much more stouty and they handle better in the dry (less flex of the tread block).
