lol but why all the same wheels? Why not 9 different sets of light weight racing wheels and have some variety?
I understand the reason for having 9 sets of wheels. Just not the reason to have 9 sets of the same wheels. Why not different styles of lightweight rims?
when your racing it so much easier to change rims than to drive slower lol. plus racing is a very expensive sport to get into no matter what size from go karts to full fledged drift cars it will nickle and dime you to death. i have friends that have 3-5 set of rims and they say that still not enough to go hard all day. another factor are what tires you gonna be running and that a whole new ball park of factors.

I hate dealerships.
Theres a car for sale somewhat locally that I like. I sent them an email asking what the price was since it wasn't listed. They responded with:
"Please give me a call so that we may set up a time to view, test drive and take your new car home with you!"
NO! Answer the fucking question, how much is it listed for?? That's kind of an important piece of information that needs to be known when making a purchase. :annoyed

'07 Accord sedan. I don't want to deal with their spiel. It's much easier for me to delete an email and add them to my junk folder than it is for them to constantly call me.

Tommy - because racecar lol
Not saying will has sponsor or any financial help for his hobby, but my friend who drift wanted to keep his image the same no matter what the situation. So that why he got 3-4 set of the same wheel. Plus he like don't wanna change setup (I.e. wheel weight, width, offset) stuff like that when he drift that might effect his driving. Being consistent is good in racing.
