Anyone heard about this brand?
Formula One 14x6.5 watanabes-like. They are made in japan... with tires (2)Yokohama S Drive 185/55/R14 and Bridgestone Playz... I know the tires are a little wide and cant make a good stretch... but still they rubbers are free... If they are good and keen im gonna buy them 2morow... Lowered my front about 4" already.... hope they wont rub... |

CHEAP! but maybe sometimes "copies" even from japan, can break or crack. if you do buy them, make sure you avoid potholes just to be safe :)

Finally got the rims! Cost me about 3k (pesos) for shipping.
Gonna fit them later and post some pics.. also what tires should i replace the fronts to have a good and nice stretch... 165/60/R14 or 155/60/R14 or 155/55/R14 or 165/65/R14? i have 185/55/R14 currently on the wheels and it seems the tires will scrub the outer guards due to the offset since the car sits 4" lower from stock height (front). |

Yeah that was me. With the pedo bear and secretdrift stickers.
It needs to be a bit lower, with a modded nismo style grill (in progress) and a front lip and should be good. |

Looks good. Nice and low. Can't wait for some brighter pics.
I'm personally a fan of 'real' wheels, but my brother has a set of work equip copies that aren't too bad. |
