Looking forward to see it getting sideways soon.

Will you be ready for the sprint series?
Booked in for sunday morning. But I will be running last years wheels.

Yeah wieght is a nice and low for such a big rim. Its really decieving when you go to pick them up. You grab it and expect it to wiegh about twice as much. My 17x8 Gmax Drift 6s wiegh 8.570kg. which is only 250gms less. But they are 2.5" skinnier amd 1" smaller. And they are considered a fairly light (economical) rim. It would be interesting to see how much a similar sized Volk rim would wiegh? I guess thats the difference between fully forged and conventional rim design. Apparently the Rays Volk TE37 RT is even a little lighter than the ZE40 in same sizes. But not quite as strong design. I nearly ordered some TE37s. But i figured i had to be a little different.


I font know if the car will go sideways when I get some rubber on the rims. I think ill need to go back to the drawing board to get the hydro handbrake to lock up...
