Whats up all, Im pretty new to the site, me and Tom have been in touch via email.....soon enough you'll see my ride.....what I wanna know is whats up with the stock front wheels and nice chrome ones on the back on these ricers (dont take that the wrong way, im pro IMPORT, anti RICE, two different things IMO......)

Hey man, good to see you online... We do have a member thats into the import scene, so maybe he will be able to help you out with that one. Very Happy I have always heard, "Thats my racing wheels" I guess to make the rice seem fast in their mind?? Haha, anyways.. good to see you online, keep the posts coming and spread the word!

That would make a little more sense, except for the fact that most are rear wheel drive.

Actually, I think most 4 cylinders are front wheel drive. Which would explain the stock tire on the front they can "burnout" with and not mess up the invetsment they made on the rear rims and tires

Thats my idea..?

most of the reason why this is is because i know in my case
i have 18" rims all around. now first of when racing it takes
less power to spin a smaller diameter rim. second do you know how expensive drag radials are......FOR 18"S. third off
i spent alot on my wheels and im not trying to F them up.
lastly most peeps just only have two sets of rims, stock and aftermarket....drag radials are not daily drivin tires at all, so you would need to switch them back off when you were
done anyways. kinda stupid if you had drags on your nice rims and then switched them off to put all stock tires and rims back on.


God created turbo lag to give V8's a chance.
