Well, not really drifting... just some donuts to break in the new tires. :)

Hehe... I'm just kidding. They are HP Racing Evo Lightnings. Knockoff wheels. Cheap.

I'm rowdy in the car and its hard to justify spending $5000 on rims when I know I'm just gonna scrape em up.

Those DO look like them. I wonder if they are just the same wheel with a different name on them.

Well, a 20" wheels and tire package can easily run $5000. $800 wheels and $400 tires, plus mounting, etc, will do it.

My buddy just sold his 745iL. It had $8000 wheels on it. I mean, EACH 24" WHEEL was $8000. I don't remember the brand, but he told me about the wheels when he bought it (used) and I didn't believe him. Some guy nailed his car downtown, though, and insurance had to replace a single wheel and tire. $8000 for the single wheel, that is just insane. Baller.

My wheel package was like $1300 with tires shipped from Florida. Now I don't have to cringe when I nail a curb. <grin>
