After having these rims since either late November or early December of 07, I have finally put the decals around the red lip of my rims. Decided to do it while I had the wheels off when I was rotating my tires this weekend, so that I could lay them down to line the decals up the same on each wheel.

This next pic was later that night, it was the only wheel in the light and I saw it after I got out after getting home. I would've moved the car so the center cap was straight but it wouldn't have been in the light anymore.

Yeah that's right, put me in the rice & taters thread :P

It's the wheels guys, not the car...relax. I know you can't drift a fwd, and I even thought about leaving them off cuz of the whole fwd thing.

if you put MC DONALDS trays under you rear tires with e-brake on it might help you drift a bit haha :rofl:

It's not like he put a giant butt DRIFTER sticker on his windshield...it's the rims, it's what they're called. He's clearly not trying to pose as a drifter. I think it looks cool man, and if you like it, rock it.

I've seen a vid of that with a civic haha. It actually worked too lol. Although I guess it's still not "drifting" technically.

I could care less what the stickers say. I just think they would look better without them.

it's possible to drift in a FWD vehicle.
never said it was really that easy though :P

you have to cut the angle early and the drift
doesn't last very long. possibly the most
dangerous vehicles to drift in.

"Drifting" and "sliding" are not the same thing...imo, and I'm sure most would agree. And technically all you can do in a fwd is slide.

from d1gp.com

"As a practical description, drifting is a high-skill, high-energy display of car control in which drivers slide their vehicles from side to side at high speed through a marked course or section of a permanent circuit. It looks somewhat similar to a tarmac rally stage, but is done on a closed, paved course and judged on execution and style rather than just who finishes the fastest. Drift cars are typically smaller, lightweight, and rear-wheel-drive. The goal is to apply enough power to the rear wheels to break the tires' traction and initiate a slide, or "drift". Once a drift is initiated, it must be maintained through the turn using a precise balance of power, braking and steering."

I understand your argument...but here it is.
The only reason you may not see it as drifting is
because the FWD doesn't allow for a longer drift.

Anyways, nice wheels man. :)
