I actaully just sold them, 9.5x19 upfront and 10.5x19 in the rear. +12 offset.

Around 20 lbs, very light given their size.
i think the white on white looks sick. not sure if i'd like it on any other color. would have to see it.

With the stock silver wheels, brake dust is killing me. With white wheels? Jeez, I can only imagine.... Can't go wrong with brushed centers and a chromed lip! Gold centers w/ polished lip on a black car looks pretty sick

It's not the composition or weghit that makes a wheel ricey.

In fact I would bet most "ricey" wheels are lighter than stock turbo wheels.

They are light because they are 6 inches wide. LOL

Had a red Rx7 Cab on wide *** white DP5s in college... looked sick. White wheels on contrasting colors look great.

But they're a B*tch to keep clean. Whatever happened to DP Motorsports? They used to have some trick *** wheels back in day.

True, but your everyday ricer isn't going to be running forged $3k wheels. If they're not running cast wheels out there, they're either steel, or made of chrome plastic.

When real race cars run a variant of the wheel, I especially don't consider it rice.








etc etc.


damn ricer

Rice is a look and I'm not big on the word but if I were these wheels would fit in the category no matter what car they were on. If you study the history of rice you would know what the term came from and hence the word "rice" defines a genre of auto enthusiasts like "bling" "ghetto" "hooptie" and just because wheels are on a (rice) race car doesnt make them any less rice.


I do not mean that to be offensive but it's the truth IMO.
