    Exclamation Sample of Torque Drift 17x9.5" !!!!!!!!

    Finally we have the first EVER Torque Drift in 17x9.5"

    These are the first pics released!





    Nice colour I know, but brake caliper clearance looks good

    They are now on order and should be with us in approx 8 weeks!

    Cheeky ok question for you - is the bronze colour you have that vomit yellowy colour above, or is it the same bronze as the GTR's you do?

    Cheers

    I'm afraid your wrong mate

    According to www.wheelweights.net the Work Emotion CR (17x8") comes in at 9.1kg - heavier than the Torque Drift 17x9.5"

    Both wheels are Cast

    If you think they are heavy, perhaps you need to start going to the gym..

    My 5 yr old sister can lift one

    In all seriousness, the 18x9.5" are a LARGE wheel, and even a volk te37 is only a couple of kg lighter in the same dimensions

    I stand corrected then - I heard Volk/work wheels were about 5 kg's at 17''.. I live and learn then
