New Roh Rims!!!
I thought I would pass along that ROH is introducing some new rims here in a few months in the US. 
there called "Drift R" and the prices are not set, but I thought I would post a pic and see what you think.
And YES! they will be for our cars...

Your right, they look alot like a one piece Modena Rim, but a whole set of Modenas run about $2800.00 these SHOULD, I emphasize "should," be more in the ball park of around 200~250 a rim.
A modena Rim, as you can see is actually more spindly than the Drift R... The Drift R is designed to replace the ZS Rim in time...

In my opinion the designs of the rims above are all good for ******. I dunno, but obviousely most of you scream when someone asking for altezza-style backlights (me too). But when it comes to rims, eurostyle is king!?

Does anyone know if the drift r wheels are available in our offset?
I checked with jd wheels who carries them and was told they were not available for a thirdgen. If they can be had I would buy a set. I think they look cool.

IF you can get them for a 4th gen you could use spacers...
Not necessairly the best idea, but its a solution.
