> [@boardjnky4](#): > > worst snow drift videos ever > > I’m an FX fan though, and the car looks good with those wheels powdercoated > > edit: nvmd, just saw those are GTR rims…obviously haha if you go further back to older videos, I have a bunch of “unedited” ones that are just thrown up there, but are actually “better” drifting than the “edited” video that is newer. This past winter I only had a few chances to go out and drift, where the year prior I would go out at 4am to dick around… and of course the best “drifts” I’ve had are the ones either nobody saw or were not recorded… I used to have the stock 20’s powdercoated black: but sold them for the GTRs that I got painted (since the paint guy I use has paint that hold up better than the powdercoat I had) for the purpose of better, OEM-appearing looks, and much better performance (they weigh only 24lbs f 27lbs r) which is pretty good for wheels of that size…the tires obv add weight. Your car must be fun in the snow 😛 lmao > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > I love the way these sound :tup: > > GTR wheels look good too :tup: haha yeah they sound sick stock: mine is basically stock but twice as loud… check my youtube. and Thanks 🙂 theyll look better once the coils are on there > [@cougarspeed](#): > > I totally forgot about these things! I like it haha I guess there arent too many in your area then… theres a million and a half near me (completely stock, obv) and hardly any modded…even rims. ---

I resent the ‘fun in the snow’ statement about my car. I always get the last laugh though, cause I live in NC. My dad has an FX45, I should convince him to get those wheels! ---

Welcome! I went to high school a short walk from Irvington in Dobbs Ferry, but that was back in the 90s. I say the FX35 is all set…keep it reliable and start on a project car.
