Default US wheels

I saw some us wheels that were identical to diamond racing wheels. 15×8 +12 offset. Anyone know if they're any good? Are they lighter or heavier? They're a little less expensive and sometimes you get what you pay for.

this post has NOTHING to do with slipstreams... what are you even talking about.

The U.S. Wheels weight 26 lbs for 15x7 and 28 for 15x8.

Diamond Racing Pro Series 15x7 weigh 18 lbs and the 15x8 weigh 19. Considerably lighter.

NO CLUE how the hold up to abuse. never heard of em. You can find a lot of info with Google.

LOL I'm plenty calm, I simply stated a fact. I strongly dislike people throwing bad info out there without care. Some guy who didn't read my OP told me any halfshaft from ANY 94-01 Integra would work on my b-swap a year ago and cost me a built transmisson.

If you don't wanna read the OP don't respond, that's all. Desmond and Diamond Racing aren't even close.

Okay I have another question. I don't want to drop my car as far as needed to give 15's the right look. Anyone have any input/experience with 16×8 +12 diamond racing wheels? I'm dropped a little now and I'm on 17's. The ride sucks. Lol. I want a little more cushion and I still want that Diamond (ricer) look. But I dont want to be slammed or have ridiculous camber. Is the 16 inch rim the answer to find that middle ground?

And you just read the post, then go popping in the halfshaft? If you didnt do further reasearch on it, and just took a word from a stranger probabaly thousands of miles from you... Thats on you.


It looks like the US wheels weigh alot more, i'd go diamond racing, but honestly I wouldnt do either... Way too heavy.
