Yoshihara Design Wheels – Daijiro Yoshihara’s Latest Venture

After a year in the making, 2011 Formula DRIFT champion, Daijiro Yoshihara and his team of wheel experts have officially released a collection of wheels that caters to not only his fans, but also to fellow enthusiasts. Drawing from the past, present, and future influences of wheel styling along with specific attributes for the intended use of the wheel, each design was personally selected by Dai and engineered by his team to be the perfect blend of form and function.
The initial launch of Yoshihara Design will consist of 4 different styles, all with individual unique features. Each wheel is manufactured with precision technology, so that drivers can expect maximum performance, stylish designs, and affordability. Wheel sizes will vary from 18” to 20” applications and will be available in multiple platforms for Japanese, European, and U.S. vehicles.

The Champion wheel is available in 18″ sizes covering widths from 8″ – 10″ and offsets in the +15 to +40 range.
