Will these wheels fit a pin-style hub with an adapter?

They use a 12mm hex fitment by default, so with the correct adapter you can run them on pin-style hubs. Check hub thickness and adapter specs before fitting.

Which surfaces suit the hard rubber tires best?

The hard compound is aimed at asphalt, concrete and indoor carpet where predictable slide and longevity are needed for practice and events.

Can I balance or modify these wheels for better drift feel?

Yes, light balancing and minor trimming of the tire bead can help. Avoid aggressive cuts that could damage the rim or change the intended drift characteristics.
