Has anyone used/use Drag wheels?

So on my way to work a chunk of wood came off a truck and hit my driver side rear TSW rim, cracking it somewhat bad. I have already sent it to get fixed but I am going to replace the whole set and either keep them on or end up using them for my winter setup. Im pretty sure I am going to try out Drag wheels and have narrowed it down to two different styles, has anyone bought Drag products? And on a side note which style do you guys like most? Obviously its my decision but I have to make a decision fairly quickly so opinions would be appreciated.

You should change your title to reflect what you are really asking I.e which rim looks better.

I personally like bronze on black vehicles.
 
yeah i have some Drag rims on my current avenger, (except they are off for the winter). i think they are pretty light, and well built.
 
yeah the rims in my avatar are the drags.
Drag DR8 17's gunmetal
17x7 +40 offset, and weight about 18 lbs each.
 
A good, cheap, drag wheel are the Evo IX BBS rims weighing in at 17lbs a piece and they are a 17x8. If you go with the bronze rim above, save some cash and get Evo IX Enkei rims, they look nearly identical and you can get them PC'd or paint them bronze for relatively cheap.

Heres a shot of what Evo IX Enkei rims look like painted bronze...

I have them on my car. They have held up great with no bending issues or anything. I have the same style you are considering too

Drag wheels are what they are... a knock off, same boat as rota.

Either way Caleb they look great on your car.

Thanks for the advice Gofer I will see what I can find around here, and Dyesuperman, I actually just saw your car as I was searching. They definately look good. Glad to hear they hold up well, I think im leaning more towards a black rim with no stripe and your style only comes in black with that red stripe I believe (yours are the charcoal correct), so the dr38s will probably be what I go with. We'll see, thanks again
 
Drags are rota wheels knock offs but they are still nice and light weight. Bronze do look nice though. Arizona is Drag wheels city lots of hondas use them and i havent seen any problems with them

Sounds like they are a knock off but will be just fine for my needs, who knows maybe they will end up replacin my TSW's even after I get them back, they definately are lighter. Thanks to all the quick responses
 
had dr19s on my old car thats in my pic. got hit in my quarter panel by an suv goin 50 broke only one of the spokes off. after about a year the polished lip became pretty dull. think the bronze would go well with your car
 
Lol please don't get the bronze ones :) The center craps are crappy so I left them out. The finish is ok on the back of the wheel you can see some light spots, I bought mine new if your wondering. Mine are 17x8s with 245/40/R17s Hankook V12 Evos, mine stick out of the front fenders about a quarter of an inch but don't rub. The backs are flush but rub over hard bumps by my car is camber corrected, so you can expect that if you have a camber kit. I am going to roll the rear lip soon. Its only over a very hard bump or accelerating very hard.

And here as a wingless jelly bean "ugly' also before the poly mounts all around. I stipped the tint after these pictures. The ones above are newer. I wish I could find a set of stock gsx wheels that were in good shape, I am trying to make my car look as stock as possible LOL.
