Default Brand review

Hey guys,

Since AM is no longer selling the wheels I wanted, I found another company that makes every similar ones. The company name is called Drag.

Here is the link:
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...=Car%2FMinivan

I wanted to know if anyone knows about this company and that if the extra wheel stud holes would be distracting to the wheel or make the wheel look cheap.

Thanks.

Never heard of Drag wheels either.

I notice that it's a 17x7.5 wheel. That seems a bit small.

Run for the hills!

Drag wheels are 100% pure crap. They manufacture copies of 10x over copied wheels. Synonymous with the ricer world! (hence the universal bolt pattern) Not to mention the offset and width of the wheels will make your car look like it just crossed the Mexican border into Texas...

I understand that you had your heart set on the chrome AMR's. Remember, chrome is flashy and attracts unwanted attention. Not to mention more often stolen!

Why not opt for the silver AMR wheels?

I am just not a fan of silver wheels. I would prefer black over the silver.

They have more sizes. I will admit I really don't know too much about the differences between these sizes. 18" wheels was my first choice, but I could stay with 17" to get the wheel I want.

How would half of an inch off the width of my tire make it looked riced? The wheels I have now are 17x8. Would 17x7.5 really be that noticeable?

You might be surprised but yes. It will also affect handling, less tire contact to the road.

Dang, it seems I can't get the wheel I want if my life depended on it.

the amr wheels are pretty cheap, you could always try the silver with the intent of having them chromed if you didnt like the silver.

How much would that cost and where would I look into doing this?
