Just seems like too good of an offer...I'm just worried to be driving 80-90 mph and it will fall apart...

If you're wondering why I'm thinking about getting these rims, black out my fogs, black housing projectors, black out the tails all on my silver 04 coupe...Sounds so sexy and would look so fresh...

Re: Would you do it?

Yo i have those exact rims! I paid a little over 300 tho
i actually just put them on for the first time a week ago. I had them on my Sentra before. They are so sick but I am pretty sure i got them for less than that. I also got them on eBay but it was like a year ago. I am planning to paint mine all black tho the chrome lip is so played out. The only problem that I can say about them is that at like 50-60 they make this humming noise and it seems like my steering wheel shakes a little bit more than it did before. Not too bad just barely enough to notice it. But i was totally expecting this from a $300 set of rims. So as long as your over or under that you'll be fine lol.

I have a question though... hub centric rings? How would i be able to tell what size my rims bore is? Would this stop that humming noise and stop the shaking?

Re: Would you do it?

http://www.dragwheels.com/product.asp?ID=59 this is their website. it says that these rims weight 20.00 lbs / 9.07 kg. Them seem heavy to me and I do not want to take them off and weigh them. Does 20 lbs sound like its possible for replica brand rim. sorry for the tread jacking I tend to do this often haha

Re: Would you do it?

sounds about rite for 17inch replicas. go to your local rim shop and get the rings.

Re: Would you do it?

its not a 'replica brand rim'. these rims are very very good and the quality is great. ive owned a lot of rims and can easily compare them. i currently have these exact drag dr-19 rims (except mine are gunmetal colour with aluminum lip). im about to put them on my car this weekend (for the 3rd summer now) and i still love them. they are very good rims.

the powder coating quality is excellent too, i dont have a single chip or anything after this whole time either. my only advice would be to go through discounttiredirect.com to get these rims. they have excellent tire/rim packages.
