Drag quality?

After lots and lots of looking and I think I've finally decided on a set of wheels for my Fit. I'm looking at these Drag DR-31's in whit for my TW Fit Sport. Does anybody have any expierence with this company? As far as I can tell they are basicly a knockoff of a set of Work rims. Let me know what you think...

Nothing wrong with drag wheels. The "purists" will bash you but at the end of the day and the rims get stolen, the other guys are missing $2k rims and you're only out $400.

No ones going to steal your wheels in MI. Get Works. You can easily pick up used CR Kai with tyres for $800.

Hahaha are you aware of a city called Detroit? Hahaha I'm about 20 minutes away from there, there is always a chance someone wil take your rims, no matter where you are. Aside from the brand what's the point of not going knockoff?

the only reason to get real wheels is if you are trying to pick up high school boys. those are the only people worried about "jdm" wheels. I get more compliments for my bbs knockoffs than i ever did with my RAYS

i got a set of Drag Dr-41's last summer. red with a polished lip. great rims. i'd buy another set anyday. i actually had a hard time deciding between the ones your looking at and another set just last week. i ended up with something completly different than those.

overall, best bang for your buck IMO. and they look good. post some pics if you get them! i'd love to see them on a fit. maybe i'll end up with a set. lol

Why get real outside of the name?

Resale, quality, the finish on replicas wheels is terrible. I've never seen a set of Rotas/Drags/Konigs that could even hold a candle to the finish on even a beat up real wheel.

I have no interest in picking up high school boys or males for that matter, but I do prefer a forged, light weight wheel versus a cast copy. I wouldn't even want Work Emotions, they are too heavy for my taste. With that saved money from purchasing copied wheels you will use it multiple times on some AIDS infested trannies. I mean that is the real reason to buy copied wheels. See the street goes both ways solbrothers, label somebody something for how they spend their money it comes right back. If you take this seriously, then you aren't really who I thought you were.

OP do what is best for you, when it comes to wheels. For me personally, I would save and buy the real thing or buy a used set. You are you and I am I and each person can only do what is in their best interest. I'm not going to ridicule you for your wheel choice. I may not like the wheel brand, but it's no skin off my back or my money going towards the purchase so it doesn't matter.

I have been using Drag DR9's as my winter wheels for the last 3 years and never had a problem with them.

I'm sorry but that's a stupid way to look at things -_- why get anything at all if you think you just going to get jacked in the end.

To the op, get what you want. Drag wheels will do the job for dd purposes. I prefer the real deal, but everybody has there own preference and taste. Those who go with reps, bash those with reals. those who have real, bash on reps. Who cares, get whatever floats your boat.

I'm running Drag wheels, no problems at all with them, finish is good and this will be my 3rd yr coming up with them. I'm not gonna say they will rival forged quality rims but u get what u pay for and in the end of the day the Fit is my DD and not a track car so it makes sense bang for the buck to have gone with the drag's.
