Any one here know if Drag wheels/rims from Discount tire are any good?

AHAHAHA are you serious?

should we avoid any negative comments about any vendor b/c the moderators <3 them for some reason?

hahhaha.

good to know the moderators agenda.

EDIT: if drag wheels were worth anything they'd design their own wheels instead of stealing it from other people.

Nope, we should share our knowledge of wheels, explain carefully why we feel a certain brand is not worth the money, and give an informed suggestion.

And, we should have an understanding that not everyone can afford original, high-end wheels, or even that some don't really care about the manufacturing processes and metals used and whatnot, in the search for a nice, affordable wheel for their car.

Being able to do the above, and not being a high-and-mighty ass about it, is the key to being a constructive and respected forum member

high and mighty? That's me, all high and mighty.

I'm not the one deleting posts that don't make your sponsors happy.

Either way back on topic.

Define "high-end", $165 a wheel isn't "high-end". $500 a wheel is "high-end".
(for a 15" wheel).

A $75 wheel is "low-end". (again 15" wheel).

I'm not going to "assume" everyone is living in the poor house, I'm going to assume that everyone is willing to afford a decent set of wheels. I find it more offensive that people think I'm poor b/c I bought a Yaris then someone assuming I can afford nice wheels. Plus it's easy for someone to say "My budget for wheels/tires = $xxxx". Knowing that eliminates all need for assumptions.

Would anyone still suggest Drag wheels if someone had a budget of $1500 for wheels/tires? No. Especially if we're talking 15s.

Why are you assuming that people don't care about quality? The OP didn't express anything about his Quality preference, for all we know he's lived under a rock for the last 25 years and googled "Wheels", maybe he does care about quality (he is asking if they are good).

Drag wheels are crap b/c they blatantly steal designs and are overly heavy. For a little extra money it is possible to have the original wheel that is lighter and of better construction.

Discount Tire is good to work with though, (great for Hubcentric rings).

Depending on the knock off you're looking at it is always a good idea to look at the original at least for comparison sake on price/availability/sizing.

Drag wheels aren't worth $1 per wheel so spending $75 a piece is a waste, save up an extra car payment or 3 and get the originals.

Also if you do want to go with lower quality knock offs be sure to search around, as shown prior to the deleted posts fiasco there are places selling the knock offs for the same price as the originals. If you're going to buy crap you shouldn't pay alot of $$ for it. (I've got all the posts saved if some is interested in seeing that particular bit of research).

OP, what is your budget for wheels/tires? are you concerned with quality when buying wheels?
