Drag DR-19 Wheels

Has anyone ever heard of these wheels and if thay are any good. They are priced at $130 per wheel. I have a silver G37xs and thought they would look pretty good. I don't know that much about wheels but will it change the ride quality even though they are the same size as my stock and I'm using the same tires.

$130 Per wheel should tell you a little bit about the quality....

130 a wheel? Seriously man, I spent more than that on dinner Saturday.

Tires alone run about 250 each. Do you really think metal structural rims should cost HALF as much as a big piece of rubber?

There are some better quality wheels out there that have an almost identical pattern and look. Search around on TireRack and others. The weight issue is huge and can be impacted by rims, tires or both. You don't want your car working harder to handle that extra weight from either a drive line or suspension point of view.
Personally I'm steering away from anything that has multiple bolt heads around the perimeter (either real or fake)...think about detailing them each week...ugh!
