Help with rim choice? Pic's inside!

Hi folks,

 

I have 2 bent rims & can't take it anymore, so I'm looking for a new set of wheels. I'm sticking with 17's since my tires are fairly new (Yokohoma Avid Envigors 225/45/17).

 

Here's a quick iPhone pic of my very dirty car:

Car is lowered on MSI springs w/ Koni's.

 

Here are the rims I'm considering:

Drag DR-34 - Charcoal Gray 17x7.5 - offset 45

(wasn't crazy about the machined lip on the gunmetal version)

Drag DR-9 - Silver Machined 17x7 - offset 40

Just looking for opinions/suggestions. Right now I'm leaning towards the DR34's in charcoal. What do you think??

Absolutely! If the price is right. A set of 4 from DTD is between 4~5 bills (shipped), so not looking to go beyond that really. Only reason I listed several Drags was due to price & they looked decent enough.

 

I was gonna just go with another set of stock take-offs off a newer WRX , I just can't wait any longer for a set to pop up nearby.

 

BTW - weight is not really a concern to me, this car is not going to see the track.

Have you checked the For Sale forums on this site, Nasioc, and some of the other WRX forumes? You may well be able to find a great used set in your price range.

Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

 

In other words: SEARCH before you post!

Thanks for feedback everybody....the DR-34's are looking tempting.

 

 

I dunno.... all those choices seem way too classy for a Jersey car.

HA! Actually....that's probably true. :redface:

Yeah, been checking regularly & so far have been coming up empty. Tons of ad's on Nasioc, but I've either just missed them or they're too far away & shipping kills the deal.
