Looking for wheel suggestions (Chrome JCW clones are the idea)

Hi all,

I recently put in my order for a CR/B R56, cause I like the look of the "example" JCW's, and am looking for a rim similar to the ones that it has. I am also a real chrome kinda guy, so that is a requirement as well.

I found these DR19's that I think fit the bill pretty well, they appear similar to the JCW wheels, but are also chrome. I'm asking to see if anyone else has any wheels that they have seen that also resemble the JCW wheels.

JCW wheels:



Here are the DR19's on the configurator:



This is a close up of the wheel:



The DR's are sort of a 10 spoke design, whereas the JCW's are 8, and of course other differences as well, but they do seem to fit the "theme", I think.

So, any other good options out there for me?

What brand of wheel is the one above? I want chrome wheels for Tug and I actually like that design! I just can't see what the brand is!

They are DR19's made by "Drag".

Thanks Bruce. I looked at them on that site but I don't see anything about offset, weight, hubcentric or not etc. Am I just missing it?
