Ordered my wheels!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who replied on my threads asking all sorts of questions.

After much consideration, I decided to go with a 17 x 7.5 Drag DR-44 wheel with an ET42 offset. At $115 I just couldn't beat it. I'd love to be able to get the real deal LMs one day, but that day isn't today. I opted for Hankook Ventus V12 215/45/17s as well. Tires were $103 each which I thought was pretty reasonable too.

I'm excited.

Thanks!

My car is in hibernation for the winter so it will be a while but when I finally get the wheels on and my suspension components installed in the spring I will definitely post some pictures!

Where did you purchase the DR-44's? What is there weight? I really like the LM design but are way to much money for BBS wheels.

Great choice! I may purchase some v12s when I am in need of new tires. Please post some pics when you get them installed.

Drags are available through DiscountTireDirect .com. I too have been considering these wheels for my Pepper White.

I did indeed buy them from Discount Tire Direct. I haven't had a chance to weight them yet so I can't say.

The car is still in storage (I don't know if winter will ever end where I am) but one day I really will take picture when they are mounted, along with all my suspension goodies. Oh boy...

It depends on the size. I know they are there in 15 inch size.

Those do look very nice. I didn’t see Drag listed on the wheel-weight-alpha.pdf but a quick search revealed 15x7 is 16.7 pounds and 17x7.5 is 21.6 pounds…
