Part Number: DR16157044067GM

Color: Gun Metal with polished chrome lip[/FONT]
Size: 15" x 7"
Offset: 40mm
Bolt Pattern: 4 x 100 (4 lug bolt pattern)
**Super light weight design with only 12 lb each**

Is it truly too good to be true? What do you think?
I have no affiliation with the seller, merely shopping for wheels myself.

I have been looking at the Flik Fuel which are 15 X 6.5 and also weigh 12 pounds and are $79 each, I like that theese ar 7' wide, but still like the double spoke look of the Fuels'. They are the same price & same weight. Now do you go for width or style???

The "Drag" designation worries me some. I'd want to know if these wheels are made for Off road use only or do they have a strength rateing like TUV or the Japanese, near equivalent. Real drag wheels aren't much for bumps and pot holes or lateral loads.

12lbs is light for the price but not that light for 15". Have a look at the master list: http://forums.audiworld.com/wheel/msgs/47519.phtml
