Default Drag Wheels......new finish

:D Drag is developing some things for us. I thought you might like a sneak peak. Tell us what you think. These pictures are pretty good but still don't capture the whole effect. The colored lips look almost like hard candy (Jolly Ranchers, maybe?). These are still in development but we are liking what we are seeing. Also Black lip...... here's your chance to voice your opinion. Thank you for commenting.

ALL WHEELS: need to drop the fake lugs, they are just so 19.. 90's... its 2008 and everyone knows that your not riding un-necessary three pieces on scion's.
The look is gone.. leave it in the last century
first wheel: darken the tone of the "candy lip" to something that matches the darkness of the drag logo
second wheel: digging the tone of the lip, would look good on some thunder cloud metallic xb's :-D hehe
Third wheel: perfect


Just my thoughts.
Good luck on the new line

diggin the brushed aluminum look, but definitely with nebster, the fake bolts got to go! so many wheels out there would look 20xtimes better without them

will there be different center caps available? they are looking kinda out of place on the first two weeks, but go nicely with the last one.

Alright, alright, we are suppost to be focusing on the finish not the design but I will make it known that "Fake bolts are bad." (This isn't the first time this has been said.)

How about this? If we were to offer any of these finishes on other current Drag wheel designs which ones should we do, and what finish should they come in?

i know bbs makes them.. but not everyone can dish out 2k+ for 17inch rims and 3k for 18s...

these would be cheaper alternatives for ppl wanting the 2/3pc look and a nice mesh wheel.

i would also... Konig made the Maxxim remember

http://adaptivestrategies.com/MAXXIM-REMEMBER-black.jpg

however not in a 17" 5x100 format... if they did it would sell like hot cakes... if drag is watching this thread... ...dont make the same mistake konig did by not offering this wheel in a more friendlier bolt pattern and size... 17" in a 5x100 /114.3 and 120 so the VWs can use them and your gonna sell!!

and if its made pls call it Drag tcpetes! lmao j.k.!
