Default Speaking of DRAG Wheels

Which 17" wheel do you think would look best on an '06 xA FM:

DRAG DR5 in Gun Metal or Black



or DRAG DR6 in Black


I'm leaning towards the DR5 in Black -> clean lines, no bling, doesn't break the bank. I'm not sure how well the Gun Metal will match the Flint Mica paint.

none. Those wheels are so played out and generic. Almost every cheap wheel company makes a set that looks exactly like those wheels.

The DR 6 isnt too bad though. Just dont get the first set.
I like the DR 8 they make. Either way, get a high offset- at least 35 or more if available.

So does that mean they will be less likely to be stolen? Sounds cool to me. :D I think these rims are 40mm offset.

The DR5 black might be to much black, but all the rest would look good.
I think the DR13s as suggested would look sick thou.

What did you use to get your wheels so shiny? Looks great!

Yep, I kinda noticed that. I've never been one to follow a crowd, I just want a wheel that will look good on my car. I did a little photoshop magic to see how the wheel will look and this is what I came up with...



I borrowed the pic from matt_a. Hope you don't mind bro. See his profile here: .https://www.scionlife.com/profile/matt_a. I tinted the windows, added the rims, and lowered it a bit.

Doubtful. Theives will take anything that is different than stock and something they know they can sell easily.
