New Drag DR-21. Where to get them and what are the sizes?

Flyineunos · 11-14-2006, 12:10 PM

Has anyone seen these in person? How close do they look like the RPF1? They look sweet but I am concerned by the offset and fitment on the NA. Anyone have them? Show pics.

Anyone have anything other inf on these wheels?

Please no comments on that they are copies and the such.

Just more info about them, like where can I get them and if they are for sale.

Thanks

^^^RPF1= Enkei, not Works.

metalhead · 11-14-2006, 03:12 PM

RPF1 copies/imitations have been around for a good while.

http://www.robearracing.com/pd_spun_racing_sw909.cfm

This version is advertised at 15X 6.5" +40 offset. RPF1's come in a variety of offsets with 35mm being popular with the cone dodging crowd.

Drags version is advertised at 15x7.5 Offset: 38mm and includes more color choices.

drag's version is 15x7

on a side note, check out the drag dr26! most definately a rip off, but arent the originals near impossible to get in a 4x100 lug pattern?

That's the reason why I don't care when JDM fanboys get their panties in a twist when knock-offs like that come up. It's IMPOSSIBLE to get them in non 240/AE86 sizes so these knock-off companies are filling the holes in the market.

metalhead · 11-14-2006, 03:36 PM

On the contrary- I think these are the ONLY original design in that whole series. They look similar to the Longchamp XR-4, but the spokes are tapered, whereas the XR4 have squared off spokes. I wonder what the widths and offsets are.

Even though fake 'modular rims' are still retarded.

ahh i see sorry..got my numbers mixed up..i was interested in the dr20's but iono offsets kinda sucks...

Flyineunos · 11-14-2006, 06:01 PM

So does any one have them...Seems to me everyone(Posters) like them don't have them. The DR21 look very clean and are a dead ringer for the RPF1s. w/o the cap I can't tell the difference. Sure the weight will be different, but if I hit a curb, I'm sure the real one and the drag rim will break just to different degrees. So the price does not under weigh the strength. The size and offset seem to be perfect for the NA miata. Looks like DR-21 FTW...

The dr21 is shown in 15x7. Where did you see the 15x7.5? I think only the dr20 comes in 15x7.5. Yeah a 7.5 is definitely better than the 6.5.

RusMan · 11-15-2006, 02:31 AM

Offset sucks big time, you will not find a knock off wheel with a decent offset, maybe with a few exceptions.

Yep. My bad. Too many different wheel infos on same freakin page.

DR20 = 7.5" DR21 = 7"

Can you list the knock off suggestions for good offsets besides the rots RB and the Sportmax?

That's the whole problem, those 2 might be the only ones. There are a few styles of rota wheels available through group buys at like +20 offset, but other than that there really is no choices. But there's always wheels spacers...
