NEW WHEELS!

Thinking about changing wheels. Haven't made up my mind yet, but these are my favourites:

Drag DR20 16x7, ET 40
Rota RB 16x7, ET40

Maybe a yarisworld member has a used set for sale?

Sadly, I have yet to see an aftermarket wheel sold in the USA that looks decent (to me).

Yikes. So many wheels, so many dislikes?

johnnypaseo was one of our original yarisworld members. This was his 2008 Vitz with Maxxim Screech wheels and Tien coils. If I recall, they were 16x7, ET38. He originally ran 205/50/16's but they rubbed, so he went with 195/50/16's and solved the problem.

I like both the wheels, but I would prefer the Drag DR20's in gold with a machined face.

Unfortunately, the Drags (and all wheels with that design from Konig, Maxxim, and Rota) have been discontinued and are virtually impossible to find.

I've been searching for a vendor who may still have a set... with little luck; otherwise, I'm trying to find a nice clean used set.

Similar design, and from a brand I'd trust.

What about the Konig rewinds? They're a similar style to the panasport/watanabe 8 spoke wheels.

Drag shows that design on their website, but there's no pricing info. I didn't look hard as I was short on time, but perhaps there's some authorized dealer info somewhere on their site?

Called Drag, but nothing in stock. Called a bunch of vendors across the country, but nothing in stock, as well.

I think they have white as well I believe, and the offset is just 2mm less.
