LOL....what's a guy to do. They don't make any "Great" looking drag rims IMO. But these definately look better than most. I'm way more concerned with the function anyway. Losing about 85lbs or rotating mass is speaking for itself.

I have and I like them about the same as I like these. Only difference is Price per rim is huge.

Stock 17's with tires were 55lbs each. These are 33lbs each front and 35lbs each back. So 220lbs to 136lbs total...Pretty good weight saving I think.

I would have bought 10's for the back but they don't make the correct offset yet. Otherwise that's what I would have done. Hopefully by next spring they will be out and I can get a pair and some good drag radials to go with them
