hmmm..

So after contemplating the status of our piss poor economy and the fact that I should use my tax return to take care of other finances, I decided to put some $$$ towards a new set of wheels for my white ms6. lawl.

Even though five spoke designs compliment the car well... I really want to try something different and go with a mesh design.

I find my inspiration in this picture:

But since those beauties are BBS RG-R's and cost about $800 per wheel, I cannot tread that path, haha. Thus, we move towards financial compromise and look at a similar design in much cheaper package.

And we come up with:

Drag Wheels DR-34. Basically a knock off design, but hey... at $145/wheel I'm not really complaining.

My other consideration comes in the form of:

Rota Torque's (knock off of Work Emotion Cr Kai's), cost is almost the same. There are a couple of people running this setup and it does look good. This wheel has been on my top 3 for a hot minute which makes the decision pretty tough.




Either wheel will be in a hyper silver color, but damn... which one?
Ah, decisions decisions..

Thoughts?

I sy the DR-34's, I see way too many people running those rota's.

As the owner of Work Emotions CR KAI's (I jumped on the bandwagon) I have to admit, those BBSs look ammmazing, so the Drags should look just as good

oh i just noticed you're from ocean county, lol. i'm right outside of atlantic city dude. we should meet up sometime. ive passed by like other 2 ms6's since i been in jersey, but no modded ones.

 

[Rutedown]

something similar ASA AR1

 

[ms6bb0y]

Yup, saw those. Actually looked at a few mazda6s on another forum that had those. I like the overall look and price was in the same range, but the minor details made me lean wit it rock wit it towards the DR-34's. I'm not a fan of those bolts/rivets (wutever u call them) between the spokes. Also, especially with a mesh design... that lip makes the wheel look smaller on the car.

Btw the original picture I posted showed the DR-34's in Black w/ Machined face.

This is the Silver color I am gonna buy:

My only concern now is what to do with that wack ass center cap. I mean, I appreciate the affordable pricing... but damn, I dunno bout representing my <3 for Drag Wheels. lawl. I wish I could fit the stock mazda centercap on there, but the fitment seems off. I'm wondering if it will look weird without the caps?

I like those with the exception of the lug nut wholes and the center cap.

Agreed. But hey, it was the closest I could find to the BBS style that got my $$$pider $$$ense Tingling.

Wheels are listed on DiscountTire Direct for $580 a set with free shipping... but I'm gonna hustle for $500. Oh yeah, and gotta get hubcentric rings too.
