not for my G, but for my Passat wagon. looking for an inexpensive, but good quality BBS style mesh look alike. these are inexpensive, light weight and are on sale at www.tires.com.

any experience/opinions? asked on the Passat forum, but did not get much feedback.

thanks.

Drag wheels are just like Rota. Every single design they have is a direct knockoff of a popular wheel from a reputable company. They're definitely cheap, but no idea of the quality, but I'm sure we can all guess.

^yes they do look very much like some of the more popular designs I have seen.

I run Ro_Ja R2-5 and G-Games 99B, both by Rays on my G, but am looking for some less expensive alternatives for my Passat...not cheap.

I know you know a lot more about wheels than I do. what do you think of companies like TSW...a.k.a Petrol/Mandrus, ASA, Kyowa, ADR/Stern among others?

thanks.

Don't like any of those, some less than others. For a decent cheap wheel for a Passat maybe look into: WedsSport, Enkei, G-Games, 5Zigen. If you really want to go cheap, maybe MB Motorsports, TR Motorsports, Kosei, Buddy Club.

not many 5-112 offerings from those companies you mentioned. checking with 5Zigen on the SC3000 to see if they offer. that is a good looking wheel.

thanks again for your help and giving me some other options to consider.

Glad to help. Don't know much about that bolt pattern, unfortunately, but glad you found something promising.
