New wheels but not on purpose

[RonMaiden]

Had an issue with one of the Drag 19s not staying tight and even after having Discount properly tourque them the one would still loosen on two of the studs. After having them retorqed a few times I was driving along and took a hard corner and two of the lugs snapped off but luckily the other 3 held tight or it would've gotten ugly. I limped it home and had it flatbedded to my mechanic who had to replace the whole hub to a tune of $300.
Talked to Discount which warrantied the one wheel but found out the 19s in gunmetal were discontinued so they agreed to replace the set with one that was available and they even stepped up and covered my repair bill.

I didn't want the Drag 19s in black and my wife really liked the Drag 34s which is what we went with. Still prefer the 19s but in time these will grow on me but as long as my wife likes them then I'm happy.


I'm going to miss the old ones tho' for a while.

black is where it's at! Remind me of VW's BBS, which happens to be my favorite rims. Looks great, bud!

I feel you dude. Not a huge fan of black wheels, but those aren't bad. I do like me some gunmetal. You could always plastidip them gunmetal gloss if you wanted.

I already have solid black Drag 32s (winter wheels) on the STI and didn't want them to look too similar.
