it really depends on your taste. you could go as low as 20/25, but thats pretty pokey. Imo et30 +/- 2 is best for both 8 and 8.5". Anything less then et35 on the 8.5" and you will run into inner clearance issues.

Has anyone ever used Drag Extreme Alloy wheels. I am looking at 17x7 DR-19 (GLOSS BLACK, GUN METAL, CHROME, SILVER).
Has anyone used them? Have they had any problems? Are they a good quality wheel?
Thanks

Opinions on these center caps...
I've never liked the centercaps that came with my aftermarket wheels...they stick out too far.
...wanted some more flush sitting, so today I made a diy cap...and stuck the Mini decal on.
I thought they look decent...till my wife came out in the garage...frowned
& told me they would look better completely flush..as opposed to slightly recessed as came out...
...before & after pics, ..what do you guys think?

Much better than before, good job.
I dont think completely flush would be a big enough change to fiddle with them. The before pics remind me of the wheel spikes on Roman chariots.

..and yeah, before they were kinda Roman chariot-ish, ...maybe I should've attached some blades coming off them...like from the movie Gladiator, ..a suprise for big vehicles that come over into my lane

Much improved. The originals looked like a goats teet. Your version draws attention to the wheel design,....instead of the hub.
