Default new to the wheel game.

like the title says, i'm new to the wheel/rim/tire stuff. well, most car stuff to be honest. i just got a 2006 xb about a week ago, and as much as i love it, i don't like the stock hubcaps/covers or whatever. i've been browsing, but i'd like some feedback on what brands to stay away from/what brands are good, etc.

i've been thinking about getting something like this, http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=7&vid=008416

anyone know anything about those? another brand with a similar style?

hate to bump my own thread, but the stock tire, 185/60-15, fits that size wheel right? that's what the sticky says, but i'm just trying to gather all the info in one place.

Drag is considered one of those brands that makes cheaper replicas of more expensive wheels. There's actually quite a few people on this forum that are running Drag wheels. It doesn't hurt to do a bit of searching and pm'ing the forum members who own Drag wheels their opinions of them. At the end of the day, it is still your decision on whether or not you want the wheels. If you like them, go for it.

Also, to answer your second question, according to discount tire, the stock tires with the measurements you listed should fit the wheels you are interested in.
