I found some Drag wheels(DR16) that I liked and figured I would shop around and see what I could find. So I hit ebay and found three auctions that look like the same wheels but with different names. Looks like the same casting markings and everything. Two say they are Nippon and one says Drag. Are these the same thing under two names or are my eyes just not working right?

I don't know my Drag wheels as well as others here, but they look pretty close to me.

I'd be interested in what the Nippon center cap looks like before ordering though.

 

It is just a silver cap with Nippon on it, one of those auctions shows it at the bottom. The only difference I can see is that the Drag auction says 12 pounds and the Nippon says 15 pounds.

 

Nippon is made by OBX so its most likely a clone from Taiwan.

 

lighter is better if its a forged wheel.
