Default DRAG vs ROTA

is there ANY difference between these two wheel companies?

* WHEEL WEIGHT?
* MATERIALS USED?
* MANUFACTURING PROCESS?
* QUALITY?

as far as i know, DRAG is just a cheaper ROTA knock off.

Yeah, i've had a couple friends with DRAGS and they raped the hell out of their cars. I honestly felt sorry for their cars due to the torment they indured. Anyways, I don't like the Drag Center caps, they remind me of MSR wheels, but I gues they have nice looking designs. ADR's are on the same price level but they're pretty heavy. I've owned a couple sets of ADR's on some previous cars because they are so cheap on ebay but I realized how heavy they are. Now I got some PIAA FR-7's that are like 11 pounds a piece. Anyways, there's something about rotas that I like as well. I would save up a little and get some rotas.

They're both cheap knockoff brands. Cheap taiwanese **** vs. cheap phillipine ****. Considering how rota has attained a cult status and the prices are getting ridiculous go for the drags. If america's tire slangs them, that means they're not weak and depending on the model they're not too heavy, but most are heavier than rotas.

they're both immatations and look exactly alike w/o the center caps. id say go for the drags before it starts climbing up in price like rotas did.

Drag, Rota & ADR are all knock offs...Most of them have the same design as Works, Volk, etc...ADR's are heavier than Drag & Rota...Drag's center caps don't look good...And Rota's are a little more expensive than the other 2...But all in all, it is up to you on choosing...

Rotas, ADR & Drag are almost the same price. ADR are heavy as hell, I think the Drags are lighter as the Rotas.

I'm going with Konigs, I know another knockoff.
