Can anyone tell the difference?

I want to see how good of a replica these wheels are, can you point out which is the Drag wheels and which is the Work wheels?

I'm guessing the top. Don't work wheels come with blue valve stems?

 

[KennyGS]

The wheels without tires are Work.

@KennyGS was it very noticeable or was it just because the wheels are bigger and just a better looking picture overall?

 

[KennyGS]

It seemed obvious to me, but I did have to spend a minute to look at the two, which you conveniently placed side-by-side to make comparing them easier.

The drag wheels are still good looking wheels all by themselves.

Drag wheels have two bolt patterns. The Work wheels only have one. The 5 other holes on those Work wheels are just for style and not for mounting. I was in the market for DR-31s a while back. But plans changed.

Sorry about that lol I fixed it sort of, any who, I'm leaning towards the Drag wheels but they have them in matte gunmetal which I think won't go to well with my car color ( Blue ) I found a website that has them charcoal grey but in the pictures there is only a slight difference which I believe may be due to the lighting. In other words I'm not sure if they're advertising matte gunmetal as charcoal grey.

What did you end up with, if you don't mind me asking?

I didn't end up getting new wheels. I went with repainting my stock wheels graphite gray.

Yeah that's pretty cool, saved money lol

I love my stock SI wheels and was planning on going with a cheaper alternative and just buying 20mm adapters but I decided I just want a new look.

Enkei pf01 is another similar looking wheel that's lightweight. Not sure what your budget is.

 

[Yannier Quinones]

Enkei pf01 are basically the same price as the RPF1's, if I were to dish out that much money I'll just get the RPF1's

I noticed the attachment point of the spoke to the rim is different. The Cr-Kai is flattened off while the Drag maintains the arch all the way to the lip.

Other than that, they are very similar. Hence, replica. I don't think you would go wrong either way. If I had the budget for the Work wheels and tires I would get them. If I didn't I'd be perfectly fine with the Drag wheel. The Cr-Kai is a very heavy wheel anyway so you won't be sacrificing anything there.

I run reps and so does my wife.(konig/xxr) We aren't ballin enough to be running $4k worth of wheels on cars we paid less than $15k for.

I will say the fit and finish on the XXR wheels was slightly dissapointing but for the money it wasn't too hard to accept. Something to be aware of with the Drag wheels. They might not be as shiny and perfect as the Works. Minor details for something that is going to get pelted with brake dust, rain, road debris, and so on.

@Nix you just made my decision that much easier! I agree, there is no need for 1k+ wheels if you're on a budget. Now if you have money to blow by all means lol
