I'm liking these wheels and can't decide. Either MB motoring or Drag DR31s
MB motoring 789s
Drag DR31s

I'd go with the 789s, assuming weight isn't a factor.
For me, I'd go with whichever set weighs less.

The 789s look pretty much the same as the cheap wheels around here. Seems like everyone has 'em, and you know they're the cheapest. I think the ones around here are Vision, but I just don't like 7 spokes anymore.

I chose 17x8 because it was the only size that was the same.
MB Motoring WEAPON 17x8 - 20.0 lbs / 9.1 kg

Drag DR-31's 17x8 - 21.00 lbs / 9.52 kg

oh, i searched 789 and didn't come up with much and found that they're called the weapons on the actual site

789 seems to be for the center caps

Those are heavy as hell.... WTF?! my 17x7 TSW VX1's weigh 22lbs and they are freaking HUGE
IMO I would go with the DR31's, 6/7 spokes are so overplayed these days
I would go with a 16x7 or 16x8 if they got them in that size

I don't like universal lug patterns so I would go with the MB for that reason alone... I also think the thicker spokes would look better too.
