not really an expert but nonetheless they look like 18"s to me and brand, go with the similar design. The same wheel can be marketed under 3 different brand names.They look p-h-a-t though..

sorry if you found my subject offensive, heh.
it was only supposed to be an attention-getter kinda title.
i guess it didnt work out as well as i'd planned.

regardless, all opinions are appreciated! thanks!

and yeah, i agree with you. a lot of rims look like this.

From what i've read, Dronell is not out of business. It was their distributor or something that went out of Business.

Try calling them up to be sure.

Dronell distributors will have limited stock on certain wheels. I personally would not buy any wheels that cannot be easily replaced in the event of wrecking/cracking one. Just because they have a website, doesnt mean they are still around. Click on their contacts and phone a distributor near you to get the latest info. I dont think your going to have much sucess though.

theyre just too expensive. im dreaming more than anything else. i dont got the money to get wheels at this point, cuz if i do, id be getting 18s and i cant afford both 18wheels and 18tires. wow, that would be so much money.

right now im just buying a little here and there. im getting some clear lenses for my side markers ( the vendor got my address wrong so ups is delivering them on monday instead of today! ). im pretty sure im going to get the berk intake too. possibly a frankencar midpipe. and as soon as the 4th round starts for the maxspeeds springs im going to get them, cant beat $90 to drop your car.

sigh, i'll have to wait on the wheels and tires. it would cost me in the THOUSANDS to get these!

not as much as you think, you should not litsen to those that brag about about their expensive sets. Its just a wheel and a tire, thats all. You can buy adecent set of 18"s wheels and tires for 1250 shipped to your door..
