Drag rims, anyone seen 'em?



Says you can use tuner bolts too.  Seems like vibration would be more due to 
a lack of hubcentric rings.  Still I wonder, is the offset of 40mm too much? 
Tire rack seems to sell 15" rims with a 40mm offset as fitting this car but 
I want whatever I get to fit well, not just fit for looks.
