16 in. CCW knock offs

Has anyone tried these CCW knock off as a drag rim? They are XXR 531. They come in a 16x8 in. And weigh in about 16 lbs. My RX7 rim weighs that( reinforced ones ) . I was thinking about getting them. They are really cheep.

With these being a 20 offset would I be needing a spacer? If so what size?

The wheel may or may not fit depending on the diameter of the hoop itself. If you look on your FD wheels, not only is the caliper to spoke clearance close, but also the caliper to the actual wheel.

That would be cool. But they only make them in 2 different kinds of offsets. +0 and +20. Shoot I might just go ahead and buy them. They are really cheap. And if they don't fit I can sell them to some honda kid around here. God knows we have a lot of them.
