DUB Magazine

So, a few months ago I ordered a subscription to DUB since I've yet to ever see a place that has it on the shelves... and everyone is always talkin bout the damn mag.

So... today it was in my mail box. (bout time)

This magazine SUCKS! First off... none of the articles/interviews have celebs with nice wheels, second... the photo/paper quality is terrible, the information is crazy outta date (They cover SEMA in this issue)

I dont understand how you can have a magazine about DUBs and show no DUBs.

Plus, almost everything they do have is for Lexani wheels (YUCK)

They dont even have advertisements for good wheel mfgr's

What a shitty magazine. Save your $20.

I guess they blew their load on the first issue, which is the only one I ever saw on the shelves. It had Mike Tyson's XJ220, Shaq's Expedition, Sprewell's Lambo, etc. I thought the picture quality was pretty poor also. I would rather buy a copy of the Dupont Registry and wish to my heart's content.

It used to stand for 20" wheels, but I don't know what the hell it stands for now.

MAX Power is pretty good. I have one that has a write-up on a CL Type S with a Neuspeed suspension and 19" Dazz Matiz wheels.
There are two versions on MAX Power mags. One is the US edition and there is also a UK version where the models show their boobies.
