MB motorsports weapon wheels

Has anyone ever heard of this brand, or better yet has anyone put these on their suby? They are at America's tire co. for $125 a piece bronze or gunmetal and different widths. Any competitors out there able to beat this price?

A friend of mine is running these as winter wheels on his WRX. They clear his Stoptechs. They might be 17x7.5s, but I'm not sure. I like how they look. Lemme go find a pic...

A pic would be cool...I like the way these look I'm just not sure of the quality b/c I've never heard of this brand. Deciding between these and the bronze rota sdrs.

There are pics in the thread I linked. Basically, these would be a bit lighter and a bit cheaper than Rotas, but you'd get the great local customer support from SubyDude if you got the SDRs.

the 17 x 8 weighs 20 lbs. just letting u know.


kozz said for 510 shipped he'll include lugnuts, but dot it down to 480 without lugnuts to beat the price at american tires. I was considering these for winter tires in 17 x7.5

That is a little on the heavy side but not too bad for an 8" wheel. I think the Rota sdrs are around 17-18 lbs. but they are 7.5" wide. I still can't decide...can you fit a 225 wide tire on an 8" rim?

Yes, but if you want to run 225s, you might as well just get 7.5" wheels.
