pass on this. Offset is completely wrong for 17x7's ...

[dickie]

width is way sucky for a 17" diameter wheel. willing to bet they are heavy too. all that PLUS they're ugly...

...pass.

No, MB Wheels are knock-off crap. That offset and width sucks too.

Sport Max instead?



The only readily available, moderately priced, four lug wheel that doesn't suck is the FN01R-C in 17x9+20. You can only buy it through SPL Parts and Discount Tire, but please if you do buy, buy from SPL because they're a company worth supporting. The price is the same at both places. That size requires rolling the fender front and rear, depending on how low you are.

The Falken Hanabi is also available in 17x9+20, but it's a dual-lug pattern (100/114.3) and quite ugly. Of course, if you want to spend the money you can always buy Work Emotion's in four lug.

And for what it's worth, FN01R-C's are NOT PLAYED OUT. Wanna see? All you have to do is browse through the forums and see how many cars AREN'T rocking one of the few four lug wheels that isn't a lame Sport Max.

MB does not make good 4 lug wheels.

If you go 5 lug however they have the Weapons which are good.

Try used wheels, cause Fn's are meh.

fn's look good on hatches, if you want a low price highly durable wheel dude just get fn's, i got the 17x8 +25 cause an extra inch of width wasnt gunna kill me and they look fine. but for fn's it all really depends on the body style. for the coupes the fn's in wider wheels look great cause as the fn's go up in size it totally changes the appearance of the 5 spoke look and looks good. But 17x8 is fine but if you like a wider wheel 17x9 +20 would fit also.

In general, yes.Not those fugly things you are looking at, but the 5 lug models of A-Tech wheels sold under the MB moniker. Weapons, Competitions, and a couple other 18" models.go 5 lug homey. 5 lug 5 lug5 lug 5 lug.

Those MB Drifters are a little on the heavy side. MB wheels arn't knock offs, but most of their wheels are made by other companies like a-tech with the weapons and competitions. I know konig and some other popular companies make wheels sold under the MB name as well.

You would be better off with the sport max for good 4 lug offsets.

Another possible 4 lug good offset option could be these. Discount Tire is a dealer. Not sure how much they run, but it would be different.
