mb wheels: seven x or five x?

[blakexcore]

just want everyones opinion...i plan on getting one of these soon,

thanks

seven x:

five x:

&also, if anyone has pics of either one of these on their s13, they would be greatly appreciated

[darens13]

im going to say neither. can you even get a non ff offset? like less than 30?

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Neither. Save up for some that fit. Used wheels can be had for cheap as well.

[Kalypso]

^ good question... for real.

and why are you getting those.. when there are the MB battles



perfect offset and design.

[mestizo]

Most people will tell u not to go with MB wheels... With that being said I went with them cuz they were cheap wheel I could throw away if I ever killed one of them. Which I ended up doing and $110 later I had a brand new one. Altho I would like a set of CR Kai's or VS-XX I can't afford those now, but one day i will. Anyways I don't have the 7 spoke wheels you posted but I do have MB Weapons in a 17x9 +17 on my coupe which are a 7 spoke design. Pic's below as requested.

those mb battles look sick! now, get the battles paint them lime green and paint your car white!

[TerminalVelocity]

neither. The only mb wheels you should be looking at are the battles, weapons, and competitions. Make sure you get them in good sizes.

[g352envy]

neither..

Neither, MB Battles 17x9.5 +15 offset.

[240-SRT-4]

get the 17x9 in the 30 offset with spacers. and 225/45's and I'll trade you 2 of my 17x9.5 15 offsets so we both can stagger them... i have overfenders in the front and the 9.5's are still to wide for my taste.

[S13Joe]

I'm getting MB battles soon too, I finally found where I can get them too. I'm getting wheels before coilovers too just because I'm not a big fan of riding mismatched wheels. So yeah, I found the battles for $100-$140 a wheel and I'm very happy about this, as soon as I get the money I'm getting them.

Also, you may want to look into weapons by MB, they also look pretty good and are easy to find.

Specs on these anyone?

[240-SRT-4]

those are the 17x9.5 +15's... same as me and i have coilovers and they are very close to the coilover body..



i might go ahead and order the 17 x 9's +30 offset next week.

[blakexcore]

okay, so ive decided that after i get my stance gr+ coilovers, im going to get some mb battles17x9 +15

[S13Joe]

You also need a 5 lug conversion ~$300. They only come in 5 lug.

[blakexcore]

ive already got that down

got some off craigslist, front and rear ichiba hubs for $250, and i got some free q45 brakes

[Kalypso]

[blakexcore]

i actually have a lot of parts that im too lazy to install,

[OM3GA]

[darens13]

Dude. Dude! Dude?

[OM3GA]

Dude. Dude! Dude?

My point EXACTLY!!

[MastaYu]

[S13Joe]

[blakexcore]

[Fahaka]

neither. The only mb wheels you should be looking at are the battles, weapons, and competitions. Make sure you get them in good sizes.

+1 until mb makes another good wheel.

[OM3GA]

om3ga specs on those bad boys?

17x9.5 +15 all the way around with 235 40 Falken RT 615s no spacers Cambered to fit (still need alignment hehe waiting on PBM parts to come in)

nice curb damage

Thanks! Curbage isnt from me! but i figure they will get destroyed eventually so idc plus they are only $150 each haha! yay! Best looking wheels of all time IMO i almost bought CST Hyper zero 1's for $1200 when i couldnt find the MB battles..

sorry to bring up a sorta old thread but...

those are the 17x9.5 +15's... same as me and i have coilovers and they are very close to the coilover body..



i might go ahead and order the 17 x 9's +30 offset next week.

what size tires are those? i plan on running these wheels on my Z and i like the way those tires look on the battles.

[Armando]

since we brought this old thread back up to the top, I was wondering if the 17x9.5 +15 battles will clear Z brakes? I've looked around and never really got a clear answer.

[Weber3211]

^ I'm pretty sure they will. right now i have 18x8.5 +35 in the front and they clear (barely) and in the back 18x9.5 +38.
