Anyone hear of MB Wheels? A dicount tire brand.

[talon94es]

Hi Guys, I'm looking to put some new rims and tires on the old talon. I was looking at discount tires website for 17" RIMs and these MB are their in house brand. They look quite nice. I'm not looking on spending much more than mabye $120/RiM so this fit the bill! Here's the links. Let me know if you've heard of them or have any suggestions for some decent 17"s. I think 17"s would look better and fill out more of the wheel gap.

yes, they are a pretty hot wheel...they can also be purchased on ebay...a bit cheaper if you say.

Yeah, these MB wheels look pretty good in gunmetal. The ones for $81/Rim look good but I really like the looks of these!

But they cost $151/Rim so that's a little much for a car with 178K on the ticker. But, then again they look similar to this guys on dsmtalk which I like a lot!

These are also nice at $124 a rim and would probably contrast well with my car. MB Driters.

So, its gonna be a hard call. I have a few weeks or more before I decide. If the ones for $151 are a fair amount lighter and of better finishing/build quailty maybe that will justify the higher price.

I have heard of them, I was going to buy their Weapon wheel but no one had it in stock.

I had the MB Drifters on my C5 (corvette). They were actually decent quality.
Other than the inner wheel had horrible over spray and wasn't coated well. Parts of the wheel showed through. But for the price, not bad.

The Weapons are awesome. If I did not have Slipstreams I would have bought the Weapons for sure.

I would do ebay WAY before Tire rack. This is why.

All of these are $249 ( + $150 shipping coast to coast) FOR ALL 4

Wow, those gold ones are freakin awesome!

Those ADR rims are hideous.

I got my MB drifters installed the beginning of this year. I'm liking them! Now I need a new clutch so that kinda sucks but I knew it was coming. Here's a shot of my setup. Brembo Rotors with EB Greens on the front. Peace and chicken grease.

They are quality for affordable. The super street off shoot "Project Car" ( That I read religiously and pick up every new issue ) did a 1g gsx and they rocked the MB Drifter wheels. They said all kinds of good things about them.

Oh cool. It's good to know that. They are a good deal and after taking them in the mountains yesterday I really like how they feel matched with goodyear Eagle F1 AS tires.
