I am in love with these rims! but does motegi even make them with a 5 lug pattern? eBay doesn't Its all those damn hondas. I want a wheel/tire packahe for under 900 bucks. help? TIA

Yea they make them in the 5 lug pattern. I have the 17 x 7 MR7s and they look great IMO. Looks even better with a drop...

any thing chrome except for stock is gonna cost you an ass and a half
try www.wheelmax.com

There might be a cheap set floating around the Phoenix area....

Ok ok, bad joke.

Here is the excel from that site....$799 for 17X7



and here is the Motegi...$899





Why the $100 diff? Are the Motegi's that much better??

I really like those wheels also.

yeah i was about to say pepboys. they have em there. and you could also get the lugs you wanted for em too.

They are DIRT cheap at summitracing.com

Anybody know where to get them in nor. Cali or better yet in the bay area? I dont want to pay shipping and I think the last time i checked summit they didn't have chrome. The reason I LOVE these is because they nice an plain. Very clean you know and not too busy looking like they can fly or something. They also look really easy TO clean. I want 18" and that another price hike. So chrome is like a $100 extra a wheel and to go from 17" to 18" is like ANOTHER $120 p/wheel. Can anyone advise?

I would strongly suggest NOT getting chrome. Get alloy. And yes those rims are easy as hell to clean, much like mine. My rims remind me of those.

>help? TIA

I'm responding to my own post here but I guess I'm not going to get 18" chrome motegi mr7's for w tires for under 900, what was I thinking... nobody loves scirio

Motegi does make them in a 5 lug pattern. As far as the difference between "brands" there really is none. There are only a couple of rim manufacturers out there. They sell the rims to different companies where they in turn put there logo/model info on the wheel and/or the centercap. Motegi rims are manufactured by American Racing.

Personally I like the chrome rims, but you've got to baby them more than the others.

Nice choice for your ride though. ;)

Yeah they make em in 5 lug and yes there probably is a cheap set floating around Phoenix courtesy of me, hehehehe

is that "pheonix" thing an inside joke i don't get? Wasnt there a chaiin of rim-jacking going on there a while back. *GASP* was that you??!!!!

Main difference between brands is the weight. Konig Tantrums are identical to my rim cosmetically, but a 19" Kinig Tantrum weighs less than my 28lb. 18" MR7.....however, I saved hundreds just choosing Motiegi over Konig..and it kinda seems since I got them Motegi is becoming more popular, not as much of an 'off-brand'

GASP! yea that was me....I just got my replacements put on, with lug locks. And naturally I'm looking for a car alarm.
