Friend of mine has them, I don't really like them personally, but personal preference is subjective, do what you like...

first off
both look like ass
secondly (and most importantly) the offsets are RIDICULOUSLY high. they would look HORRIBLE.

the first ones make me want to vomit..........the second ones only give me diahrrea.

the weights and offsets give me an ulcer.

So if your going to put those ugly rims on there it's your choice but I'd run a wheel adapter to make them flush with the car. Then again why you wanna put a pizza cutter 7 inch wide rims on yoru car.

Doesn't Motegi make the RO_JA rims??? If you could get those it would be better....

Wow. What's really wrong with those offsets? Stock SE alloys are +40mm, also. Well.. I guess that's 1/2rim width +40mm.

A guy I work with just bought a set of Motegi wheels for his accord about 3 weeks ago.. I noticed a HUGE dent in one of them and a crack above the dent.. I thought for sure he hit a curb or something.. when I asked him about it, he said he hit a pothole.. he said it didn't even seem like that big of a pothole, so he didn't even look.. 3 days later when he actually got around to look, he was like WTF?!!?!?!

I'd say stay away.. save your money, and buy something thats not crap.

they look kinda fugly, both of 'em. plus, those are some [email protected]$$ wheels. the MR8 is the only one that looks somewhat decent. but it's still too damn heavy...

Motegi's are complete crap. Way to heavy. The Mr12 is the best bet though. I would still atleast move up to the Rota "racing hart knockoffs."

Enkei make much better wheels (IMO) than Ro_Ja or Motegi. Go with the enkeis (almost ANY are better than RJ/Motegi)... RP01 or RP02- if either is still in production. :)
