Mb battles

[zaquanh]

this is just a head up to let every one know about them
i just got off the phone with discount and

they are no longer going to be making 18x9.5 +15

and currently of all discount warehouses they have 82 wheels left of 17x9.5 +15

[jrocslider]

my brother just shattered his 18x9.5+15. you have probably seen his white coupe before. i just spoke to discount tire about an hour ago and they said they will be getting a new shipment in the beginning of march.

[smelly240]

i was told that they wont get them again also - by dtd.

its cool. i thought it was another company who produced them than supplied them to Mb and CST? i cant remember the name at the moment. i read something like that in one of the old MB Battle threads. the guy i talked to at the Discount Tire at the Forum didnt really know what he was talking about.

[420sx]

wow talk about some curb rash lol...

[ZX88]

no more battles! oh noes!

[SoSideways]

I'm basically forced to buy the 17x9.5s to drift on.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I wanted 18x9.5 damnit.

[jrocslider]

my brother said he hit a pot hole and spun out. he hit a curb at about 20. i dont really believe that 20mph statement though.

[420sx]

20 mph?? was that like a 3 foot pothole/drop off?? lol

[YoungGun]

No way i've dirt dropped my battles and then right into and up a rumble strip at about 30.

It only dented the wheel and it still holds air.

Also I checked americas tire and they have 18x8.5? WTF

[OBEEWON]

MB's are made by Milton Bradley. 1 2 3 esplode. At least Rota's just bend lol.

[turbo2nr]

i live in nyc and i hit potholes with a stretched tire doing 60+mph and i got no bends or scratches on my battles, homeboy had do hit some thing hard to destroy the wheel like that..

[OBEEWON]

He ran over my fist.

[zaquanh]

hahaha wow tha pics in here are crazy lmao that was not a curb at 20mph , no way

and yea discount has one 18x9.5 +15 left if u want it , call the 1800 number but i wasnt guna buy it lol wtf am i guna do wit one cool wheel lmao

and cst and mb are 2 diffrent wheels both knock offs, lets not make this into the cst vs mb thread tho lol

im not sure if they are still making cst's

i saw some on ebay but the guy wanted to much , they was 17x9.5 +15 , so for the cost , might as well get mb's


all i gota say is , how the fuck did one of the cheapest wheels ever , look damn good and a good price and are not like a fuckin RARE wheel lmao thats crazy

[TheRonTom31]

WHo was the idiot to take and discontinue a wheel that was becoming incredibly populars.

I mean what asshole was like OHH LOOK AT THIS I CAN MAKE TONS OF MONEY HERE AND MAKE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAPPY. I WILL FAIL AT LIFE AND DO THE TOTAL OPPOSITE


RAAAAAAGE

FNs were overshadowed by the Failmax 962, don't have to worry about FNs anymore. Not to mention FNs actually had decent sizes and fitment.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

sucks i wanted these whenever i got around to 5-lug :(

[OBEEWON]

Rota is king.

[SoSideways]

There are way too many different stories in regards to the Battles.

I wish they would just come out and say "we're getting more" or "we aren't getting more" and be done with it.

DAMN IT! i just loled so hard i farted!

[roorr0]

[YoungGun]

I like these wheels.

Anyone ever try to polish them?

I think I will be the first to try.

[zaquanh]

rota still has the p45r +12 offset atlease they know that they are makin money ,

i want them in white :(

[YoungGun]

If you do them in white, get them powdercoated for sure.

I spray bombed mine and if you track your car they will start looking like shitty shit FAST.

[zaquanh]

yea i would , look at these , ugh sexy , if they was 18s it would fill it out better

imagine that with a kit and 20mm front 40mm rear tucked :)

[jrocslider]

my brother fit these stock body on a coupe so 20mm and 40mm is overkill.

CST sells/sold them in chrome.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

no need for overfenders dood.

For a lot more dough too.

[Steveohoes]

good thing they stopped making them. EVERYONE has these wheels. Ive seen like 7 cars with these wheels in person.

no you have seen the wheels sure but i bet you havent ran into 7 people with that size ,

they didnt discontinue the wheel they discontinued the size


and overs arent to much for those wheels if you have a spacer ,

[SoSideways]

I don't know man, it sure seems like they're trying to sell the rest of the wheels and never restock them anymore, since every single Battle wheel on DTD's site is on special.

[turbo2nr]

they said "these are discontinued" when they first released them and sold out.
then magically 17x9.5+15 came back... they like messing with our heads

Ugh man... tell that dude to get some real wheels and not cheap out with those battles :fawk: lol

[420sx]

if its for drifting battle do just fine. i don't see why people throw out a big deal about cheap wheels to drift on; not everyone can afford to drift on hre's or rays. needless to say cheaper to replace in this case

[EDz s14]

^^^Chill man thats a pic of my car lol :rawk:

I believe it. I had a set of these and never hit more than a small bump in the road. the next time i went to discount tire the two front ones were fucked... one was cracked and the other was bent. I complained enough and they bought me a set of FN01-RC's for the crappiness of the MB Battles. They're nice looking rims though!

[bejota180sx]

those are 17s on his car if i remember correctly when he told me,
are 18s gonna be back or not cause i want 18s but since they aren't being made i was just gonna go with 17s... i want discount tire to tell everyone the same thing... some people get the we will be getting them back and others the they are discontinued... make up your mind so i can order my sets or just wait till 18s get here...

[murda-c]

so apparently these wheels are shittier than i thought?

yea i know what you mean , i called discount cuz i couldnt find a number for mb

they said they have 1 18x9.5 +15 left out of all the ware houses and 82 17's and they arent making more after that , , unfortunantly there isnt a contact for mb or i would call them and ask lol

[JohnJohn86]

You guys may think they are selling a lot because it's popular amount 240 group. But I bet not many other owners would get these wheels.
When comparing to other product lines, these wheels may not be selling so well afterall.

not only that, but they got these shipped over from japan according to the rep at MB that I talked to.

[AznDrftr.]

Damn that sucks.

I'll just stick with my MB Revs lol.

[illvialuver]

good thing they stopped making them. EVERYONE has these wheels. Ive seen like 7 cars with these wheels in person.
that never stopped them from making professors, or vskfs

[420sx]

yea but thats different price range, a lot less broke ass bums can afford works, rays etc

[illvialuver]

true but then why are sooo many of them played out?

[ZX88]

just orded some gun metal ones today. might as well considering its probably the best fitting wheel for the price. ( thats new)
