These MB's are cheap at 150.00 a piece you can't beat it.

looks like 17/18 to me

i find it weird that the 18x9.5 comes in +23...

Matej · 03-08-2008, 08:50 PM

Anyone know what sizes and offsets these come in, does MB make anything deep in 18?

LB.Motoring · 03-08-2008, 08:56 PM

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

well according to discount tire dot com those dont come in 5x114.3 so it dont matter.

Matej · 03-08-2008, 11:41 PM

Ohhh...gheysauce, ehh, I don't like them anymore anyway haha.

I can't decide if I want a sporty look with concave wheels, or a street car deep lip look. They can both look great, tough choice.

Hmm, I'm leaning more towards deep, even though the price of MB wheels is tempting.

r-b-x · 03-09-2008, 01:25 AM

kazama is/is going to sell a 4 lug version of the cst hypers. does that mean mb can get ahold of 'em as well?

yea dude, that polished lip sticking out past the super stretched tire look is always a sight to see. ive always liked the whole "fat lip front, concave face rear" look. if anybody, you could pull it off and that way you save money too ahaha.

you hit a LOG at 60mph

the barrel material is what you need to look t in this case....

a cast barrel will rip like paper,

a spun barrel will bend and ultimately retain air... and rolling integrity.

`i could go`on for hours

no

MB buys in batch, which means what they have is what they've got. No custom orders, no nothing.

I used to deal with them, this is how it is. You can't request a finish, bolt pattern, offset, anything. Their wheels are already made long before they even know they're going to sell them lol

The 4-lug CST's aren't custom, they sell them normally, so if MB buys another batch it could be possible. You can already buy a set through RHD Japan for about 1400$ shipped.
I think they only make them in one size though, and it's weak, 17x9 +27.

atom · 03-09-2008, 02:08 PM

They ARE custom. Only Kazama sells the 4 lugs like the guy said above.

Anyways, I just noticed MB is gonna be selling the Manaray EXE Sportlines. I totally wanted these for my DD. Sweet.

no we're on different pages

i meant w/e MB has, is what they're gonna sell...You can't call them and be like "hey if i get 10 guys can you do such and such?"

They present the inventory that they buy as what they produce

i can get them less than that

regardless, buying the first knockoff of a wheel is cool

but the knockoff of a knockoff

drift into a curb · 03-09-2008, 07:18 PM

What's these weigh like? My T7s weigh 20lbs even for a 18x9. I'm just curious....

Technically its not a knockoff of a knockoff, its a rebadging of a knockoff.

turbo2nr · 03-09-2008, 08:32 PM

17x9.5 is 23lb

drift into a curb · 03-09-2008, 08:48 PM

Thanks for the info. My 18x10 T7 is 21.05 lbs!!

Ian · 03-09-2008, 11:26 PM

i weighed these and they looked more like 20 lbs for 17x9.5

they feel light

articdragon192 · 03-10-2008, 12:08 AM

I'm getting a set for my Z32 for drifting. Hopefully before they run out, lol.

Grant dont get pissy you lost a edge of the market, hahah JK

I'd get a set of these if I had a S chassis still for track rims, damn stupid COrollAs

Kcheng · 03-10-2008, 01:27 AM

Does any body have a pic of how they look like from the back where it sits on the HUB/brake? i wanna see if i can get a 25mm spacer in there
thanks.

drift into a curb · 03-10-2008, 01:55 AM

with a 25mm spacer, it'll cover the wheel studs. My 20mm almost cover them I'm pretty sure.

Kcheng · 03-10-2008, 02:03 AM

i got a 25mm and the open end lugs bulge out by like 2mm maybe so i cant get it to sit on a flat back side

heiyuu · 03-10-2008, 04:25 AM

Fuck if only they offered em polished like CSTs I'd be all over this:

Ian · 03-10-2008, 08:42 AM

hitman · 03-10-2008, 10:33 AM

gay; these wheels used to be cool.
they might still be but probably not for much longer anymore lol

LB.Motoring · 03-10-2008, 10:37 AM

RIP once decently cool track rim CST's

Ian · 03-10-2008, 10:41 AM

I can guarantee that they're not gonna get played out as bad as everyone is afraid of.

I'm gonna run these until I get a job and get something better.
