MB Battles have a new successor... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***FaLKoN240*** · 01-08-2018, 10:52 AM

RIP MB Battle... thank you for being the transition wheel everyone in America needed.

If everyone is wondering why they can't find new MB Battles... It's because they've been replaced.

The new wheel is called MB Revolt.

(It's also $50 cheaper per wheel than MB Battles were.)

Hmm....I dont like the faces of the spokes. But to each is own.

Almighty So · 01-08-2018, 11:10 AM

Rip. Was never a giant fan of battles but would rather see them than xxrs. Not a big fan of this design either but cheaper is always cool (if the quality isn’t also lowered)

I was never a huge fan of the Battles, but damn these fuckers are repugnant.

*exitspeed* · 01-08-2018, 05:28 PM

Yeah those are pretty damn ugly.

tuzzio · 01-09-2018, 08:08 AM

RIP battles. I liked them on certain cars for sure. But this is awful

Cannonblaster · 01-12-2018, 12:46 PM

Ugly.............

jumpman2334 · 01-18-2018, 02:46 PM

I understand the battles have been around for forever and im sure some think its gotten stagnant, but Americas tire/MB wheels discontinuing the battle makes zero sense to me with how popular these wheels are. I don't think anyone else could name another wheel that MB makes, aside from the battle (without having to go on their site, revolt excluded).

Id be willing to wager they are by far and away the most popular wheel for the altezza in north America (have you seen the is300 starter pack memes?). I see them regularly on here as well. I could see if they were releasing a v2/updated battle, but you give us that revolt garbage? c'mon. I was going to try and buy a set of battles for backups when I had the spare cash but I guess not now. I don't think ive ever been bummed about 'non-legit' wheels being discontinued. LOL

FYI, anyone looking to buy in 17, I recommend doing ASAP. Americas tire is on ebay and has good deals. The 18s are all gone.

*e1_griego* · 01-18-2018, 03:24 PM

It's..... revolting.

At least they named it correctly?

jumpman2334 · 02-01-2018, 03:44 PM

not sure if any of you care anymore, but here is what happened. I got this info directly from Direct tire:

Quote:

The manufacturer that produced the MB Battle for us sold their business so as of right now the Battle is out of production. If that changes, we'll certainly post up!

***FaLKoN240*** · 02-01-2018, 05:25 PM

That's even more disappointing than the new wheel lol.

OutlawLui · 02-01-2018, 05:27 PM

Don't those come stock on Honda elements or something lol

I have a Honda Element. My stock wheels look better than this.

jumpman2334 · 02-02-2018, 02:02 PM

again, not sure if any of your care but ive been chatting with an Americas tire rep on another forum and here is a quick little update:

Quote:

That being said, I forwarded your comments to our wheel team at our Corporate office and was told that they are exploring the possibility with the new manufacturer of bringing back the Battle in the 17x9 +30, 17x9.5 +15 and 18x9.5 +15 sizes. Fingers crossed!

18x9.5 +23 was a good size too

simmode1 · 02-02-2018, 03:00 PM

^^^You da MVP. Gotta keep the CST/A-Tech's alive... That design has bounced from company to company for like a decade. Don't nobody wanna buy that Revolt shit...lol

*brndck* · 02-02-2018, 04:14 PM

1: I like battles
2: these new wheels look terrible
3: does a straw have one hole or two?

I knowwwww, bummed about that as I wanted a cheap set of wheels to match my +22 rays if I ever needed spares in a pinch. but at this point in time, ill take what I can get. the altezza starter pack memes will never be the same without 9.5j +23 battles. :/

oh, if anyone is still interested in these but in 17s, they still have some available in 9/9.5j.

SimpleSexy180 · 02-14-2018, 10:56 AM

Paired again, I had two of those regular mb battles, but the football looking half shape is ok.

ZenkiKid · 02-15-2018, 11:33 AM

i bought a set of these for my FA5 civic si in bronze. 17x8.

Ended up being $200 after discounts and rebate.

I bought them back in November the weekend after black friday

They were $400 before a $100 instant rebate

and then it included a $100 mail in rebate on top of that.

I knew they were made by A-tech so I did some browsing and found out they are also named A-tech Finalspeed Eraser Kai

My FA5 lowered on Mugen springs with said MB Revolts:
