The MB Battle // CST Zero 1 Thread

[Corbic]

Early in the 21st century the MB Battle rose to fame as the true work horse of the import community. For the first (and last) time in history, there was actually a wheel worth buying from Discount Tire.

While it's been argued whether Battles are relabeled Zero 1s or if they are clones - who gives a shit. There are a lot worse ways to spend $500 on a car.

Typically found in 17 x 9.5 and 18 x 9.5 in both +15 and +23 offsets.

This thread is for everyone's favorite seven spoke hero.

Every time I see them I just think Motegi Mr7. Maybe that's the early 2000s ricer in me.

Too bad battles are the most generic and gaudy wheels you can buy. "but sizing bro"

Rather take some rotas over battles.

Which I believe is the same thing as a Drag DR-33. Both suck because of the the 7" width and +40/42 offsets. Benign flat faced instead of sexy curved is just the nail in the concrete over the tomb.

Nah bro, sorry. Battles aren't bad. But Rota's LMGT4 reps look perfect on any Nissan with the right stance, IMO. To me, there's no shame in rocking a replica of a wheel that is no longer in production.

Yeah...

Sending them out for Chrome is ~$150 a wheel and Polishing is $250.

Battles are nice wheels for the price, but I really don't understand the hype over them.

You'd think a bunch of Nissan guys would show a little more love to the Nismo reps when looking for a cheap, concave wheel... But I guess not.

Do you guys really feel like Battles look better than these?

First - Battles are not reps. They are in fact CST Zeros that have not been polished so MB can sell them at a lower price point. So no shame from rolling on reps.

Second. Yes they look better. Nismos suck. Just chunky 5-spokes. Might as well get Rep TE37s or Kai's. Now if only someone would make rep Blitz 03s...

Nah dude you aren't understanding what he is saying. He's saying battles are real wheels and thus incomparable to a rep of a real wheel. You wouldn't compare a varrastone fake work equip to a real xd9 and then say, why don't you like the classic 5 spoke design of the varrastone? Homie got a little heated when he called out the design of the nismo wheels, but rightfully so considering you were trying to tell a sane human being that you can compare a rep to a real wheel.

To everyone talking about starting xxr wheel threads and everything of such a ludacris nature: go ahead. Just know that no one respects those wheels made of clay and false promises of style. Reps are reps.

[simmode1]

^^^Dude... I understand exactly what he's saying. I don't need a translator. I don't think either Rotas or Battles are worthy of respect. Not once did I mention respect. Battles are fucking $189 per wheel. Get over yourselves with the 'legit wheel' shit. Battles are broke bitch shit, just like Rotas and XXR. I'd respect FN01RC, RP03, RPF1 or anything from Cosmis before I'd respect Battles. My point was that if you discard the whole fake vs legit wheel bullshit, I fee that the classic 5 spoke LMGT4 style is more appealing than Battles. Doesn't make Battles a bad wheel. I'd give them the same level of respect I'd give any other cheap fucking wheel that still manages to look decent.

Edit: I just want to add that I think it's BS when ppl bash P45R's, when I've never read a single bad thing about Bee*R B5's or Uras NS-01's. I guess they're under the JDM hater protection umbrella...

@corbic

Battles are kind of reps though. They're just a more concave version of a T7. The same way a Rota Grid is just a more concave version of a TE37.

Cosmis is made in china stuff, on the same level as rota and xxr. Battles are actually pretty good wheels, much better than comis and china. You can tell by looking at the barrels and comparing them to other brands.

Ray's probably makes $3,000 dollars of profit per set of TE37s so price isnt' always a dictator of quality.

MB Battles are probably the absolute best wheel you can buy state side BNIB for under 200 a wheel in 18/17x9.5 +15

There was a thread here a while back about Uras NS-01s breaking.

[lowerclass]

^^^Dude... I understand exactly what he's saying. I don't need a translator. I don't think either Rotas or Battles are worthy of respect. Not once did I mention respect. Battles are fucking $189 per wheel. Get over yourselves with the 'legit wheel' shit. Battles are broke bitch shit, just like Rotas and XXR. I'd respect FN01RC, RP03, RPF1 or anything from Cosmis before I'd respect Battles. My point was that if you discard the whole fake vs legit wheel bullshit, I fee that the classic 5 spoke LMGT4 style is more appealing than Battles. Doesn't make Battles a bad wheel. I'd give them the same level of respect I'd give any other cheap fucking wheel that still manages to look decent.

Edit: I just want to add that I think it's BS when ppl bash P45R's, when I've never read a single bad thing about Bee*R B5's or Uras NS-01's. I guess they're under the JDM hater protection umbrella...

Your argument is that because they can be had a cheap price they are not worthy. Brace yourself for this because it might blow your mind, there is a website called Yahoo auctions japan, and on it you can buy a full set of SSR agle strusses for the exact same price as a full set of battles.
Lets also continue to point flaws into your backwards logic, you are arguing that a wheel that is forged is better than a wheel that is cast. Price left out of the equation that still means you are comparing apples to oranges in the wheel world. And you can't discard fake v real because it is a huge piece of the puzzle.
Thats all fine and dandy if you like one design over the other, great! I personally think the forged LMGT4's look way better and are obviously going to be better performers, they are forged. But that doesn't mean I'd compare a real wheel no matter the price point, to the replica/fake/cheap version of it. Just because they are at a similar price point doesn't mean they are at a similar quality point.

[simmode1]

^^^So your point is that LMGT4s (and by design, their replicas too) may look better than Battles, however, Battles are of a higher build quality yet lower price than any of the LMGT4 reps.

Ok, I can concede to that. I was only expressing my opinion based on looks and not really bringing quality into the equation. Based on looks, I couldn't see the hype over Battles. But if they are indeed the highest quality/strongest wheel available at the lowest price, that makes things more clear.

Actually, I searched for pics of broken Battles to see if that argument was true. Didn't find much at all. But we all know what you'll find if you search 'Broken P45R'. So, point made.

I never implied that Battles are reps.

We're all entitled to our own opinion and all but... You're saying forged Nismo LMGT4's suck? I dunno, man. That sounds pretty crazy to me. I guess they only appeal to those who lean more towards the purist/oem+ style of enthusiasts.

This is because there is a large segment, not just on Zilvia, but everywhere... that gives ZERO fucks about your real vs fake wheel debate. We just don't care. We just want a good looking wheel that good sizing that fits a preset budget. Real. Fake. Doesn't matter to most ppl. You guys are the minority. There are more important things to worry about in life. Your cheap Rotas/XXRs/Varrstoens/etc are not gonna fucking explode.

Yes, we know about Yahoo auctions japan, wheelflip, widening 2 piece wheels, etc. Don't care to go through the trouble. Just wanna get a brand new wheel with good sizing on order at a bargain price and forget about it.

It should be noted though, that I do not rock 'fake' wheels. I rock OEM Z33 wheels. Geez, what a headache it was to piece together 4 rear 18x8.5 Anniversary wheels at the time. If I wanna go through that kind of headache of getting real wheels again, I'll probably try to find some LMGT2's and rebarrel them. They're quite a bit cheaper than LMGT4's. But probably not. I will say this though: I try not to advocate for replicas of wheels that are still in production.

The other MB wheels were actually nicer wheels than the Battles. The Weapons and Competitions were actually made by A-Tech and were very good quality wheels. The Battles were Chinese shit, NOT made by A-Tech. I would like to see the stampings on the CST's to see if they were actually the same wheels, I've always been curious.

so I have also been wondering about this. The first pair of battle bought in 08 seemed to be better quality than the set I bought last year. The newer set powder coat seemed more fragile, and they definitely had the made in china stamped on the back. Let me take a look at my old battles, i dont think they have a cst stamp on them...

battles are dope, they were my first set of wheels back in 2008, loved them so much I bought a pair for skid spares now :) and that's coming from someone who had 18x9.5 + 12 CR Kai's and currently have 18x9.5 +12 chrome work XT7s

I'm trying to drop this subject to stop derailing the thread. But I know the story behind both those ancient history pics. What happened to that P45R was a lot worse that hitting a curb/pothole and could have happened to any wheel. Plenty of Rota/XXR in use daily driving, drifting & time attack with no issues at all. Don't act like Battles are unbreakable. Shit happens. Drop it.

That's clearly a curb hit, the only wheel I've ever seen come apart just while driving is XXR/sportmaxx not saying all of them will do that they are just the only wheel brand I've seen do that, all those wheels are ugly as fuck anyway though so.. I would run rotas for skid spares any day though as long as they are in good sizes and they look rad

Aside from really nice jdm wheels being cheaper to buy over there, if the wheel doesn't have the JWL stamping, I doubt such wheels can even be sold in Japan. Look into the JWL certification process for your answer as to why. I'm curious if the made in china Battles have the JWL stamping...

It was a sarcastic joke about how they run real wheels. I don't really understand why you are on this thread debating the quality of a proven japanese design that has been used and abused for years. You could also argue that replica's of te37's look better because they look like te37's. But that's not the point of this thread. It's to appreciate a cool japanese wheel, and probably the only one readily, affordably available in the US. Start a thread for appreciating rip off designs if that's what you are into. Just don't bring that attitude into this thread.

[Corbic]

Can anyone even prove CST's are not made in China? Believe it or not, most things are made there... From their website. (Note nothing about being made in Japan).

http://www.doall.jp/wheels/cst_wheels/cst_zero1/product.html

CST their meanings "Circuit Spec Tune"

We think of creative philosophy, it is to feed back the goods-class in circuit to the street. Wasteful meat to obtain a lightweight is scraped off, but the strength of the product that becomes the bone is not to drop to the absolute. The relative things based on past experience and proven track record, to be extracted with the best balance is also our mission.
The idea is also sometimes "was pointy" usually a different thing to be in spec (thinking). This is "rather than choosing a car goods, products choose the car" also becomes specs that. Also to pursue the only committed to stoic it is of such identity named this CST.

Also, always consider the market in terms of price, we have achieved a realistic price. In the price range that does not meet even make much better products to the market, it becomes the tail wagging the dog is not distributed to the market. Brand CST customers are asked to sympathize with our ideas, it is also a brand that is going to grow together.

About Zero1 Hyper

- Zero One hyper The
Is a Zero-1 Hyper that embodies the up circuit from the street. In that process was employed the low-pressure casting to pursue a balance of light weight and strength. Also by making up the strength of the material, to achieve a 18 percent lighter than comparable products in product weight dropped stripped useless flab. It spoke shape to adopt the design of strong shape to reduce the lateral stiffness of the power loss (cornering). And the inner rim was a strong rim designed to control the stress of the wall thickness distribution. In addition plus (VIA + 90 ° impact) 90 degrees impact test on VIA strength test (h = 140mm weight 1010Kgf) implementation and drum test 600 000 rotation It was stuck to durability, such as adding clear the strength criteria to finish the.
It is of a zero one hyper that poured all of the data and the ideal as we have.

Sure, man. I just wanted to understand the hype you guys have for these wheels, because they're on my short list as well. I just didn't get why you guys overwhelmingly LOOOOOOVE these wheels in comparison to other cheapass competitors. Now I know. The VIA & JWL certs say it all. Didn't even realize a china wheel could get a JWL cert.

I never hated these wheels, guys. Who could? They're so fucking cheap! But I might respect them more now.

What did you think the cert tested? Pound-force per square country of origin?

Do they need to be stripped for powder coat or can they go as is?

Not that it's a big deal or anything, the only requirement seems to be having battles

Honestly if that purple car didn't have those stickers it would be one of the best looking MB Battle equipped cars imo.

Owhale I shouldn't complain it's still clean as fuck and has cool paint.

Polishing and cheap will never be in the same sentence.
My friend had his powder coated a Metallicy silver, photo probably does it more justice, in person it is noticeably not polished but it's close enough

Probably the most cost effective option unless you wanna polish them yourself.

Why wouldn't one be messing with a 240 even if one has a 911? You act like a 240 is a something that can't built into a just as fun if not more fun car, faster, cooler looking etc.

Proof?

If you go back in the thread, hundreds of hours of research have determined they are the same wheel.

I would not use online posted weights as an indication of anything. Coating, sizing, offset, packaging and even the scale used will impact shipping weights.

[91cupcake240]

I saw it somewhere online a while back. Someone had a zero and a battle and weighed both of em. The battle was a Lil bit heavier, don't remember the difference tho. So I just assumed:P

I'd have to see it and talk to the person.

I'd expect the wheels to have some variance in weight anyways. This is why tires and wheels need to be balanced and are not always balanced the same.

shit I guess i just really didn't look over it very well, the page I got from has been posting verossa's lately, so I musta just thought it was a verossa
It's a chaser BTW
What I'm saying is, it needs battles on all 4 wheels :coolugh::coolugh:, and not some fishbowl looking shit in rear.

scroll down to it, they seem to think it's a chaser too, on 2 seperate occasions even.
it does have the sharp rear pillar of an altezza though, along with the grill.....must be an altezza then . people on FB don't know shit I guess, just went back to the post, saw that it says chaser, and was like it's a chaser den

His fronts are indeed 17's, Brandon is running the TDP Angle Kit, for clearance purposes he has to stick with the 17 up front. He mentioned that his front bumper and fender would get destroyed if he was running 18's. I'll see if I can get any other close ups on his setup. He is running 18's in the rear.
