jasejase Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have the MR118's for my winter setup, and they are great. Not sure on the weight, but they aren't super light. The price was fantastic however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyCT Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Last set i had, they were super heavy compared to other wheels i've had before. Other then that they were definitely a solid setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 yeah... mine in 18" inch are 24.5 pounds i guess. Likely pretty close to the oem spec.b wheels i run in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Motegi are a brand under American Racing used to be good wheels not sure after they were bought out by another company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pako Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just got a set on my car, less than 1000 miles ago (see avatar) . 18x8 at only 18.3lbs each. Much better than my other "cheap" wheels. For a painted wheel, I am happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred_Buchi Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 They have their crappy wheels that are offered in pep boys and are like 25 lbs for 17" and then they have a more expensive category (Motegi Track Light? Motegi Race? I don't remember) and some of those are forged and seem like high quality light weight wheels. For the money I think Motegi is decent, much like Rota. Actually I prefer Rota to Motegi, but that's not really based on experience I just like their styles better. Above that I would go OZ, Enkei, or Prodrive, then above that you've got all of your rays engineering brands, BBS, etc. I had some 5zigens a while back and they were pretty lame. Finish flaked off for no good reason after like a year. They dented easily compared to the enkeis I had after that I'm pretty sure took more pot hole abuse than the motegis on the same size tire and were fine.

wera832 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Alfred - Id LOVE some BBS's ,but , the budget just simply will not allow for them . Somehow two of the rims that are on the car now have been bent , that vibration is just getting too annoying - I figure I will get these and use them for a while and maybe upgrade futher down the road , or just keep these aslong as they hold up well - Hoping to get the wheels , new brakes, hubs and shocks done twords the end of the week so I will throw some pics up when they get installed - thanks t oeveryone for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
