MB wheels?

I did a search for them and nothing turned up. I will try the "Wheel Gallery" when I get home (flickr won't work at work).

Has anybody heard good/bad things about these? They are a Discount Tire exclusive, whatever that means.

Just looking for constructive criticism

I've had troubles trying to post this damn thing. When I first posted it, it went to Wash and Wax for some reason.

Hope this works now

I thought so too.

I hope that second link is working for you guys (gals).

I just hope that for $129 they aren't pieces of shit. But they do have a warranty through Discount Tire (not the manufacturer)

For $130? I like the look. As long as you're ok with the terms of the warranty, if its what you want, go for it.

For $129 they are 17s. Just looked, they have 18s for $149, still not too bad.

These are now definitely on my list. The competition is OEM Silver Stars or the '05 RSX-S rims.


I just bought a dslr camera so the wheels will have to wait at least a little bit. Prolly once I get the camera paid off.

There is not too much you will find on MB wheels on the net. If I am not mistaken, they are exclusive to discount tire.

I used to own the MB Design Vision wheels in chrome. Not bad for an inexpensive wheel. It wasn't Lowenhart chrome for sure, but it did the job I guess.

The only thing I would watch out for is the weight of the wheel. I had 18x7.5 on 235/50/18 tires and the combo weighed in at 56 lbs. I didn't care cause they were on a Grand Prix that had some torque and I wanted a simple wheel in chrome really bad.

Those wheels look good, if they weren't that much more heavy than stock they might be a good bet.

I found on some website (still trying to find) that they weigh about 20 lbs a piece.

Here are the details 17X7 5-114.3 48GM (I am assuming that the 48 means off-set. What tire size will work with these? Will the OEM 215-45/17 work?

215-50-17 is the OEM size, 45 is undersized
