MHT wheels may have some forged wheels, but from what I remember, they were mostly one piece jobs like Niche and Foose and DUB and the like. I remember the Niche Bella's, to copy RonJon's quote about the factory 19" optional wheels being "as heavy as the sun".

Don't knock the 32lbs Niche Bella's. I had a set on my Civic back in the day. I sure that they added at least 1/2 second in the 1/4 mile.

LOL, it's a shame when people add aftermarket wheels without a care inthe world how heavy they are, then they're surprised when their ET *does* drop a 1/2 sec or more. Needless to mention the decline in braking and handling.

It's like:

"Would you rather run a marathon in Army boots or Nike's?"

sorry guys! it was meant to be MHT LOL, and yeah they are quite pricey... i went to a decent wheel shop that's in my state today (in Australia) and apparently they say my car's offset is +50 or something, and i originally wanted 19 / 20 what ever looks better, they say there just ain't much style for 19s and the only 20 that would fit is 20x7.5 TIS 07??? I'm sure there are more that would fit right? help me out guys lol i wouldn't really want to be stuck with only chrome option! My car is a volcano grey colour as well call it here, i would love some recommendation in brands that aren't too expensive and good quality :P thanks!
