Hello all,

I am now shopping for wheels, I dont want anything to big, 17s are fine. I was really just wondering what people thought of these wheels...looks, fitment and brand?

I think they look ~ok~ , similar to stock wheels, but shinier. I don't know anything about the quality of the brand. According to the ebay listing, they should fit our car though.

 

thanks for the reply, I couldnt find much info about the brand. I have a feeling that this wheel buying process is gonna take a while, Im still trying to understand all the aspects of wheels.

Is there a range of offsets I have to stay with in and does each offset offer a different apperance on the car?

And does Hub Bore matter a whole lot?


Thanks again

They look heavier than stock... OK i guess. Not my style.

17x7.5 +42mm will fit no problem.

 

MSR is a knock off company.

I have owned 2 sets of thier wheels in the last two years. I had a set that looked like Racing Harts & a set that looked like Axis 7 Mods.

The wheel you are asking about is a knock off of the Axis Spiders.

Their wheels are good quality & hold up if you take care of them. The down side is they make it so their wheels fit a wide range of car makers, mostly Honda is their concern. In turn you get stuck with one offset & one only, no custom offsets with MSR. Spacers may help to get you the look you are after. If the +42 will fit with no problem you may or may not just want to push them out a little more.

FYI That rim is also availible in a 18" if you wanna step it up.

If you do buy them I would mount them & see from there.

I am very familiar with this wheel company so if you have any more question just ask :D

PS : If you check my xB in my profile, that is rolling on the 18" 7 mod knock offs.

 

they look good, might want to check how much they weigh and what there made of. The size is same as the stock 17" so u wont even have to buy new rubbers. ++

 

they are knock offs of the 18" m3 wheel.......

 

yeah, and they remind me of the jotech tC wheels too

 

that came to my mind too.

but heck, they might work since our headlights look like the new bmw's.

well it has really just come down to these wheels and the Rota D2s in Royal Silver 17"x7.5" from suby-dude.

Ill have to do alittle more homework on the MSR wheels first, I really like the looks of them. I think they would look pretty good on SW!


Thanks again for all the posts

D2's That's what I just sold my MSR's for

I got the gold D2's in a 17 X 8.5

Good luck with your choice, they are both nice wheels IMO.

 

Blue05xb,
Thanks for all the info, What tires did you have on the MSRs? and where did you get them?

Im not a big fan of spending large chunks of manoey on ebay!


thanks again

im waiting for the D2's to come out in 18's....anybody know the specific date?

 

I was running 215/35/ZR18 Kumho Ecsta Supra's From Tire Rack. The price is very reasonable & it is the best tire I ever owned. I also had these on my 17" wheels I had before the 18's.

I see you are from PA, I didn't realize that before. Hit me on my AIM when you get a chance I may be able to get you a better selection & size from MSR for around the same price or less. I have a connection & may be able to help you out a lil more
