I agree completely... they are bad to me because they are HEAVY and big and will make your car noticably slower, and i am trying to go fast... but given you are lookign for 17's for your civic, i will assume that going fast is not your main concern... so given that, i say go with them, who cares... i have not heard any actual evidence that would make me think that they will peel, bend, or crack sooner than any other wheel... white is a ***** to keep clean.. i would give that some thought, but besides all that i say WHY NOT..:thumbup:

 

They're practiacally identical to Konig Tantrums. The only difference is the spokes on the MR7's are a little shorter than the spokes on the Tantrums. I have Tantrums on my car and my friend has MR7's on hers. Everyone thinks we have the same rims, except hers are white.

 

Motegi makes knock-off's of popular styles. With *minor* differences. My take, honestly, don't waste your money on wheels that are 'cheap' because they really are 'cheap'... you'll wind up bending them easily and have to keep re-ordering wheels. I highly suggest just saving up a little more money and then buy a QUALITY set, to save you the trouble and money in the long run....from experience....

 

If you like that style, spend a little extra and get the Tantrums.. I got mine from Whalentire.com for $1,060.77 shipped. That price included the wheels, tires (Kumho Ecsta Supra 712), lug nuts, wheel locks, mounting and balancing. Good price for all that.

 

an example of quality wheels that aren't heavy would be ??

 

Racing Hart

 

spoon or spoom

 

hey there good weels i have had them for a year now the only prob that i have is yes there a ***** to clean becase there white but thats about it and hey man its up to you want you want to get whatever pleases you!!!!

 

there - "look over there!"

their - "That is theirs."

They're - "hey they're good wheels"

also, punctuation's cool

 

someone mentioned 17"s and racing... do 17's slow your ass down or something?
