Mugen GP Wheels

Liu · 04-05-2007, 10:11 PM

I'm pretty sure these wheels aren't priced individually. Or rather, I hope they aren't. Anyway, which color should I get?

Gun Metallic or Bronze?

Kurt · 04-05-2007, 10:18 PM

What color car?

Type X · 04-05-2007, 10:24 PM

Mugen gp's are about 500+ for one.

Oh god... that's what I was afraid of... so that means the 18's I want are 710 each. That sucks... they don't list it as each wheel is individually priced like the ones above it though, strange.

Anyway, my car is GG.

why not get rotas 1/4 of the price i know there not mugens but still a good looking rim

Liu · 04-05-2007, 10:55 PM

That's the point, they are not Mugens... dammit... I don't want to be ridiculed for buying expensive rims by my gf... I know she's going to say something about it... or alot about it, and probably smack me... hmm.....

And subydude doesn't have 18 inch SDX's.

i not saying that buying mugen isnt a good idea if i had the money i d buy them in a heartbeat too. but from your first post it sounded like you were expecting to pay 710 for a set of rims

sdx dont come in 18 thats why

Kurt · 04-05-2007, 11:16 PM

That's a lot of money.

Just get some Volks

Liu · 04-05-2007, 11:22 PM

I was expecting to pay 710 for them, but they're Mugen and they look hot, so I'll pretty much do anything to get them.

Kurt · 04-05-2007, 11:32 PM

3 thousand dollars just in wheels.. man that's a ton of dough for a name. Sure they're Mugen, but still... 3 THOUSAND dollars on wheels?

**Tim** · 04-06-2007, 02:54 AM

Gun metal. Do it.

***boost1320*** · 04-06-2007, 03:03 AM

definately gun metal

cornerstrike · 04-06-2007, 10:08 AM

You can count in one hand how many Mugen products out there cost less then $600.

Sorry man, but you gotta pay to play (usually). In truth, you really are paying a premium for the name to a certain degree, but I don't think many people here will argue about the quality of Mugen parts. They're pretty much top of the heap for Hondas. In all honesty I would probably be rolling on GPs or maybe even MF10s if I didn't live in the property ownership hell that is Los Angeles County.

If you can afford it, cool. But don't get yourself into money trouble over a set of wheels. I don't know what the largest diameter for the Rotas is, but it would definitely give you the look for a hell of a lot less. It's worth considering.

BTW, I also have GG and I would go with the bronze:)

civic_06_si · 04-06-2007, 09:43 PM

the rota imitations and other imitations out there are missing one spoke. original mugen gps are seven spoke not six.
Get the mugens and be different from everyone else. plus get the silver ones, silver matches every car color.

**Tim** · 04-06-2007, 11:07 PM

No spoke missing. And they're a decent imitation of the real thing.

inyong1988 · 04-06-2007, 11:32 PM

bronze

Xenin · 04-07-2007, 12:00 AM

not only are Mugens expensive, but you also have to get Mugen lugs nuts as they have a different angle on the lugs and lugs nut holes on the wheels than aftermarket lugs/wheels.

Toxis · 04-07-2007, 03:19 AM

^and? Another $100 on lugs when you're already spending 3k on rims is what? Not a big deal. lol

Mugen > all. Nothing can compare.

That was one thing I loved about my integra... I could roll my MF-8's. Sigh.........
