Debating On Rims...

Tim620X · 02-02-2008, 02:53 PM

Alright I'm having a tough time deciding which rims I want to get for my NHBP FG2 when I get my tax return money. I'm going to be getting new rims/tires and a catback exhaust. I don't want crazy expensive rims, so right now I'm going between these three...

Raze R74's

(Only concern with these, is I seen them on a GG colored Si and they matched up perfectly color wise, and I'm looking for a darker colored rim.)

Enkei RSV's

MB Wheels Weapon's

(Most expensive... like them b/c they kind of look like the Mugen GP's. Someone on here just ordered them but they haven't put them on yet.)

What do you guys think?!

Here's my car that they'll be going on:

Tim620X · 02-02-2008, 04:32 PM

Anyone?!...

***msjwild3*** · 02-02-2008, 04:36 PM

Thos MB Wheels Weapon's look sweet. Where you going to buy them from? Ya they kinda look like GP's.

***NitrousG35*** · 02-02-2008, 04:44 PM

On looks alone, I would go with the MB wheels. They are hot looking. My only concern would be their weight. Do you know how much they weigh?

**Izzy** · 02-02-2008, 04:48 PM

From the THREE, the MB.

Tim620X · 02-02-2008, 04:53 PM

Not sure on the weight, they don't list it on the website.

I would be getting them from discounttiredirect.com

Also, would I need to purchase new valve stems and lug nuts when getting new rims?!

jlbartle · 02-02-2008, 04:55 PM

I'd look at the tenzor dc5 or 6 version 2 black chrome lip. They weigh less and look clean on a black fg2

Unfortunately, discount tire does not give the wheel weight unlike TireRack which does. Nevertheless, the MB wheels would look so good on your NHBP Si. They really do look like the Mugen wheels.

Ragnarok534 · 02-02-2008, 04:57 PM

Please don't get black rims. Go with the gun metal ones on the bottom.

ThePrinceSat · 02-02-2008, 04:59 PM

Hfp lip kit all around instead.

MB Weapons. MB Wheels are pretty light, I just don't remember exactly what. I think they were 18-ish pounds.

I'd get MB's Gear though, which looks nicer imo.

You'd need new lugs, not valve stems tho.

**Nomar06** · 02-02-2008, 06:40 PM

out of the 3, the MB's

vtecmike1 · 02-02-2008, 07:06 PM

just a quick thing. if you plan on getting the mb weapons. they don't offer a 18x7.5 in our bolt pattern from what i could find and the 18's they do offer in our size are 18x8 but only have a offset of 30. too low imo. the only 18's they offer in our bolt pattern and a decent offset are 18x9 and you'd rub i would think.
if you go 17's your fine. unless im looking at the wrong info i just didnt see anywhere else

jennerz22 · 02-02-2008, 07:19 PM

I like the MBs.

Rpm2 · 02-02-2008, 07:20 PM

I like the last ones

24boosted · 02-02-2008, 09:22 PM

Almost thought the MB Gear were Works. Very clean.

Mycivicsi · 02-02-2008, 09:33 PM

Tim620X · 02-03-2008, 10:49 AM

Alright guys, thanks for your input. Deff. going to go with the MB's. Mycivicsi really helped with the pic. of them on his Evo... even better seeing them on a car!

Jayman82 · 02-03-2008, 10:52 AM

MB Gear's all the way!! They're like stock rims on steroids

the first set of MB's are a close second
