shawnono · 05-11-2008, 02:03 PM

MB weapons cause they don't have the extra holes :P

Detox · 05-11-2008, 02:32 PM

i like the kspeed gp's.

Tredd · 05-11-2008, 02:59 PM

im goin to get some bronze MP Weapons soon, think they look cleaner without the fake GP thingy there

Emerican · 05-11-2008, 08:40 PM

Yeah if they first wheels didn't have the GP thing on them then they would be nice.. but it makes them look bad because they are not GP's..

woznickiaj · 05-11-2008, 08:43 PM

What do the weapons weigh 17x7 i tried even there site and i cant find out !!

FINAL SPEED ERASER

I believe the weapons are basically a US branded version of the A-tech finalspeed erasers, so from the site you can see that the 17 x 7's weigh in 8.20 kg for +43 offset, so roughly 18 lbs

woznickiaj · 05-12-2008, 10:26 PM

who sells the a-tech's like site wise?

wilsontieu · 05-12-2008, 10:48 PM

not able to find a site that sells the a-tech brand, but the U.S. versions can be found here.. Home - Discount Tire Direct

So what is the US versions of a-tech rims? What do they call?

Tredd · 05-13-2008, 01:06 PM

Called Discount Tire about the MB weapons yesterday, and they told me that they discontinued them. Anyone else know or hear different?

***illusionstwice*** · 05-13-2008, 01:09 PM

the Kspeed even SAYS GP on them. Bootleg = FTL.

Discountinued Wheels

At least there not on this list yet- LoL

I would love to buy the MB Weapons in a 17x8 43- But the weight was 22 LBs (At least it's 1 LBs lighter then stockies) LOL

I emailed discount tires and they told me same thing (22lb) but they feel quite lighter then the stock rims, I have them at home and I’ll weight them as soon as I’ll take the old tires off.

PS mine are also 17x8 +43

if you're looking for something close to Mugen GP wheels then go with the GP replicas, if you want wheels similar but with style of their own then go with MB Weapons

What tire size were you running on them... 225/45/17? And no rubbing...?

Also, I really like the Mugen GP Color in person (That flat charcoal look) Does the MB's match or look closely to them?
