Next Year Summer Choice?

[Kip2MyLou]

Anybody have any experience or no anybody with this brand? I really love the look. It's my cheaper TD 1.2 option. Ha. They have a size 16 option too, which I think I might do next summer.

I run MSW wheels as my winter wheels and have had them on a few other cars with good luck..

 

[Kip2MyLou]

Cool. I like the multi spoke look on our cars, but really don't want to spend the TD 1.2 or OZ money. :\

One thing to consider is weight, the extra cost to save a few lbs per corner is one of the cheapest all around performance mods you can make as it effects every single aspect, acceleration, braking, handling and things like ride, wear and tear on the suspension and chassis. Since next summer plan save a few more bucks, skip something with barely any real performance gain, get the best low weight well made wheels you can

They do look great though and are of decent quality so that is not an issue, just make sure not to heavy as most of theirs are so they are great low winter wheels.

Tirerack shows the 17x7" at 19.6 lbs and the 16x6.5" at 16.6 lbs, nice weight savings but a bit narrow for our cars and the tires are far more limited in choices and many times the 16" tires will weight more than the 17's in a lower profile.

I think the OZ wheels are nice but overpriced and the better value is the TD wheels but I would ask for the exact weight for the offset you are looking into .

The value winner seems to be the Motegi MR125 at 17x7.5 and only 16.4#.

Here are some Konig made, decent weight, low cost, nice looking wheels good wheels in 16x7.

Some 17x7 that are nice as well.

The Motegi is absolutely a great value and I have not heard of any broken ones so made well for the weight. Not quite my style but I like the cost, weight, width......

 

[Benito Malito]

I've had decent luck with Konigs for daily driver but they are so light I'd think twice before using it for serious track use. I'm sure someone will immediately tell me about the 100k track miles they've put on their Konigs but ymmv fwiw.

MSW makes some decent wheels, but not a top shelf brand. They've been around for awhile though so they weren't born of the eBay knock-off generation of XXR, Sport MAxx etc.

No bad. Just like Sparco wheels , MSW wheels are under OZ and made in China.

 

[shook sez]

my son runs MSWs with General Altimax Arctics on his FRS in the winter.. they look good and hold air, which is all you really need

 

[airjor13]

All OZ / Sparco / MSW wheels are TUV certified = good shit
