the sears near me is having a sale on motegi wheels and this is the run-down:

MR7's 15x6.5 (4x100, 4.25 anthracite, 35mm offset, 16.5lbs, backside spacing: 4.875in/124mm)

MR12's 15x7 (4x100, 4.5 anthracite, 40mm offset, 17.5lbs, backside spacing: 5.5in/140mm)

either wheels for $299.00 a set

is this a good deal, and are these wheels any good? which ones should i go with? i have a stock 89 crx dx.

E_SolSi · 10-01-2002, 01:28 AM

the price is pretty good .. the rims are a little on the heavy side and they're cast so theyre not gunna be as strong as a forged wheel would be ... but hey if thats no big deal to you and you like the look go for it ... i know a few people that have them and they dont have any complaints

**sportlinecrx** · 10-01-2002, 01:37 AM

thanks man. The weight was actually one of the big questions I had.

Anyone know what the weight of stock 13" steel wheels are?? (i know, they are ghey, but i still have em) i'd like to know how if the motegis will be lighter.

FYI, i already checked the wheelweight section here, and the weight for 13" steel isnt there.

pissedoffsol · 10-01-2002, 02:39 AM

join the rota grouip buy man.. just a little more, better style, and much lighter.

**sportlinecrx** · 10-01-2002, 03:27 AM

thanks Brian, but actually i was just thinkin i'd jump on the motegis if they were a really good deal. otherwise, im gonna put the wheels purchase off for now. i agree rotas are sweet, and light as hell, and a good deal at alljdm, but to be honest, i hate waiting for stuff in the mail and would rather pay a little more to have them on my car the same day..sorry if i dissapoint. plus there are tons of places to buy wheels out here, so i can probly find something comparable maybe.

BTW, i came across that sale cuase i had to buy a new garage door opener and it just caught my eye.

pissedoffsol · 10-01-2002, 03:37 AM

yea, i know. sears sucks, but i figured motegi was a decent brand. wasn't gonna buy the tires from there. was gonna take the wheels over to costco and get tires from there.

BlackJDMdeath · 10-01-2002, 04:53 AM

sorry but in my opinion i give it a thumbs down, every single person on earth that rolls up next to me with a riced out import has the motegi's... played out to the maxxx

**sportlinecrx** · 10-01-2002, 06:42 AM

yea, im gonna forget about the sale. gonna save for some better wheels. gonna go for something light like the rotas.

pissedoffsol · 10-01-2002, 06:44 AM

2weeks left for the rota GB

I run Kosei 16" on my crx. They're light and can take the Pa. pot holes. On problems I've been running them for about a year.

well i m not so sure about that.... there is a sear auto dealer ship here in mn but they sell benz's and shit.

i think its not the same thing but who knows

**sportlinecrx** · 10-01-2002, 02:41 PM

a sears dealership? thats whacked

i think brian meant "you dont buy car stuff there" lol

"hey, nice car!"
"thanks. i got a great deal on it at sears."
"you got what?!"

Prowler · 10-01-2002, 08:22 PM

Well, I got my rims there. Not that bad for $350. I only saw two other cars with my rims, and one had the gunmetal 17"s. His camber wasn't adjusted at all. You could see a tilt on the wheels just like this: /-\
No kidding, it was hilarious. It wasn't even dropped that much.

They're holding up really good. It just sucks about the weight. These are 20lbs each.

B16 · 10-01-2002, 08:32 PM

those almost look like my rims

mine are rays tho

paragus · 10-01-2002, 10:46 PM

pissedoffsol · 10-02-2002, 06:30 AM

yeah man- my car has a shit load of dents.. people don't know how to ficking exit their cars correctly anymore in this fucking state. *shrug* oh well- its a race car, not a show car... and fuckign acorns... don't even get me started on my hood

knowledge · 10-02-2002, 06:34 AM

Its every state B! My cars like that too! And my hood... dont get me started about my hood! I HATE TREE SAP!

chet · 10-02-2002, 07:15 AM

either get hx wheels, vx wheels or rota's.

if you can afford something more than rota's, go with regamasters, volk or select racing hart wheels. its all about the design and weight of the wheel.

brian, we need to post a sticky in one of the forums linking the article i wrote on rotational mass and how it affects handling and acceleration. too many people aren't aware of the consequences when buying "motegi" or other cheap pep boys wheels.

interesting sidenote...enkei makes honda's wheels...so despite the fact that rs5's and other enkei wheels are so damn heavy, they are capable of making a light, well designed rim.
