Need opinion on wheels.

All opinions welcome good or bad.

Thanks

I think they're ugly. MSR isn't a name I'd trust either, they are one piece wheels so I'm not sure I want to know what they weigh.

The price isn't bad though, so if that's what you want then yea cool. It doesn't mention the width of the wheels though... so I can't tell you about fitment. They appear to all be the same size with +40 offset. So You had better hope they are about 9" wide.

Remember, you can run staggered on the X you just need to make sure your total wheel/tire diameter is within 3% of each other. But I'm sure you know that.

Eh, it's not about what I like or what pleases me! haha

What's your budget?

If you like G37 wheels check out;

Look into companies like Axis, Motegi, Linea Corsa

Our vendors on the forum can set you up with a nice set of wheels with tires for around $2000 shipped.

Do you like mesh style wheels? (axis penta, BBS style, work VSXX, etc.)

You could easly get some take-offs for around $1K.

A month ago there was a set of M45 19's on CL for $1000 i almost picked up.


Those wheels look cheezy

Tax season is coming up. If you can wait another month or two you'll start seeing them pop up as people spend their refund on wheels and put their stockers up for sale.

Not a huge fan of those. And they're kinda pricey for what they are. That 235 doesn't look stretched at all, so it's not a very wide wheel, which means a +40 offset is really week.

Well, i meant other people with the same mentality. They go shopping, buy wheels and put their stockers up for sale. Then you buy buy buy
