SuperAkuma Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I am looking to replace my stock hubcaps rims. I don't want to spend a lot of money because it will be used all season I know Rota and Drag are popular cheap options but I really like the design on of the MB wheel "Weapon". http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/mbmwea.gm.xl.jpg Anyone have them or heard anything from them? It will be going on my 2011 Legacy and will do some off-road and snow. Nothing real extreme like rock climbing but I don't want it to crack when I hit a rock when I take if off road.

Drift Motion Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 MB are decent wheels yes they are knock offs (I think Mugen GP), but IMO better quality than Rota and especially Drag cheaper price tag too, I can't believe people are paying close 1k for rotas Personally my favorite MB wheels are the MB Battles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochNY91TSI Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I have them on my wife's car for winter tires. They're decent, pretty well made rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAkuma Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks for assuring it. I guess I'll go with them since I can get them tax free, free shipping and there is a $50 instant rebate on them now. A set of 17s will go for about $460 shipped. How about the weight of these wheels? Are they generally heavier then others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too laff79 Posted June 7, 2011 I Donated Too Share Posted June 7, 2011 17" weapons are only like 18lbs. I like them and have seen them other cars. Nice wheel for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajamils Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I used them on my previous car (2004 Accord Coupe) and really liked them. I might go the same route for my LGT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 My first wheels were gunmetal 18x8 +48 MB Weapons (20lbs roughly) http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/marky339/_MG_2638.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/marky339/62409496.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tito_b0y Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I really like those weapons. Too bad they don't come in silver. Personally, I'm not a big fan of dark wheels on dark cars. 2006 SWP 3.0R 5EAT VDC BBQ 2008 OBP 2.5i 4EAT BBQ [RIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoupe Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The Seven X look similiar to the weapons and that comes in silver. I am currently torn between the MB Seven X (silver) and the Drag DR31 (Bronze) the Legacy will be satin pearl white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnofx Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I bought the MB Gears few years ago from Discounttiredirect. They're 17x8 but now discontinued and weigh around 19lbs. Can't go wrong with these wheels. Great pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
