Hi,

pick request of MB weapon wheels. bronze or charcoal.

it would be awesome to see them on a PPW Z. but any color Z will at least help me get an idea....

ive only found one thread searching with pics.....

these were bronze until I got them powdercoated silver. Was supposed to be a nice shiny silver, but two coats of clear made them look gray, so I started stripping them. Should have sold them off they way they were as track wheels. But anyway, they are light and strong for the price

really needed 10/15 spacers at a minimum.

 

Keep in mind that they weight 28lbs each, at least in 18x9.5

 

my 18x8+30 were closer to 22lbs if not a shade under

What offset did you have front and back on these???

+30, I cant remember what was available at the time, i got one of the first sets DTD offered, and the only other option was 18x9 +38, so i went with +30 and used my OEM tires. HUGE difference in weight between these and my OEM G35 18s, car felt much more nimble.

 

Mine are 18x9 +38 with 10mm and 20mm spacers . For some odd reason they weight in at only 22 pounds!!!! I can post pics when i get home or look at www.350zen.org under my screen name.

 

My brother's car (BloMyS14)







17x9 +27 255/40 V710's

 

just drive to a discount tire and ask them to throw one on your car.. they should have one as a display there

 

Yeah, dont think I ever saw them in 1895 for our fitments. I guess if you used a 5 lbs block of govt cheese for wheel weights, you'd be at 28 lbs.

 

You can get +15 now in 18x9 and it would be great for front and back. I also have a matching set of 17x9's for track use.

 

what size and type of tire do you run on your 17x9 for track use???

the MB Weapon's im buying are 17x9 +17 offset.

I was talking outta my a$$ then, so I take the weight comment back.
I got that info over the phone from DTD. I couldn't find the weight online so I called them.

That's one of the main reasons I went with 5zigen FNO1R-C's. Oh well the FN's are a great wheel and they had just the size/offset I wanted.

 

i don't believe a word that DTD ever says... you know how many answers you would get from them from five phone calls to them? yup.. 5

 

Now that I think about it, The weight they gave me was for MB battle, not weapon. Weapons don't come in 18x9.5 20-25 offset, while battles do. Still, battles might not weigh that much.

 

18*9.5 Drifters for me

 

Whats the going price for powder coating a set of wheels?

im not sure if im gonna love the bronze, but maybe someday down the road ill powder coat them..

- J

 

$200 ish. The existing coating is an e-coat and can be coated over without stripping. In my case tho, the guy did a really crappy job, runs and way too much clear. They've been sitting in boxes for the last year and a half

 

I run 255/40 front with +27 and 275/40 rear +17 , next set of tires will be 275/40 all around.

 

Hey, thanks! I think im going to run that set up for a set of autoX wheels and tires.
