Default Anyone have MB wheels/FinalSpeed wheels?

Does anyone here have MB Motorsports wheels [available only from discount tire direct]? They are relabeled FinalSpeed/Schneider wheels from A-Tech Corporation in Japan. The MB wheels come with the A-Tech stamp on them.

The MB Weapon is the same as the FinalSpeed Eraser. Which is a copy of the Mugen wheels on the current Mugen Civic Si.

What do you think of the wheel company? I know they aren't forged Volk's. Anyone have pictures of them on their car?

Just know that the MB version is cast and heavy, whereas the FinalSpeed wheels are forged. They're good wheels, as many people (including myself) have used them for AutoX/Track wheels. Strong, but not very light. 20-21lbs. for a 17x9 wheel.

Please. A-Tech makes quality JDM wheels. Just because someone from Colorado hasn't heard of them, doesn't mean shit. As for the style, their Eraser model looks very similar to the the Wedsport SA-90 and Work XD9 which many people love.

That said, the MB version sucks for a daily wheel, but it's a great low-cost option for a set of track wheels. Plenty of people have been running them for autox and track duty, with great results.

Bad might not be the right word, but it's just not the right look imo. It's a track-style wheel, and not what I like for the street.
