man i hate this crap.......this forum is full of B i t c h z' that dont know the first thing about a wheel other than a brand name........
everyone on here for some unknown reason believes that you have to spend 4k to get a good built wheel.......dumb azz'es...
I track the hell out of my car.....drift/autoX/ etc........beat the crap outta wheels, not just on the track but with multiple tire changes, loading and unloading on trailers, etc.......
I DARE one of you 4k idiots to let me use your wheels at my next drift event! see if they hold up.........
for example....tons of people by MB Weapon wheels for track use.....what are those....like 140 a wheel....that is one great built wheel, light weight (18ish lbs) and would choose that any day over spending 4K on volks........

I will shed some light for you, you see this small A-TECH logo on those wheels? ATECH is a japanese company producing really good wheels http://www.marukanet.co.jp/a-tech/index.html . Since they are not present on US market, MB has probably set up a deal with them to sell them under different brand in the US (similar deal was set up by Axis with Rays). So why they cost 140 a wheel? Because MB is selling them with really small profit marging, they want sell huge rather than get huge profit margin. Oh and ATECH wheels are not gravity casted like you normal low end rims, they are low pressure casted (far superior technology). Do not compare those wheels to other cheap brand like Rotas, as they pricing is not an effect of cutting down on costs and stealing designs like Rota does but company's strategy
BTW, if you don't believe compare ATECH's lineup with MB's one, you will see the same wheel models there. MB are exactly the same thing as your tight JDM stuff.

FYI - Z/G fitments will be released within the next 4-6 weeks. I have received a lot of inquiries about this wheel so those of you that are ready to go, we can take pre-orders for now.
