MB Competitions

17x8 on 215/45 +20
17x9 on 245/45 +27

All on Intrax springs,

Tokickko(sp?) Illuminas on the front and KYB AGX on the rear.




Replica's are meh, but I got them on the cheap, and my tires were dying.

I want coilovers now =[, theres still too much gap for me.


















Anyways, I get scraping sound under hard cornering...I don't think its the fenders on the wheel, anyone have an idea on whats scraping and how to fix it?

 

looks awesome, love the wheels. how much did they cost you?

 

When I had scraping noise, it was because when I put my wheels on, I bent the brake cover guard thing, its the metal plate behind the brake rotors, those rims are pretty clean!!

 

the mb wheels are not replicas if i recall.. its like an original design.. but its a great inexpensive wheel imo, so you dont get the neg comments with rota/sportmaxx lol

 

That looks good man

 

did you remove that plate or just bend it back? Any downside to removing it?

 

$450 for wheels and tires. used. I love em too haha.

I don't think this is it because I only scrape under hard cornering, unless that was your case. But I would imagine I'd hear the scrape every time the wheel rolls.

Oh, I thought they were replicas because they're not too well known and they resembled gram lights so much. Either way down the road I'm gonna upgrade to Gram Lights. Waaay down the road.


Thats the dust cover btw. Id imagine the downside is your brake rotor gets dusty?

 

Looks really good. I like the fitment.

 

Clean and safe...not bad.

 

Champ, where did you get those, if I may ask? That's exactly what I want for my tII. Awesome.

 

The scraping is probably the wheel rubbing on your springs. Take off the wheels and have a look at them.

 

Oops, the offset of the front is actually +22. Not that it makes that much of a difference...


Thanks, when I bought them, I didn't think they would fit that flush. I'm pretty happy.

I got these from a guy in LA, theyre called MB Competitions. Pretty cheap brand new, they're not performance orientated though, theres no lightweight gains. Its actually heavier than stock, but that's because there's just more wheel and tire.

That doesn't sound good. Anyway to fix that? I'll check when I have the time.

If thats the case, how are other people running 17x8s on the fronts without scraping?

 

looking nice, good fitment.

 

pretty nicee

 

Spacers

17x8 is a very popular size, but the real key is the offset.

You're running a +20 which makes me think you're rubbing on the fenders, check the fender again and fend the fender lining too.

 

Nice fit, how much do they weight?

 

looks good, what suspension u running?

 

Uh, 42 lbs for the front? 45 for the back? Heavy =/ but it helps with ride comfort.

Tokico Illuminas in the Front, KYB AGX in the rear.

Intrax springs on all 4.

 

With tires then it is quite ok. If not, they are heavy as hell

 

With tires. Theyre supposed to be ~28 without tires for both front and rear.

 

Flik is the knock off I believe that makes wheels that looks just like these.

 

These wheels are actually A-tech wheels, renamed and sold in the USA by MB wheels. A-tech is a wheel manufacturer from japan

 

looks good i like that car color

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

Oooh. Interesting, never heard of them.

Learn something new everyday haha. Thanks.

Anyways I found out it is the fender, on both sides that rub under hard cornering. The underfenders pretty fcked up now.

Anything I can do besides rolling the fender?

I was never really a fan of rolled fenders. =/

 

Nice fit.
