Hey guys,

Had a NSX client actually forward this link to me for his car and then realized OMG these are damn cheap. they are probably not lightweight but they are cheap.

Check it out.

At $165.00 that's crazy. And that's retail. If I order a good qty i can probably get these at a better price. But whatevers, doesn't matter to me. Just thought i'd post specs on these wheels. not too bad looking either and should clear some decent sized brakes.



Peace, Rishie

 

Rishie, maybe you should order a set to check on the quality and weight, hehe.

 

From the link:

"Available to fit a wide array of trucks and SUVs."

"Car/Minivan"

Absolutely no info on the Liquid Metal website other than pics.

Dollars to doughnuts says they are plain steel.

 

Hi highly doubt they are steel. These are made for light trucks. I'm sure it's an alloy but am waiting to get a call back from them.

 

"alloy" does not mean "aluminum"

 

I don't think i said aluminum anywhere? I'm confused Damon but I totally agree with you. lol. Are there really that many pure aluminum wheels out there?

Alloy does not mean plain steel either right?

 

Those are really cheap. For the money and good design, it can't be beat. Wow!

 

Unless they weight 40lbs each.

 

Man those suckers never called me back. I'll try again tomorrow.

No way 40lbs, but even 25lbs would be sketchy. However I do believe these will be mid 20lbs range.

Thanks, Rishie

 

I thought you were inferring it. You said:

You doubt they're steel, but are sure it's an alloy. There are hundreds of steel alloys Just because it's an alloy doesn't mean it's not steel.

 

Ya totally, but pure steel wouldn't be called an alloy right. It would be called a steel wheel. Alloy would be a mixture of metals. hehe.

We all mean the same thing, it's just semantics. I hate semantics.

ive never seen fordged or cast steel alloy wheels

 

how about these cheap wheels...18x10s one all 4 corners for $600?

thoughts?

 

 

Some of these wheels look mighty heavy. Lets see if this works:
Cheap, light, right size(18x10)........Pick any 2.

 

Don't forget the MB Weapon in 18x9 +45.

 

Good find, I've been planning on putting something very similar from MB Motoring on my FD this spring. They are right around the same cost per wheel.
