Motegi MR7s

Hey just got my wheels in today, they are only 15x6.5 because the 16x7s were too high of an offset. Specs 15x6.5 +35 4 7/8 4x100 & 4x4.5 16.5 lbs.

Hate to see someone waste money on wheels, but if they didn't offer the right offset in the size you wanted, you should have found a different wheel. It doesnt make sense to go with a smaller & skinnier version of a wheel no matter how much you like the style of it. There are so many wheels out there these days I'm sure you could have found another company making a similar style wheel in the 16x7 or larger with the right offsets. I reccomend selling them/returning them before you install them and shop around for some different wheels with better sizes

They are 7 inch wide btw? Website said 6.5 but I measured it with a tool when I was balancing them and it said 7 inches.

They were around 70 a piece. Here they are mounted, the damn front center caps dont fit over that bearing seal.
Sorry for shakiness of pictures, I can never take a good still picture -_-

Well for 70 bucks they're not that bad, lol. They look fine, nothing special, but they're not ugly on the car. As long as you're happy with them for now that's all that matters really

lowering the car isnt going to help the fender spacing much with a 15x7 wheel.
