Default MR7

I am looking to buy some 16" Motegi MR7's, the best prices i found were $830 for chrome w/rubber, or $600 for silver w/rubber. plus about $120 shipping for each. Does anybody know of any other styles that are similar in style for a smaller price, i was planning on spending around 1k for new rims but that plan went out the window when i had to spend $375 on a new exhaust system.

Just my two cents, but those in chrome are pretty rice. I've got the silver ones in 15, and I really am not a huge fan of them.

yea i def like the chrome better and it wouldnt even have been an issue if it wasnt for my exhaust. Ill probly just wait another week or 2 before getting them unless i can find another set for cheaper or another similar style.

Honestly you can find much beter wheels for a better price, seriously, plus everyone seems to have MR7's and IMO they look like ***... and not the good *** that you would see on a ver hot woman. i mean the ugly nasty ***.

You can get Konig, Helium, Feather's, Hurry's for a decent price and they look pretty good, and i know i am gonna sound like a broken record but Rota's are good quality for a good price too. they are light and look good as well.

+1 with all of rota's options nowadays I can honestly not see why you would go any other path...cheap, quality, and lighter than the originals in most cases. Unless you are a fanboy of that brand, I just can't see the point.

Go on jdm forums and EVERYONE has the exact same rotas. I think they look great, but come on...

seems a little pricey to me. i have a set in gunmetal & paid a lot less than that. they are also an older wheel. i've had mine for over 3 years. it took 3 sets of wheels before i could 4 wheels that would balance out right. plus the coating started flaking off within the 1st year. i agree with some of the other posts...look for something else.

I got my 16" gunmetal MR7's used from a guy off of Craigslist for $380 with nice tires. I'm very glad I found 'em!
