question about mb battle wheels... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-09-2009, 12:47 AM

are the mb battles in 18x9.5 +12 still in existance???!!! i cant find em anywhere (and im not looking for the kazama/CTS wheels either)...huntin all over zilvia and google...couldnt find skwat!!!

Pank · 01-09-2009, 12:51 AM

last i heard, everyone was reporting they were on "backorder". Then they were "discontinued". Then "backordered" again.

the 17"s are still around, i think

***dorkidori_s13*** · 01-09-2009, 01:17 AM

im a 18" wheel hoor now lol...after running my current JIC Jforce 5s on my s13 in 18x9.5...i never wanna touch 17s again

only reason i ask is cause i need a set of track wheels (until i can finally order my front 2 SSR MS1s to match the back pair i have...then the JICs turn into my track hoors)

Z33dori · 01-09-2009, 02:30 AM

work cr kai 18x9.5 +12

or cheap for now

rota torque 18x9.5 +12

yes rota makes 18x9.5 now.... yes

blitzkrgCT9A · 01-09-2009, 04:03 AM

If you are on the budget, get the Rota Grids 18x9.5 +15

turbo2nr · 01-09-2009, 06:21 AM

grid=battles imo.

i wouldnt mind a set of grids in gold for a spare set.. looks good..

smelly240 · 01-09-2009, 06:52 AM

I just dont like the finish on the rotas at all.

plus they're rotas.

the battles they told me are only +30 now (DTD told me)

zaquanh · 01-09-2009, 07:32 AM

there on back order , my friend juss got a set , the weapons are the ones disc.

SoSideways · 01-09-2009, 07:41 AM

Wait, what?

I just checked their site.

Weapons are still sold in 18x9 +15 on the site.

Battles don't even have 18x9.5 in any offset listed anymore on the site.

People better stop teasing me.

Battles in 18x9.5 +12 are SRS BZNS

The Chad · 01-09-2009, 08:01 AM

yea i would much prefer the battle vs my weapons...i've really never been overly happy with them other than that price for a massive wheel

TheRonTom31 · 01-09-2009, 08:09 AM

I think the weapons are just plain ugly.

bejota180sx · 01-09-2009, 08:11 AM

ive tried getting the battles in 18x9.5 +15 but they are always in backorder with no date of when they will get back... im about to order some 17s even if i wanted 18s... already tried a bunch of places to see if they had any lying around... the only 18s around are x8 with +20 or something offset...

Yea, that size was the first to sell out iirc.

Bummer, but oh well. Good thing I run 17's.

I'm thinking about running 17s for the track now... Feddy 595s' price tag in 235/40/17 is oh so tasty.

s14unimog · 01-09-2009, 08:40 AM

so what's the deal on those Grids? Are they new or am I just out of the loop?

What's the down side on those; heavy?

215/40 17/ 235/40 17 stagger = heaven.

smelly240 · 01-09-2009, 08:54 AM

the downside = shitty rotas.

upside = cheap and decent sizes

alongside = if u have a nice car buy nice wheels - if u have a dented up beat car get cheaper still proper fitting wheels.

s14unimog · 01-09-2009, 09:41 AM

^ nicely put

blitzkrgCT9A · 01-09-2009, 12:49 PM

Rota Grid is actually the TE37 replica..

not even close.

grid = te37 knockoff
battles/cst/boyz (to a lesser extent) = Advan T7 knockoffs

If that's a 9.5", it's prob a 235/245 stagger.
