If you want to give me $700 because that is nothing to you then go ahead, Rockefeller. If we're talking about $2k wheels here - and that's not a cheap set of wheels - that's a 35% tax.

I have an s14 and multiple sets of 2k+ wheels.

I've also had my most recent chassis for over 10 years. Buy, sell, upgrade. That's the name of the game.

Based on some of the budgets you all have, buying an R/C car is a better option for you. Crying about prices when they are already cheap.

Too many people want instant gratification when it comes to car mods.

This is why Instagram created reels, and Facebook has shorts. For ya'll ADD car modders.

Thats a bit of a stretch but, I understand where you're coming from.

i dont care wth hotboi means o_O
but Im still in love with enkei rpf1 and nt03's and they're pretty affordable. Had rpf1's on my old s14 and will probably do the same on my current project 13, the poor man race wheel

also, on my last mr2 I had a set of sparco terra's that I felt really fitted the car, and at 160 a piece, you cant go wrong

Those look great on that car with that ride height. Old School Group B Rally car material.

I?m not sure if most people were aware but the Mb Battle is being remanufactured by Motegi wheels under the MR 154 product name. These can be had for about $1k for the set in desirable specs. I?m still seeing MB Battles with asking prices in the 1000-1500 range on the used market and I have to assume most people are simply unaware that these are available new again.

The question is are the wheels any good?

Why not spend the extra $400 for Rays 57DRs?

What made MB Battles so hot was you had a great wheel for $154/each from your local Discount Tire.

Koning Tandems are $185/ea, flow forged and likely a lighter stronger wheel.

Oh I 100% agree. I was more questioning the quality of those wheels in general.

In my world, wheels are the absolutely last thing I would buy. Once I do though it will be either something by Rays or Works.

For my S14 I have it roughly
powertrain
redo suspension
interior
paint
wheels

collegekid · 04-29-2022, 08:41 AM

MMMM those konigs are tempting, unfortunate that they dont have 18 x 9.5 + 15, just 17s.

I appreciate you posting that. May keep me from being stupid and hittin the track in my more expensive shit

truckmtrS13 · 06-25-2022, 09:43 AM

Got a deal on Work Zr10?s last year. 17x9 +17

mav1178 · 06-25-2022, 11:55 AM

for the record, the best quality 5 lug front hubs on the market for S13 is still avaialble.

http://www.ksp-eng.co.jp/ATTAIN/special/03/377.html

People can get it under $600 shipped to them. These use OE NTN front bearings (even Nissan NTN S13 bearings are still available new) and their own machined hub.

Rear OEM hub/bearings are still available as well.

This is the best route for 5 lug, in case people forgot.

I still have the set of Attain hubs on my car that I bought in February of 2008 from RHD Japan. Paid $258.88 shipped.

Many track miles on them. They're going to carry over into the car's next life.

SupaDoopa · 06-27-2022, 12:09 PM

GramLights, Emotions, etc.

If you're sad that three-piece wheels (which is what I'm assuming this post is about) are more expensive than $2,000 then you don't belong on sweet chrome slippers like the rest of us cloud-walking Gods.

inferno s14 · 06-28-2022, 09:52 AM

raw material shortage > slows production > Less wheels> Higher demand> increase price.
At the rate we are heading now, if you see your dream set of wheels and you have the funds bite the bullet because chances are tomorrow you wont afford to bite shit.

If you're looking for discontinued wheels AKA 17/18" Blitz, Work, SSR you're going to pay through the nose for any quality wheels that pop up in Japan or in the US.

The prices going up are because of shipping from Japan being through the roof more than anything.

I just got a pair of new SSR wheels in less than 3 months through Jesse Streeter.
