It says MVR on one of the spokes.. Your better off just buying a set of MVR's, they aren't that expensive anyways...

[VooDoo]

i know but where can i find them?and how much would you say they run?

[Roy]

Most anywhere.. They run a few hundred dollars a wheel...
If you can't afford at least 250 per wheel, then please, don't put wheels on your car. Wait till you get the money for decent wheels AND tires..

if they end up being out of you're budget just get the knock-offs, to me its the look that counts (maybe weight too), not the brand. Personally i'd rather have some badass looking rims on my car that say barbie in the centercap then have like ugly ass HRE's (even though there's no such thing, but hypathetically speaking).

[VooDoo]

yeah i can afford them but they stopped making the MVR;s didnt they?

[TheDarkSide]

Replicas!? I have no idea what the originals are and doubt the average person will either. Get the cheap ones :thumbu:

[kelso]

didnt know about the labeled spoke... i guess you can tell! i still dont care though, ive never actually heard of that brand so knockoffs would be seriously considered.

[TheDarkSide]

Exactly :plus1:

[catchuk]

i agree:ditto:

[LDadrenaline]

I'd say dont cheap out on wheels. You want a good light, but solid, wheel. If it breaks or cracks because it's cheap thats gonna suck

[TheDarkSide]

Ok, realistically though....it is a what? 325 or 328 sedan? He is not going to necessarily autocross it or shatter the wheels from the torque. Save the money for other mods and get the reps.

[VooDoo]

good call dave
:thumbu: there 899.99 shipped. YAY

[TheDarkSide]

For 17's!? WTF?
