I got the MB Comps on my car, they only come in 17x8 +22 and 17x9 +17, +27mm. they will fit though. I have the 17x9 +27mm ones.
the rear fender lips are rolled flush, and bubbled out just a little bit, the fronts are only done a little. camber is -2.0 F, -2.5 R

yeah, i'm sure thats what the weapons are a knock off of. I got the MB comp's for $604.80 out the door locally. I think the weapons are cheaper, probobly closer to $500. The weapons and comps come in different sizes and offsets though.

I bought a set of MB Boosts last Fall from DT - since they were only ~ $300, I figured they were too cheap to pass up. Not much weight savings, if any, but I was also buying snow tires and I wanted two sets of rims to avoid swapping tires twice a year. Plus my OEMs were getting a little ratty looking, and I wanted a darker colour rim.

Today I was bitten by the Spring bug and went out and bought my first set of "plus" size tires - 225/50/16 Yoko s.drives. I know, still 16", I bought the rims with the intention of re-using my almost new stock size Michelin A/S. Plus I have a base, so I didn't want to increase my wheel weight. And, 16s were cheaper.

Now I'm wondering how much handling will improve by increasing the width of the tire only, and keeping the same tread height. :dontknow:

Of course, the s.drives also have a stickier rubber compound than the all-seasons.

I have my MBs off (damn Michigan Spring snow!) and as I was washing them I noticed three references on the backside of the wheel, each corresponding to different bolt patterns (even though there is - obviously - only one wheel pattern on each wheel) including the letters "KG".

I can't think of anything that KG might stand for other than kilogram. But, for my bolt pattern, KG = 690. If that were kilograms, each wheel would weigh almot 1400 pounds!

Any idea what that KG stands for?

MB is the new Rota!
and the Weapons look the Wedsport SA-90 in with a flat face. I don't know, I've seen them, but don't like them.
