That is true, everyone does have them, I do. The question is,how often do you see the other people that have them? I have only seen one other car that had Evo's on it in my area.

This again is true, but aren't they discontinuing the rim? I would hope not.

Also I hear that some pontiacs are coming out w/ them on their vehicles from the factory.

Quality wise...pretty much the same.

I haven't seen the MR7 or GT5 in real life. Tenzo Shu 4 looks small in 18s. Everyone has the EVO 5.

It's a toss up between the MR7 and GT5.

The MR7 have a nice finish on the rim, ans they look really good. They are built well and are relatively inexpensive.

If you are getting 17"s wait until sears puts Motegi racing rims on sale...299 for 15"s, 319-329 for 16"s, and 359-399 fo r17"s. That is for the set of 4, by the way.

I know of a Sears that MAY honor the sale price any time (they did for me), but you would have to call. We got 15" MR7s in gunmetal for my wife's car for $270.

I've seen an Excel H50 on the car, but a different maker (On Benblanco's car (very similar) )Nice rim..

You're entitled to your opinion bud

Who else?

Arlan,

Speaking from experience, the MR7 that I had were nice but I got them as 15 daily drivers and did not keep them long...one thing is the need for tuner lugs and the increased need for close attention to the torque applied on the wheel studs.

the finish on them was pretty resistant to stains (gunmetal) and cleaned up really nice and easy...(all the way to the inside lip)

hope it helped...

photoshop attempt

Here's my attempt at the GT5's. It came out to be more like 19"s than 18"s. IT looks like it needs some major camber adjustment- but i was in a hurry. Sorry about the motegis, u know what my choice would be

anything but mm evos. I like the racing hart and everyone on this board either already has the evos or think that was the greatest rim every made in history for the maxima.

I am still personally leaning towards the #2 pic, but those MR7's do look nice


All Choices are in gun metal by the way.
