MR copy cat WHEELS!!!

Not quite exactly like the BBS wheels but pretty damn close. I'm not even sure if they are even available in a offset/size for the Evo. I haven't been able to find that info.

KMC SR7


MR wheels for comparison



They look even better in 18" w/polished lip.

That does look somewhat like the MR wheels. Should have gotten that for my winter wheels.

Are you kidding me? Like I said, they don't look EXACTLY like them but they share a close resemblance. More than any other wheel out there. Similar thin split 7 spokes and deep recessed lug area. The pic with them in 18 with polished lip is a little different in design then the first pic as the spokes come inward to allow for the flat lip.

And to the average joe who doesn't know or give a shiat about stuff like that wouldn't even know the difference.

Wow, you guys have such attention to detail, we should worship you! He didn't say they were identical. The only real differences are that the spokes are curved instead of straight, with a little less taper. Whoop-dee.

I like these more than the mr wheels for the fact that they curve in so that you can have a polished lip....And some people are pretty ****....

I also like these better than the MR, especially with the polished lip. Any weights on these wheels?
