MB Wheels Competition 17x9

Anyone know if these are any good? How bout a weight?

They're 17x9 5x114 +27

I was originally planning on FN01R-C 17x9 HyperBlack but they're out of stock everywhere.

Do you think the 17x9 +27 will fit without an issue?

I'm gonna be lowering soon as well via coilovers.

If they're 18lbs that's not that heavy...

I ran that exact setup on my 350Z (17x9, 27 offset) for track events. For the money they weren't too heavy (21 lbs.) and held up well under severe abuse. Man I wish I never sold them!

Can anyone else confirm these should fit?

I may just get them and if I have issues with the Brembo's, I'll pick up some spacers. What do you think, 5mm? 8mm? Do eBay spacers suck?

I'm running 17x9 +30 or +35 FN01R-C's...can't remember.

If anything, you'll have issues with fender rubbing when lowered, but no issues with the Brembos with the +27 offset.

These wheels cleared my 350Z Brembo's no problem. I can't forsee any clearance issues with the Evo brakes but who knows.

I just bought these from discounttiredirect.com:

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=9&bp=5-114.3

18x9 with +35mm offset, for only $100 a wheel! Hopefully they don't weigh a ton, but I needed a cheap track setup for this season. MB seems like a decent enough brand...I hope
