Quality of Motegi?
Hi,
Im looking at getting a set of Motegi MR-8's and I am just wondering if anyone knows if Motegi is a good brand. I've just started looking at wheels and I haven't heard much about Motegi. Any help is appreciated. |

Welcome to HS.
They are good wheels for the money. Accord Man can tell you more about them... I think that's what he is running.

YUP..
They are exactley the same quality as Konig.. And they both use Identical procedures with the same quality controle.. Plus I think Motegi is a subsidary of Konig.... But I'm not sure about that though.. Its good stuff..

That's good to hear. I was looking into getting the MR-7's myself. Probably in gun metal...

Ive got Motegi MR7 GunnMetals... very nice rims- very strong and good-looking... I would definately suggest getting your calipers painted some color if you get MR7s tho... they leave a lot of space between the rotor and wheel which, if unpainted, allows people to see nasty rusted calipers and rotors... just a thought... I love my MR7s... great- whole set cost me about 500bucks plus mount and balance tires... keep us posted

Just to let you all know (and I know none of you will want to hear this), Motegi is a division of American Racing ![]() Just though I'd let you all know. BTW, I still ordered the MR-7's anyhow ![]()

Wow Civic_Addict, I had no clue they were part of AR. That's ok though, they look much better than the AR wheels.

ok, I more info..
All 2002 Motegis wheels are built in Korea. American Racing, is now the official American distributor for Motegis.. AR also distrubutes another brand.. I think it was Elorion or something like that.. Once again, Motegi quality is identical to Konigs..

Cool. Where'd you dig that up at? Just curious. I actually feel relieved that AR doesn't make them. Nothing personal against AR, but they seem to lack quality.
