MMD Kage Wheels. Feedback wanted...

[Grimlock]

I've been on the search for a set of wheels to go on my 08. I've found these in a staggered 19 - 8.5/10 setup.

Why do I like them?

1. I really like polished wheels for several reasons. (and they aren't chrome)

2. After staring at tons of pictures, I almost feel as if 20's are too big on the front of the car and 18's are too small on the back. I think the 19s can be an acceptable compromise between wheel size and sidewall height. (Buying tires is gonna suuuuuck)

3. According to AMAlexLazarus, they weigh in at 26.8 and 28.3 lbs front/back. I'd be satisfied with these because my budget is forcing me to pick either lightweight wheels or wheels that look good. Not both.

The one concern I have is the the +45 offset. From what I've read online, 40 is the way to go on a 10" wheel in order to be flush with the fender. Would the +45 be too tucked in? I'd imagine I'll be running either a 285/35 or a 295/35 in the back?

Thanks man. I believe you responded (and I just replied to you) in a thread I created at the start of my wheel search on another forum.

Not really sure where my post went???

This thread is weird

I'm thinking approval is needed by a mod.

 

[Grimlock]

That's probably it. It was visible but vanished after I made an edit.

Similar look as the Weld RT-S, which come in black or polished spokes. It's a popular look for the Mustang as it retains the classic 5 spoke look without looking like an import wheel.

Nope, do not like at all. Just like the Godspeed Omega wheels .... PASS

 

[Gabe]

I like them a lot, I think they'll look great on your ride ...

 

[Grimlock]

Thanks for the feedback so far. Apologies to the mods for making such a trouble free first post.

I'm certainly not married to the these wheels. If you know of anything that just screams "these belong on that dude that can't post's car", let me know. I'm open to ideas.

 

[stkjock]

Just goofing on ya Grim. All good dude.

Have you looked at the Welds or the Mickey Thompson Street Comp wheels?

 

[NickD87]

I really liked these when they came out, I like the polished a lot better then the black.
After seeing them in the videos on the site I began to be unsure, I think it will be a either you will love them or hate them look with the super deep dish

Get the 20's. I love my 20x9 & 20x10 staggered setup. As for the wheels, I dig it. I like the profile and the lip. Should look aggressive as fuck on some springs.


20 are the perfect size for our cars.

So if you like them, get them on the car and if you find they tuck in a bit too much, get some thin hubcentric wheel spacers ...

I like the look of these wheels too, just a nice basic solid 5-spoke. Too bad that they don't clear Brembos.


cheers

Man when I first started looking for wheels in 2010 for my Bullitt... I have to admit I thought those things were tits.

lol
