MB Battle = Rep?

[WhiteStripes]

Hey wheel experts, need help. I recently saw these on an Evo and they look amazing, checked them out and they are really cheap, they a Replica of a certain wheel out there or an original design?



Edit: Here's the Evo pic.

idk but theyre sexy. i would def buy a set if they made them in 5x100

[WhiteStripes]

Yeah, I'm definitely eying these now.

there not a replica they are just rebadge under MB. They are cst hyper zero and they are about the same price in japan as they are here.

[WhiteStripes]

Sweeeet. I think these may be the wheels I want then. I've got to go budget baller, so unless something pops up on craigslist for cheap then I'm guessing these are gonna be the ones.

They are actually Motegi MR7 reps, but not many people know that, so really you are just fine getting them haha.

The spokes are a lot thinner. But I see how they could be a rep of that.

I think the ADVAN Model T7 are the original design or the cst zero but they just concave less compared to these mb's.

From this image they look very similar, just the Motegi's are less Concave. I have also heard them compared to Work XT7's and XD9's.

The Advan did come first though.

[WhiteStripes]

Ahhhh. The Advans, that's where I've seen them before. Of course. That's why I love them so much.

[mrrisk]

The CST are alot lighter than the MB I have had both and the dif is there. I would say they are a CST rep if anything.

They are alot like the Advan but when you improve on a design greatly I would no longer call it a rep.

My 2 cents

[Drama]

MB Battles are actually a rep of the CST Hyper Zero 1 wheel.

[Mattphi]

Those are dope but unless you get the 9.5, I'm guessing you don't have much concavity. And with the 9.5's, the offsets are super low.

AVS T7/F7. Not everything made by Yokohama is an Advan. I used to make that mistake a lot too though, Advan comes out easier.
