Question MRR Wheels need feedbacks

Hey Guys
I am thinking of getting a set of MRR GT-1 Black wheels, I am not very familiar with MRR I am just wondering if anyone out there know more about these wheels or the company perhaps and give me some constructive feedback. And should I go for 19 or 20s? Thanks advance for the reply....

KY

if you want my non-sugar coated personal opinion, you can do better especially for a 3GS, to me most of the MMR line looks cheap, many Lexus owners like Zone wheels, they're definitely hot, as well as most of the JDM wheel brand products.

for Zone, I think you can contact d2autosport or socalsc4(bob)

MRR wheels are popular with lexus owners as well. I am done with fancy 3pc wheels. The Asantis I had were a freakn nightmare. I spend 5k with the tires and all you get is vibration. I sent them back to have them rebuilt and they came back better, but still vibrating. 3pc wheels are also prone to having seals go bad on the wheels, and they cost double the price of a cast wheel. Cast wheels are working great for me. This current set is my fourth set of cast wheels

I like MRR wheels, not a bad choice.

I am anti-3pc forged. wheels unless it's a track rat personally.

Nice. Personally, I like the styling of the HR4.

So kyang91, you are going for the black on black look? Wasn't sure if your gs is black or what. Very interested in those pics when you do it, I like both chrome on black and black on black. The GT1 is a nice looking wheel. I agree with the rest - avoid the 3pc and stick with cast . Had a nightmare with my BMW5 as well.

kyang91, actually I do. From what I hear on the MRR it is a nice set. From the looks I like the wheel and the idea of it on your car. It will be unique in a very good way I believe.
The wealth of experience from these CL folks is tremendous - I haven't had the GS long but I have had a lot of cars and many different wheels. For the $ and positive comments I think it is a great look.

I have sold a couple sets of MMR wheels and also have a set on my accord. I had HR1's on at first and sold them and now have the HR4's on there. both are staggered 20's. They ride perfect with no vibration at all. I dont have pics of the hr4's.

i had a set... i like them... busted two of them up on a speed ball, hence why i am in another set of wheels now... but no negatives about them. I got lots of compliments on the look, and have a twin running around here with a set.

I'm REALLY considering getting these in black on my matador red. I think it would be hot. And if Nazty was rolling on them already down here in Houston, they must be hot!
