When will MB "Weapons" be available

[TroyV]

Well, The villains have a great track record, and I have never heard of a failure. The MB's have less history, but a few guys I know have run them pretty hard for a season or two, and they have not shown any evidence of flex or stress fractures. The MB is a good looking wheel if you are looking for an alternative to a standard 5 spoke wheel.

Weapons and Competitions in STOCK!

Both offsets and colors. :rockon:

 

[TroyV]

I know.. I just got a set.

 

[Chris@DTD]

Troy,

Can you post a pic of the wheels on the car?

Thanks,

Chris

The wheels just arrived two days ago. I have some Avon Tech R's getting mounted on them next week. My car is in storage. It won't be on the road again until March.

Mike Miller received and mounted his MB Comps though I'll send you a pic of that. Personally, I like the design of the Weapon wheel better, but the Comps looks great too. I can't post pics here for some reason so I'll send you an email.

Those Avons look massive on there!

 

[AutocrosserBob]

Damn that's a fine looking car!

 

[TroyV]

Hey Mike. Your sig is off.

You forgot all the MM stuff, the welding, the FR's, the cobbled exhaust etc..

 

[AutocrosserBob]

Better? :beer:

 

[TroyV]

Still not really correct. You still have a chevy truck.

 

[AutocrosserBob]

For less then 24 hours.....Besides, considering Mike's isn't even built yet and his is in his sig I think I am ok ;-)

 

[WTF]

The weapons definately cost less the MM konig's Villans but I don't see how they're lighter. http://www.wheelsbymbmotoring.com/MBMotorsportsWeights.pdf

22pounds for the 17mm offset.

 

[TroyV]

Maybe the shipping scale is off but I weighed mine at 20.

Hmm, not too shabby. Weird that MB would have it wrong - you'd think it'd be a selling point to advertise it as light as it can be.

 

[TroyV]

Now you have me curious. 2 pounds is a big difference. I think I'll weigh all four together, and divide....perhaps the scale is more accurate with more weight.....not that it is a deal breaker by any means...but like I said...I'm really curious now.

Let me know what you find out. Those wheels are quite a bargin at that price even if they a tad heavier. :beer:

 

[Chris@DTD]

WTF, That is the shipping weight that is listed on the website. I haven't a clue on why it is done that way.

 

[TroyV]

I just weighed them again. I get 20 pounds per. This time I stacked them up on the scale and divided.

Well damn that rocks! Wish I had known before I made my wheel purchase. Thanks for verifying. :rockon:
