Default MRR Wheels?

Been on the hunt for a new set of wheels on a tight budget and saw these. Anyone have MRR wheels and/or know the quality, companies reputation, etc. They kind of resemble the Fikse Profil 10...here they are side by side:

I don't know anything about them, but I'll bet you a dollar they are made in China with crap metal.

You can have nice wheels, or you can have budget wheels.

Where did you see them and how much do they cost? Too cheap usually means too heavy and probably leak air. Otherwise, they look good. Check it out some more and let us know. If I were you, I'd check out CCW wheels. They look great, quality and service is beyond reproach and they're made here in the good ole USA. I've got them on my car and couldn't be any happier with my purchase.

Like the others said, they look good but I've never heard of them. Check them out carefully if you decide to buy them.

They look good from here! Let us know what you think of them and don't forget the pics. BTW, MMR is the call letters for the old stand by rock radio station in this area (Phila.) HHhhmmm, I wonder?

Click on the MRR website, then click on "about us", and go to the manufacturing facility pictures. All the nomenclature on the equipment is in Chinese. TELL YOU ANYTHING??

Those wheels look a lot like the Cray Manta wheels. I saw them on a car in a show this weekend and wished they would've been out last year when I bought my Cray Scorpions. They are very reasonably priced as well.

There was a forum member on one of the vette forums that was a supporting vendor. He sent me a hell of a price but I don't know or remeber where it was at and can't find it in my pms. Even though they don't cost thousands does not mean they could be half bad.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...&highlight=mmr Looks like I am getting some new wheels. Especially since they are light in weight. This should shed some information on this thread. Contacted a vendor. Wheel weight is 22 pounds.
