I have a set of MBMotoring 747 that I won from Discount Tire Direct thru one of their eBay auctions. I don't drive long distances so I can't comment on durability. The finish looks the same as when I got them last year, but I only use them during the non-snow months. One problem area is around the centercap, where the finish is slightly lifting for some reason. That, and the other minor flaws they have, and the minor flaws they had when I got them (used), is no big deal to me. I can't complain for the $183.50 for the set, delivered Mine are not the lightest either, being 15 pounds for a 15 inch wheel.

thanks for your input. i believe my stock steelies are 18lbs including tire... someone PLEASE correct me if im wrong.

$660 for a set of rims + tires IS a good deal, but i want to make sure im not being a not-well-made product.

so the only flaw you saw was the manufacturing of the rim? how 'lifted' is the area around the centercap? is it noticable?

Thanks,

jase

I am sure the wheels, when new, were flawless. Now one has a very minor flat spot on one of the lips, and some idiot at a tire place carved some paint off a lip, between the tire and the lip. I was not happy, but eh I got them dirt cheap. They came from Discount Tire's auction with some very minor hazing on one of the wheels.


The lifting is not really noticeable, until you remove the centercap. Most damage is under there, with it being very slight. Pry not really a manufacturing flaw, since they are used, and I have no idea how old they are.

I think new they have some sort of finish warranty

Yes, they come with a 1 year warranty against workmanship parts.

This is what my car would look like (pictured is 2002, i have 2005) with these rims on them...



OR ?
