The circuit8's look a great rip off of the Mugen MF10s I've got a second set of S2000 wheels which I use for track days, what I need is a set of bling bling lightweight wheels. Are these cast or forged wheels? Any weights?

I was told that they dont come in differing widths cos i was considering a set to replace my 16"s as i need larger to clear the brakes...

Ideally i want a 7-8" front and a 81/2-9" rear, something to run 215/45/17 and 245/40/17 yoko A048's on...

Defo interested if the sizes can be confirmed

Circuit 8s are a copy of MF8s although you can get Circuit 10s, which are a copy of..............MF10s

AFAIK all Rotas are cast not forged, but still light weight. There is a pdf available on the web with the weight of most wheels available:

http://www.wheelweights.net


I think some of the Rotas are listed.

I notice those in the groupa.jpg have exactly the same logo as those on our Civic & S2K!

Why do I suspect it's like the clothes one sees in catalogues - The one you get ain't like the one in the photograph?
