Default Give me you honest opinion of these rims.

I ordered some Motegi Racing MR 116s today for my S2000. The fronts are 18 by 8 offset +45 and the backs are 18 by 9 offset +45. Is it something I should stick with? What are your thoughts? Im getting 4 brand new rims, 20 lug nuts, hubcentric rings, valve stems and shipping all for under $500.

I would also be looking for AP2 rims by thursday. After that, Im sticking with the Motegi Racing Rims.

I think they are ugly. Great price...I guess, but still ugly. I say AP2 is a better upgrade.

Before




After




I got all rims and tires for 550$ and they were in really good condition. Better feel with them over stock AP1's, and the back end isn't as twitchy. In fact, it feels just as aggressive as it looks. I highly recommended them.

You'll probably need to spend another 100 or so to roll the rears with those wheels...

I love those AP2s dperry9..... I would pay that price but everything around here is jacked up or non-existant. If you know anyone with those rims for sale let me know.

Im going to call up and cancel my Motegi Racing rims.

This statement is like every other fitment post on this forum. Very misleading. The only time you'll need to roll fenders with these offsets is when you are lowered more than an inch. Must be the majority of forum members here have their cars slammed.
