For those of you that have MB Motoring wheels, what are your thoughts on them? How are they holding up against chipping, pitting etc. and are they staying true?
I'm think about getting a pair and just want to know how they hold up.
Thanks for your input

i like mine, i used a harsh cleaner on them once and dulled the finish, started to polish one of them and it shined right back up, but then i quit cause i really dont care a whole lot about the looks anymore. mine have stayed true, i have 265/75/16 bfg all terrains mounted on them, and since moutning them on i havent had any probs with scuffing them on curbs, did that just once with the stock tires, put a good sized scratch in that wheel right at the bead, but no damage that would affect the tires or holding pressure.
overall i really like them, paid 600 for mine out the door with new lugs including one locking lug per wheel. let me know if ya got anymore questions bout them
What's wrong with your enkei's? They look pretty nice.
Oh no, they're not for the Tundra. Not even thinking about switching the Enkeis for aftermarket wheels, especially considering, I had to threaten the sales guy, with breaking the deal, if he wouldn't swap out the stock '04 TRD alloys with the Enkeis, when I bought the truck!
The reason I asked is... I'm looking a set of cheap (but good) polished wheels for my '95 Tacoma.

I bought some for the desert truck and there great. I pay $55 a wheel and they are just as strong as the rest plus they are cheap so if I hit a rock it is not as big of a deal as if they were around $100 each. I have bent a few on the rocks and used my hammer to fix it and they hold air. I use those as spares but they hold air and get me going again.

Are you talking about my enkei's?
If so, the reason I'm getting rid of those is because 2 of the wheels are not true and start to vibrate around 40 MPH...very annoying. Had them balanced 3 times before someone finally said that they were out of round.
I had actually just bought them from a guy on ebay, luckally he agreed to take them back, still lost a few dollars out of the deal though.
I was looking at picking up the MB Motoring "Rocker" wheels. $110 each. Not a bad deal if they hold up.

I've had MB Motoring (I think they are called Phantoms) for about 2 years now. They've been 'wheeled, parked in the snow, )even jumped a few curbs)I've had two sets of tires mounted/remounted on them. No pitting or clean up problems but that probably has to do with the fact that I don't clean my truck very often. With wheels the simpler the better. I know guys that put brake dust cleaner, wheel shine, and tire shine products on their wheels--they ALL have pitting. Go with soap and water and your wheels will last much longer.
So far so good, I got a great deal on them from America's Tire Co. They sold me the 16x8 Phantoms and Nitto Terra Grapplers (285/75R16) for $1050, including taxes, valve stems, etc.
Upgrades: PA 3" Body Lift, Powertrax No-Slip rear, Detroit ezLocker front, Fabtech/Fox front, Wheeler's AALs, TC Front Diff Drop, 16 x 8 MB Wheels, 285/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs, Pioneer Head Unit, Infiniti Reference speakers [front and rear], 150 W bridged amp to bandpass enclosure, 6 CD changer with IR remote, iPod mini and xm hardwired into stereo, Toyota drop in bedliner, and Tonneau cover

I've bought the Blitz model. Check my sig. for a link to photo's of them on my truck. I got all 4 out the door for a hair under $500. Very easy to clean. I have had them on now for a couple of 4x4 trips and zero problems. I love 'em!
