I dont know how good they are. ive heard of them on Pep Boys comercials though. Look at how much they weigh and more inportantly, will they properly fit your car. You should get a set that have the right offset.

Give or take $600 per set, lightweight and durable with comparatively handsome finishes, 7.5in width (instead of the common 7 in). They're a real bargain.I'd say premium would be Volk, Advan, Work, Weds Sport, etc.
Wheels like HRE and Kinesis are just fudgin' ridiculous

I'm too poor to even afford Rota's!Seriously though, congrats on your impending purchase. Post some pics for us to ogle when you get'em!

I looked into Motegi wheels before buying my Rotas. The average of their 17x7 weighs 22lbs. The highest offset is also +45mm. And widths are only 7in and thats as wide as they get. Meanwhile my Rotas are priced a little less, my 17x7.5 weighs as light as the stock 16in rims. +48mm offsets, I was sold.

I am running Motegi 17" MR7's in gunmetal with Yoko 225/45/17 es100 and they fit fine over my 13" Brembo GT brakes I even bought a 5th wheel and mounted a omni-directional tire (same size) as a spare Weight is not a concideration as I wound't know the differance between 22 or 16lbs wheel in handling and with the BIG *** Brembos I have no problems coming to HALT!!
They look great and serve their purpose(keeping bottom of car off the road) If I was to find fault with my set up it would be with the rubber NOT the wheels,and Man they were at the right price
Soooo Motegi ??? HECK YEAH !!!
