You mean like...

Receiving a set of wheels when you were expecting a steering wheel?

Thanks.


Had two sets pass by me over the years a 15” set and a 16” set, both needed a refurb. But it’s a no go with the current big brake setup I’m fitting.

The current wheels that are also being refurbed are old skool 17” Volk Racing Group A Evo 2’s (with Magnesium baskets). So actually rarer than the M7’s. Only set in the UK I’ve seen, of only a handful in the world.

Shall I post up some more of the brochures? Some good stuff on the older bits.

^^Agreed on m7s. Some spacers will take care of that; you'd be surprised how forgiving M7s are when it comes to clearance even with the high offsets. In any case, nice Mugenz Nucleustylz!

The wheels on the car in the pics appear to be a pretty high offset. We know the M7's will at least clear the larger 5-lug ITR brakes and so I am sure that a mild spacer will take care of any issues. As for me, I'm considering 25mm spacers to push em' out a little bit.

Spacers=$200
Rebarrel=$2000

Easy call.

Thread below is good for them, it doesn't get updated enough!

Good shout!


As for the brakes and spacers, the brakes on there now are just the usual Legend twin pot mod on OEM 282mm discs. The brakes that don't fit are Hi Spec (UK brand) 4 pots with 325mm two piece discs.

However, looks like I may be getting an alternative of Ksport 6 pots with 304mm discs instead. Not sure if this will help but the calipers look bigger.

Anyway, not thread related, up for more Mugen?

Another to leave you with, I love this angle of my car:



Oh and the old pair of Mugen sides I sold, found some in better shape and I've just had them back from paint with some Spoon mirrors too!

I would say NSX spec rears would be the holy grail. That's just me.

Last 4x100 set I saw went for over $4k. I know NSX spec sets go for over $6k, but they seem slightly more common.

Holy grail of 4 lug M7s indeed.

4500 IIRC , and I believe it caused a bit of unrest among the mugen hommies.
