Default Mugen MR5 and M7 wheel info.

The MR5 were available in 14/15 and the M7 was avaiable in 15/16, right? Are they both 2 pc wheels?

Yup, you have the sizes of the wheels right. The 16 inch M7 is super super rare. I recall both wheels being two piece. I may be wrong, but I am pretty positive the MR5 is a two piece wheel for sure. The M7 I'm a little iffy on...Oh and oops, forgot to mention, the MR5's came in 16's too. I checked one of my old Mugen brochures. I've seen 16 inch M7's in person, but never a 16 inch MR5, other than pics...rare.

I have the MR5's they are 2 piece for sure. I know because I had to take them apart. I am almost positive that the M7 is probably 2 piece also. Do you know someone who wants some 15's?

I'm pretty sure the M7s are 2 piece myself, but I haven't seen any real life before. Are you still trying to sell your copper colored MR5s?

I am pretty sure. I wouldn't mind a trade either... I just need to go with another color wheel. Any suggestions?

Black and red RNRs or MF8s in bronze, 15x7" bronze Volk CE28Ns. I think the body color MR5s look sweet on your car... I'd like to get another set of wheels myself and have though of trading or selling them but am worried about having regrets. When I bought mine, I was stuck between the RNRs in black, bronze MF8s and the 16" Spoons. Since I couldn't deceide, I asked everyone I knew which they liked better. I'd like to pick up set of Mugen wheels someday, just don't know which one and with what money. Hey, you can never have enough set of wheels, especially if they're Honda only tuner wheels which will never go out of style.

What color is your EK? Is it that Volvo C70 copper or the paint from the 3.2CL?

neither, it is the 2001 Civic Inca Pearl. The volvo one is a little more orange similar to the CL. You are right though, you can never have enough wheels, but enough space to put them is required. Thats the bad part.

Here's what the Volvo copper looks like:

But yeah, I like ek_mr5's goldish color as well, looks real clean but also eyecatching...

I don't think those are the 16's in those pics. I've talked to the owner before and he does have 16 inch M7's but they weren't on for the photoshoot. Those are still 15's I believe...
