what offsets did these come in, and do they fit 96-00 coupes? are these wheels forged? what's the going rate for a set in good condition? thanks for the help guys.

 

38mm & 40mm I think. as long as your 4x100 should fit fine. You can find these in the classified section of H-T anywhere from 900-1400. I'd like to sell mine for 1000.00 w/ tires

 

how much do they weigh, and are they forged?

 

On a scale w/o the tire it was 8.8 @ Express Tire shop. Don't think that they are forged, something more like squeezed process.

 

haha squeezed process? u would think all mugens would be forged.

 

Yeah squeezed process. It says it right on the front of the wheel.

Forging = Squeezing .

but why call it squeezed process? just sounds weird to me.

In Japan I think they like to give more description than we Americans. Like Accord Euro R vs TSX...

Mugen's 'Cold Squeeze Forging' is like this:

Press Forgings: Press forging use a slow squeezing action of a press, to transfer a great amount of compressive force to the workpiece. Unlike an open-die forging where multiple blows transfer the compressive energy to the outside of the product, press forging transfers the force uniformly to the bulk of the material. This results in uniform material properties and is necessary for large weight forgings. Parts made with this process can be quite large as much as 125 kg (260 lb) and 3m (10 feet) long.

They are discontinued but not because of cracking. The cracking occurs from abuse. Both my silver's & blk/reds are still good.

 

i dont know or care why they were discontinued, but have seen 2 sets of broken RnRs. they were use on a track, sorry for not clearing that up. but daily driven, no worries.

im not speculating. i just lack the effort to include detail =p

would be nice to have a set but i use the money i save from buying rotas for performance

i love them wheeeeeeeelz

 

Bought and sold mine for $850
