After looking at real Mugen RNRs on the interent and in some old pics i had, I really want them. but, I know Rota makes a good copy of them. Could somebody post pics of both the Rota rim and the Mugen rim in silver? Mounted, un-mounted, I want to see the bare bones differences in these rims.
also, does anybody know the weight difference?

 

The RNR's are 8 pounds and the Rota's are 12 pounds. EG moderator Tom took pic of my RNR's next to the Rotas, they are in black though, I will ask Tom to post pics.

 

rnr have a more flat black color than the Rotas. Also, i think the real rnrs are weak at the spokes and sometimes tend to fracture(correct me if im wrong).

 

No problems yet!

yup . most mugen rims arent as glossy as their rota counterparts

RNRs are the only way to go. Its like giving your girl a fake Rolex or Louis Vuitton... crap is crap.

Sort of. They are a soft cast material. So, if your not careful they are bendable.

You just have to be very careful when driving on bad roads.

and who said we have to treat our cars like people?

 

I have a set of silver RnR's up for sale right now. It seems nobody wants them. I dont know if Rota is the f***ing problem, but they sure have made an impact on mugen wheels.

Maybe it's just that people are weary of spending over $1000 for just rims on their $2500 hondas.

not to rain on your parade but the Mugen's tend to have a problem with hairline cracks around the spoke area.

So its like buying your girl a real Rolex when she gives head to other guys.. .. . its just not worth it.

Then I would have to say any mod to a honda is worthless. I just prefer Mugen over the fake stuff.

 

crailtap

 

So basically is the whole thign about Mugen rims cracking what people have "heard" or is it a fact? I really doubt mugen rims crack before rota shitstreams and other rims.

 

They get stress cracks where the spoke meets the lip. It has happened to me. I have also seen my friends black and reds get cracks. He didnt even know his was cracked until I took a look at his rims. The person who sold them to him tried to cover it up with black marker. Does anybody know what squeeze process is?

 

*raises hand* metal forging Mr. PUZa?

 

okay so which is better...common sense would say yes, but overall?

 

i don't see what the problem is. If the rotas are shinier, more durable, AND cheaper...dude...this discussion should be over already
