Any suggestions for a lightweight, flat black 17" rim?

I was all set to get black Mamba MR1, but can't find them in stock.

Just wanted to see some good options.

thanks for any suggestions!

I too wanted the mr1's, but got tired of waiting and found some cheap stock 17's and painted them myself with John Deere blitz black paint. My buddy has the mr1's and our rims look almost identical. I paid $150 for 5 rims and $50 for paint. Saved a lot of money. You'll be able to fit those tires with wheel spacers no problem.

thanks

only problem with that is I have lifetime rotate and balance w/ discount, and they won't touch spacers

Discount tire policy is they cannot mount the spacers but you can yourself and they are aloud to do mount and balance and rotations etc as long as they don't have to touch the spacers

thanks



I don't want spacers

Any reason you don't want spacers? I haven't had any problems with my spidertrax. I don't bother with the big name tire shops and prefer to rotate them myself or take my ride to a mom and pop tire shop. To each their own though. Good luck.

Bigger pic of my wheels. Look just like mr1's, but quarter of the price. I wasn't a fan of spacers at first, but I didn't like any other rims besides the mr1's, so I did the next best thing and couldn't be happier.

Think this may do the trick!

Thanks!!
