Whether you have a Ford Fiesta ST, a Chevy Cobalt, or a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR, the wheels look great and make your vehicle stand out. They are excellent rims for the price, they look good, and they last a long time.

Motegi Racing MR131

This matte bronze 18-inch wheel is also available in a 17-inch diameter, satin black, and silver finishes. It has a hub bore of 72.6mm and a 35mm offset.

The flow-formed design provides the barrel a lot of strength and lighter weight that you won't find on a regular cast wheel, and the painted matte bronze finish doesn't look cheap. Additionally, the extra width of the wheels may improve cornering performance (compared to stock wheels). They look good and ride well, whether you drive a Toyota MR2 or a Subaru WRX.

Motegi Racing MR127 

These 17-inch satin black wheels are also available in an 18-inch diameter, but no other finishes are available. They have a 10-spoke design and are made of high-quality aluminum. They have a 38mm offset and a 72.6mm hub bore.

They look great on a wide range of vehicles, including the Mazda 6, Ford Mustang, and Subaru Outback. The wheels are simple to clean and of reasonable quality for the price. Depending on the vehicle, they may remove some unsprung weight and make the steering lighter.

Motegi Racing MR107

These 18-inch rims are available in 16-, 17-, and 20-inch diameters, with a gloss black painted finish and machined face and lip. The split five-spoke wheels have machined accents on each spoke and rivets around the wheel. The offset is 42mm, and the bore of the hub is 72.6mm.

The wheels are stylish, affordable, and long-lasting, and they make your vehicle look completely different from the factory. The small chrome 12-point rivets do a decent job of keeping the rims clean. They have a smooth ride and are a great value for the money.

The most popular Motegi wheels are made of aluminum, which is lighter than steel and has excellent heat dissipation. Aluminum wheels are made in a variety of ways, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. More information on one-piece cast, flow form, forged, and multi-piece wheels can be found below.

One-Piece Cast Wheels

Cast wheels are created by pouring molten aluminum into a mold. The metal takes on the shape of the mold as it cools and hardens. There are three casting methods that are still used today: counter pressure molding, high counter pressure molding (HCM), and low/pressure gravity molding.

Each molding method yields wheels with a distinct weight, strength, finish, and design. The more sophisticated the method, the lighter and stronger the wheel. However, these wheels are typically more expensive than wheels produced using less sophisticated processes.

Flow Form Wheels

Flow form technology is one of the most advanced methods of making wheels in the wheel industry. The process begins similarly to how cast wheels are made. The distinction is in how the barrel is handled, specifically how much pressure is applied to it.

Steel rollers press the barrel together, stretch, and compress the aluminum as it spins and heats up. This is done to increase the tensile strength of the wheel. As a result, the wheel is lighter, stronger, and has more elongation. Flow form wheels outperform regular cast wheels in terms of shock resistance and load capacity.

Forged Wheels

Forged wheels are often referred to as "billet" wheels, but the terms are not interchangeable. The manufacturing process is known as forging, and the billet is a solid block of aluminum used in the process. Forging involves applying thousands of pounds of pressure to an aluminum alloy, pressing and rolling it into a specific shape.

The wheel is then given a final polish. Forged wheels are lighter, denser, and more durable than other types of wheels.

Multi-Piece Wheels

When it comes to multi-piece wheels, the aforementioned processes are combined to create wheels with different strengths and weights. For example, you might come across a wheel with an aluminum center that is welded to a steel barrel. A two-piece wheel could have a billet center welded to a rolled outer piece.

A wheel with a split outer piece with custom-set widths and offsets, also known as three-piece construction, is another example. Its center can be forged, cast, or billet, and it is usually attached to the outer piece with special screws and rivets.

What to Look for When Buying Motegi Wheels

There are several factors to consider before purchasing a set of aftermarket wheels from Motegi or another brand. The first and foremost consideration is style. You want wheels that will set your vehicle apart from the crowd. However, you should also think about the size of the wheels and how they will fit on your car, truck, or SUV.

Style

One of the most common reasons people change their wheels is to improve the appearance of their vehicles. The outboard face or cosmetic face is the part of the wheel that you see when it's attached to the car. Motegi manufactures a wide range of wheels with various designs and spokes.

Motegi wheels are also available in a variety of finishes, including chrome, satin black, and matte bronze, and you can customize the look to suit your preferences. The good news is that upgrading your wheels will usually make it more appealing, which will increase its value.

Center Bore

The center bore, or middle hole in the wheel, is one of the most important parts of the wheel. This is the location where the wheel fits over the axle and bears the weight of the vehicle. OEM wheels are made to fit the axle seats perfectly.


In the case of aftermarket rims, the center bore must be the same or larger than the OEM size in order to fit over the axle. There is usually a gap because most aftermarket wheels have larger center bores to fit a variety of vehicles. As a result, hub-centric rings or spacers will be required to prevent vibration and ensure that neither the wheels nor the lug nuts are damaged.

As a result, hub-centric rings or spacers will be required to prevent vibration and ensure that neither the wheels nor the lug nuts are damaged.

Offset

When purchasing aftermarket wheels, ensure that the offset is correct to avoid rubbing against the suspension, brakes, fenders, bumpers, and other components. The incorrect offset can also affect braking and vehicle stability. A zero offset wheel has an even centerline and hub mounting surface.

A positive offset wheel has the hub mounting surface closer to the street side of the centerline. This type of offset is found in front-wheel drive vehicles as well as more modern rear-wheel drive vehicles. A negative offset indicates that the hub mounting surface is located behind the centerline. On "deep dish" wheels, this is more common.

Size

Wheels are available in a variety of sizes. Depending on your preferences, you may want to upgrade your OEM wheels to a larger size or stay the same with an aftermarket wheel. The profile of the tire will be reduced if you use a larger diameter wheel. A larger wheel and tire combination will also provide more traction. The ride, however, may not be as smooth.


It's worth noting that the larger the diameter of the wheel, the higher the price. The difference between a 15- and 16-inch wheel may not be significant; however, you must also consider tire costs. Larger tires can be significantly more expensive than smaller ones.

Conclusion

Motegi wheels are an excellent choice for anyone who values aesthetics or who spends a lot of time on the racetrack. These wheels are available in a variety of finishes, styles, and sizes. They are also extremely light, resulting in less inertia and faster acceleration.
