Default MB Wheels

So has anyone got experience with MB wheels. I have just order these (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...an&tmn=Drifter) for my winter wheels setup. I will be putting 245/40 on all four.

I will be giving my friend my sport package wheels to put on his 350, and getting my TE37s with RE11s for the spring time.

had MB's on my last car. Not this set, but wheels held up well. Not bad quality for cheap cast wheels.

They're a good option if you want a cheaper wheel for DD

Yeah, I had set of MBs on my RX8...held up well and suprisingly came in a "flush" offset for the car. I don't think you'e going to have any issues with this wheel.

Is the square setup better for winter driving?

well, yes in the sense that having a wide tire isn't really a great idea for winter, and in the sense that you can rotate the tires after 1-2 seasons to get some more life out of them. Also, certain brands don't make the right sizes for a staggered setup for our cars. i'm going with 245/45/18 Dunlop wintersport M3's all around on the stock 18's

Rotation is the exact reason i got a non-staggered setup. Also, i want these to be my driftin set, so i feel rotations would be necessary to SLIGHTLY increase the lifetime of the tires.

What size did you get for the front and how much wider for the rear?

It's not really a square setup if the offset and width are different on F&R
