Going through this thread it doesn't seem like Mugen GP wheels are that well liked, any reason why?

I'm thinking of getting a set of the gunmetal ones for my Laguna.

No different than MF10's. When MF10's first came out, only four or five of us had sets on S2000s (GregStevens, EFFECT, GTRPower, and turbo_pwr). Other than that, almost everyone railed against them.

The other reason why the GP's may not have taken ahold is that they are expensive and almost look like TE37s. Just my opinion though.

Interesting, makes sense though. That is one of the reasons I like them, that almost no one has them.

I'm thinking it's because most people going aftermarket wheels want to run a 9 in the rear but I think the GP's only go up to an 8.5.

I actually like the Mugen GPs a lot. Just purchased a set for my Mugen Civic Si project.





Some more Mugen goods

Good point about the 8.5s, I didn't think about that. They work great for me since I don't want to roll my fenders.

Looks great, I think I prefer the gunmetal to the bronze, fits the wheel better.

I've been going back and forth on doing the Mugen lip, wing, and the hood on my car. I always said I would just leave my car stock, but I saw this and just fell in love with it.
