- Hey guys, what's going on?
It's Alex from Fitment Industries
and we are at the Motegi booth
and we are taking a look at Motegi wheels.
We're going to talk about the 2019 releases,
we're going to talk about the 2018 wheels
and we're going to talk about what wheels
we might be putting on a 318i.
If you stick around long enough to see
which ones you think behind us are gonna go on the 318.
So let's jump into it.
So the first thing that you guys need to know
is the MR, the 140 are all,
that's going to be your cast wheel,
you're looking at the MR141 as well.
This is a new release for 2019,
it's your typical multi-spoke rally-style wheel.
It's a little bit black here,
it reminds me of a little bit of an OZ wheel,
but definitely something I think is pretty killer
and then obviously you have the Motegi Racing.
The MR140 has that embossed Motegi Racing,
it has like a raised face almost,
and then you've got the multi-spoke style wheel here.
Now, with these are more of like a,
I feel like they're more of a rally-inspired style look,
so if this is your sort of look,
I think it would look great on,
like a hot hatch or something similar, just my opinion.
MR140 in a different color here.
You can actually see a little bit more of the design.
It is more of like a softer spoke design, though,
so, it doesn't have a lot of harsh edges
or anything like that.
It does feature a little bit of almost
like it's own version of a step lip on the spoke,
which I think is just a really nice touch.
It's a pretty good-looking wheel.
Now if we go over,
we're going to switch sides to the MR141.
This is a new wheel design that's coming out for 2019.
Again, it's like a multi-spoke, its a flatter spoke style,
and then again it has like a little bit of
a raised edge inside the spoke just to give it
a little bit of depth.
Now this is, I think, going to be a pretty cool wheel.
Definitely something I would also see on like an all-track.
Maybe like a Volkswagen of some kind.
Something that's just a little bit for the sport-oriented,
but nothing too crazy,
'cause it's not a very aggressive-looking wheel.
Now if you go over to the fun stuff,
we're going to talk about
the other things that Motegi's doing.
So, if you didn't know, Motegi does forged monoblock,
forged two-piece, forged multi-piece wheels,
and this is just a couple of the wheels that they're doing.
So you're going to be looking at the MR400.
Now the MR400 is probably like one of my favorite wheels.
It's that iconic Motegi racing-style wheel
that you're going to see here.
It's that split one, two, three, four, five, spoke wheel.
It's got the polish, there, a polish center,
and then it's a forged two-piece,
which means you can get it in pretty much any sizing,
any finish, any offset that you want.
They pretty much want you to stick around,
like the 18, 19, 20, mark or 17s
are something that they can do,
but probably not anything less.
If you go down here, this is the one
that we might be possibly looking at putting into the 318.
Let us know what you guys think.
This is the MR408.
This is like an Alpena style wheel
Very cool.
Heavy on the multi-spoke.
You're going to see the raised spoke
and it's a very flat design.
So, again, it's going to give you that nice
step lip that you're going to get with,
depending of the offset that you want.
And it's just overall, probably one of my favorite
looking wheels on the wall.
This is my favorite of all time,
'cause it's just the best racing-looking wheel ever.
Sorry, BBS.
But MR408 is probably close behind for me, personally.
A different finish, not sure if I love it
or if I don't love it,
just because everything that has
a very poppy color has to fit right on the car.
This is the one that we might be thinking
of actually putting on the 318i,
so let us know what color you think
that face should be in the comment section below.
And then, finally, we've actually already
talked about this, but this is the MR406.
Now this is a racing wheel
that has actually been on a car before.
I can't remember off the top of my head,
but probably one of my favorite designs
for the MR406 is this.
Then you obviously see the gold-platted center,
with the polished lip, polished barrel,
then the forged multi-piece.
So you're going to get a lot of that,
then over here is probably one
of the trendiest, I would say.
So this is going to remind you
probably a couple of Eurostyle wheels.
This is the MR409, then you're going to see
the brush titanium-style center.
You got your polished barrel,
which is obviously a great touch.
And of course, it just looks really sharp.
You have the Motegi logo in orange right there.
Lots of aggressive stuff happening obviously.
You have this indentation for the spokes, here,
which I think gives it a lot of depth and then these lines.
And then of course, you're just gonna see
some really nice, almost brushing
on that face as well, which is super cool.
So, Motegi is up to a lot.
They're planning on getting a lot into the racing scene,
they want their wheels to be about the racing scene,
they want the designs to look like they came off
the race track and honestly,
I think for the most part,
they're doing a pretty darn good job
if you really think about it.
Right here, we're looking at the MR408s,
we're looking at the flow forged.
These right here are going
to be rotary forged, there for you.
So it's a flow form technology,
so it's a little bit lighter.
Should be able to handle anything that you throw at it.
And of course lighter wheels is always usually better.
