Easy to clean for winter application, and very very light. 40 pounds lighter than my OZ 35th Anniversary

Yeah I like the first ones also. They do not need Hub centric rings.

The TR MT1 wheels remind me of the Weds Sport TC105Ns.

TR MT1


The TC105Ns are FORGED.

With these super light wheels, can you tell a difference in terms of performance compared to the stock ones?

I personally can't but some of my friends swear they can..perhaps it's just their wallets getting lighter. :P

I'd like them better if they came in 18x8.5 instead of 18x8 --- the more rubber on the road, the better. Also, the 32mm offset is going to be a tighter fit than the standard 34mm front and 37mm back.

They fit fine on my car even with H&R sport springs installed. Plus I saved about 52 lbs by switching.

TR MT1 wheels installed on TAG

Here are a couple shots of my car with my new wheels. Its great to loose 47 lbs of unsprung weight. BTW my commute gas milage went up 2-3 Mpg.

I went with the 18 X 9 rear and using my bathroom scale they weighed in at 18.4 lbs compared to 32.1 lbs for my rear 162.
