Default No more Mamba mr1 wheels

I was all set to buy a set of 5 mamba mr1's in black. They had the perfect back spacing and size for me and the have been discontinued. So bumbed out. I am not a huge fan of the AEV lineup and don't really like anything else out there. Just thought I would share in case you also had them in mind. sucks!

Yeah when I bought mine they only had 4 in stock and now I can't get one now I'll have to hunt one up but I love mine. I heard that some other company is buying the molds so they should be back under another name.

I wonder if you can find them still on the shelves of any local shops. Or mailorder shops.

There was a tire/wheel joint that kept pushing ads out to Craigslist about deals they were offering. I frequently saw Mamba wheels listed -- as recently as two or three weeks ago.

I have a brand new set of 4 that were silver, that I had powder coated flat black. Never been mounted. I'm thinking about selling them.

You might try running them in the Billboard section, I'm sure someone would be interested.
