Cool Mamba Offroad Type MR-1 Wheels


Classic looks with a simple design, our Mamba 5 spoke wheels provide the perfect choice for durability and style. We eliminated the outer wheel weight lip and added an inside wheel weight channel for sticky weights. By moving the unsightly wheel weights out of sight and out of harms way, they are less prone to loss. MR-1 wheels are fully powder coated with silver, satin black and clear finishes. These deceptively simple wheels feature cast aluminum construction and are easy to clean with no nooks and crannies. These are an excellent choice for both street and trail.

Those are some good looking wheels. I wish you would have had them 6 months ago...

Do these have more back spacing than the factory wheels? Will I have to use spacers on anything larger than a 32" tire?

On the 17x8 they are 4.5" backspacing, the 18x9 are 4.75"... close to factory spec.

You may need spacers for rear on LT305/70 R17 and larger tires.

Is it just me or do they look really really familiar? Oh yeah, I got them free on my Rubicon.

They look nice, and for someone trying to emulate the rubi wheels they would be great. But why 17x8? That's only .5" difference from the rubi wheels. 17x9 would make much more sense. I wouldn't even consider 17x8. Good luck though.
