Just picked up my “commuter” wheels and tires today from tire rack warehouse in DE. It’s Motegi MR148 CS13+Continental Extreme Contact 245 40ZR18. It’s the cheapest combo I could find for daily commute, nothing about performance.

I was just on their site looking at these for a tad over 200 per rim. You got a great deal!

Over $200? WHAT? The original price was like $150 something when I ordered, but there were some error on their end, which delayed the order by over a month. So they nicely took $25 off each rim. Are you looking at the 8.5?
I’d say I’m very pleased with tire rack.

????When I was a boy, my dream car was the first gen Impreza WRX with bronze wheels. I’m not getting the WRX, but I’ll make the bronze wheel dream come true.

Real question, does Motegi make decent wheels now?

If you had told me people were throwing Motegis on their cars ten years ago I wouldve cringed hard.

I know their 19 inch is popular with autocross guys, and im seeing them more and more on CTRs, just curious, no hate lol. They used to be a discount tire special back in the day I think and they were everywhere on so many cars.

I’d say they are 100% economy rim. The only reason I buy them is to commute. The stock rim and tire are pretty decent for moderate track use and it’s quite stable while going 130mph. But after I changed this new setup, it’s just soft even going 110mph. I wasn’t sure it’s the tire or rim. But this setup is just for me to commute 120 miles everyday going 60-70 mph. And I believe this new tire should have better traction on wet surface than the stock one.
