Good question, seems like many of the posters here are happy with MRR GT1's.

I just purchased the GT1's and am looking for a way to fit a Lexus center cap.
Can you buy just the "L" and adhere it to the MRR cap?
Does anyone know where I could get the "L"

Is the MRR wheel considered to be "high quality"?

looks like a cheap knock off to me. cast, 1 piece, and heavy as hell. im not saying its a bad wheel, just not in the same category as volk, work, or ssr. will it get you from point a to b and look decent doing it? Sure. Is it lighter and stonger than oem wheels? No

Any idea what the weight of the stock 18" wheel is versus the MRR GT1 19" wheel?
