Any experience w/ Discount Tire's MB line of wheels?

[TheFuzz]

Anyone have an opinion on Discount Tire's line of MB Wheels? Not looking for bling, happy with my 285-70-17 Terra Grapplers. I've painted my stock wheels matte black w/ plastidip, which is holding up beautifully after about 6 months, but I know as soon as I take my truck in to get the tires rotated and re-balanced the finish will get torn up by the mounting machine. Thinking about buying a set of wheels with a proper matte black finish.

Saw these on DT's website:

Simple, clean looking, and not terribly expensive at $102/ea. No stores around here have them in stock, so since I'd have to order them in anyway, I checked Discount Tire Direct's website and they are offering a $50 off instant credit, plus another $30 rebate if I buy them with my Car Care One account (which I used to buy my tires interest free...just paid them off). So basically it'd be $403 delivered (after accounting for the $75 they charge for the wheel-specific lug nut kit ).

Thoughts? Current setup w/ OEM wheels:


If anyone has any experience one way or the other w/ MB wheels I'd love to hear about it.

Nice! Great looking truck. Are those the MB 72's? As far as the offset goes I just plugged my truck's info into the website and browsed the options that came up...I'd hope that they would only show me stuff that fits correctly! lol.

Thanks, that sounds right, and thats what I did too, I mean they fit they just stick out a lil more gives it a meaner look, under the specs of the rim it should say the offset, and great customer service one of the center caps was damaged sent a new one free of charge

I bought the same wheels as 95escahoe....kinda. They had a polished lip on them.
One of my caps came off while messing around in the desert. I could not find a replacement cap at Discount Tire, so I took alll of them off. I liked it better than the caps.

As far as the wheels go...I had no issues.
As far as Discount Tire....Never will go back to them again!

Wish you lived a little closer. I still have the wheels.

Did you try calling them about the center caps? Cause when I got mine I called them up and ordered a spare set incase anything happens
