Niche Wheels and M130

Anyone run these? Specifically I am interested in the M130 Targa so anyone with any feedback on Niche or these wheels specifically, it would be greatly appreciated. These are a fraction of the cost of some of the other big names in our space but they look good in pictures

Those Niche Targa are available in 4 series. See Carid.com and enter Targa in the search box at the top of the page. All prices seem to be a 20% discount from msrp.

Targa A210 multipiece series starting at $900.90. Forged 18" - 26"

Targa T14 monotech series starting at $1015.28. Forged 19" - 23"

Targa M215 track series starting at $527.17. 2 piece - cast center, spun forged outer rim 20"

Targa M130 sport series starting at $188.02. Cast (Black with machined face) 19" - 20"

These wheels are by MHT. The cast wheels are cheap for a reason. I really know nothing about these wheels but MHT is a huge wheel manufacturer and makes lots of parts used by other wheel manufactures to build their wheels.

We work directly with the manufacture of Niche wheels very closely and we've got a few sets of their wheels that haven't even been announced yet! (stay tuned for pics)

What did you want to know about these? I can tell you they are the same quality as all the other wheels that are cast overseas and relabeled however MHT doesn't mark them up as much. I can get a set of these to you guys for like $999 shipped but it depends on which size you want.

Let me know what color

Thanks, did not realize that they had that same wheel in various "build" configurations and such a big delta in pricing across them. So the Sport Line cast wheels are way cheaper but would the finish durability be the same on all of these? For me this is for a DD so I don't want to spend the money on the monoblock or forged ruggedness but I am picky about how the finish/look stands up to the elements.

Honestly the cast series from MHT is very similar in quality to what you get from companies like Vossen

Arsha when you say cast, are you referring to Gravity, Flow Formed, or Low pressure?

Pretty sure they're both low pressure but I have to double check with MHT on theirs

I've been looking at the Targa's as well for my 06 SLK55 AMG. Like the black with the machined look. I too have been wondering about the finish and the durability of the wheel. I don't track my car, so this is mostly a look thing for me as the car has plenty of performance already.

I have the M130 targa color black on my clk350. They're 19in and definitely make the car look better. Ive had them for a year now and have gone over many pot holes and the rims have been hit by many little road rocks. But they're are no paint chips or bending. They're very durable rims and very hard to ruin even if you tried.
