For me personally i don't like them. Two reasons.

1. Don't like the style.
2. Looks pretty heavy.

If I'm not mistaken they're manufactured by OZ, which is an excellent maker of wheels. They're a little on the heavy side, but definitely durable.

I love the MAE rims. They are made by OZ...so the quality is top-notch. And the style is all personal preference. I'm sure the rims are not any heavier than hamann PG3 or similar 3 piece rim. I think that the 3 piece MAE rim looks excellent...especially when staggered. They would be my first choice.

I know Peter from wheelexpert.com carries MAE rims.

I cannot seem to find prices on these rims though.

I simply love the MAE rims. other than its stylish design, its also not that commen. I believe that the rims in 19 cost around 1850 at wheelexpert (1 piece). However i am able to get them for 1500 Euro a set here in Germany (8.5x19 and 9.5x19)

Are you kidding me? 1850 for 19" single piece rim is outrageous. Unless ofcourse they are forged rims.

Edit: nevermind I just read "a set" 1850 a set sounds right.

Tetza, the rims pictured are a 3 piece forged rim, manufactured by O.Z racing, maker of amg, hamann, etc.

I know, but mike82y implied that the rims costed 1850 per rim? or for a set of Singlepiece rims? I'm still a bit confused on that part.

I did however found a site with pretty competative prices on most rims
http://www.racerwheel.com/wheels-rims.html


MAE rims on their site are $1117 for a 20x9 3-piece rim.

yes in American dollars, Wheel Experts offers that price.

1-piece is US$1850 and 3-piece is US$3600. Prices are for all 4 19" wheels(two 19x8.5 and two 19x9.5) not including tires.

3600 for 3-piece rims are a good price!

threatcon13,

I totally didn't see you wrote "forged". I didn't know these rims are forged.
