you can see our other designs at www.mrrwheels.com (just double click on wheels.

Design is one thing, like Paul mentioned there are many factors that determine cost.

Location where they're built
Type of cast and material used
FINISH, this is a huge cost increase
Build process, and custom offerings
And fitment

Don't look at the design and assume all things are equal. Hope that helps.
We don't offer MRR wheels currently (So this isn't me trying to sell something) but the finish alone is worth the price difference.

I hope you didn't take my post in a negative connotation. I have a set of drift wheels. Thus the question, finish I can understand since you bring that up.

I'd love to see brushed bronze! I'm a big fan of the brushed look as long as it's done well.

I'd love to see your take on bronze.
I dont have one in stock but these are Matte Bronze which is perfect for Mustangs, the new mustang creates so much caliper dust that Silver just wont do. this is the same GF9 and its on the bosses M4 ( sorry not a Mustang )
but the color is their.

A few things

Concavity
design of concave
finish being a brushed gunmetal tint
price point
These wheels are fully cnc on order for bolt pattern and offset which allows for a spot on custom fit at a very affordable price.

amazing customer service & warranty

Thanks Jay & Paul,
I am still not convinced. I agree the finish is a lot better than the SVE Drift.
Location of build makes a little difference by labor rates, access to raw materials, costs of transportation, and if you want to dig deeper, environmental impacts. Most likely the one shown is the 10.5’ one and this would be more concave.

I am not knocking MMR or the wheel by any means. I like the GF9 very well. Your replies don’t really go into what the real difference is between the 2.

Offset design being one and the added 10.5 inch Wheel another.

Rotary forged, cast …. CNC’d doesn’t mean much to me at this point as I could see the SVE using the same.

SVE: Width - 9.5” Offset - +35mm
GF9: Width - 9.5” Offset - +40, +42, +45 MM
5 to 10mm difference in the offset also for the 9.5
Customer service is the supplier who you bought them from, if you can't buy direct.

In other words, your information may change the wheels on my car.

Just a few RAW cell phone pics, i was bored so might as well put them up.
no filters, no special lighting just natural sun light and a cell phone its a HTC M8 so bare with me lol.

but over all i mainly wanted to show how our department finishes their wheels, is all around face, barrels including outer.
I want to commend MRR for designing and building wheels correctly. Too many companies have let their engineering fall to the way side to be slaves of fashion. Spokes should connect to the drop center that is the strongest lightest way to build a wheel. Any wheel where the drop center is put in the back or the spokes are cut loose/undercut from the drop center are not using basic engineering to give you the lightest strongest wheels.
