Anyone running MB wheels from Discount Tire?

I've been looking for wheel/tire packages and Discount Tire has some pretty good prices. Does anyone have any experience with the MB Motoring wheels they sell? The offset/backspacing is right and the price seems good but want to hear from anyone that actually has them on our trucks. Good or Bad?

I currently have MB Rockers on my truck, and have had them since 2005.

My only beef with them is I bought the set with a polished finish. I had no problem with them when I lived in South Carolina, but they are a pain to keep clean here in Colorado during the winter. The mag-chloride really eats away the finish.

Other than that, they are good wheels. Pay the extra money to get a set with a better finish, and you'll be happy with them.

The link in my sig has pictures of my truck with the wheels. They look great when they are clean and polished up.

Those are some nice looking wheels. I feel a lot more confident now ordering them knowing that they make a quality wheel. Thank guys. Just have to figure out what size to get.

I know that ideally you'd want 4.5" backspacing but would a 18x9 w/ a 5" backspacing (0 offset) be OK. Its the only BS the 18's come in. Otherwise it looks like I'll have to go with 17's. Thanks for the help.

My father has a set of 16x8" MB Razors on his Duramax 2500 4x4 and has had no issues with them for the 2 years he's had them. He tows and off-roads quite a bit too.
