New Mugen Wheel !

Looks like Mugen is offering a new wheel based on the design on the Mugen concept Fit from the Tokyo Auto Salon. Appears to be only available in 16x6 in silver and chrome. Sweet design!

Hope more sizes will be offered.

Matt is right; too heavy – highway MPG (rotational mass) may not be affected; however, horsepower (acceleration) might be something to consider, though.

this is what happens when a company is bought by a car manufacturer. they start making parts that please the ceo's rather than the consumers.

Why is it that all Jap manufactures are trying the Euro look?
I like the wheel kinda. If it was flat faced it would look so much better.

I bet those wheels will be 16x6 +45 or +50mm offset.
Ewwwws!

japan has always tried to emulate the euro look. the japanese copy the germans. only difference is that the japanese know when to stop the engineering. germans just keep on going. thats why japanese cars are easier to work on than bmw.
