prefer rays engineering ------>> TE 37 or CE28 (lightweight) rather than mugen RIM

They're just wheels!... only the design and weight is different...

If you want durability, quality and lightweight, can't go wrong with either brand.
As for being better... depend on each model.

some rays weighs more than mugen rims depending on design, and some mugen rims are lighter than rays.

I think for 15", TE37 has the best weight, while for 16" MF-10 has the best weight..

I could be wrong though.. never bothered to check with scales.

Are there original Mugen rims at the our market?
I think Mugen is better... coz it's a Honda tuner

 

[Civic-R]

Currently i'm using 17' Rays Eng 57F.I can say is good.Just wanted to change to Mugen rims.

 

[amdfaisal]

mugen vs rays... don't have a chance yet to sample these fine specimens so can only listen to your discussions le. any lobang for affordable rays or mugen ka?

can only afford ASAHI for the time being... heavy le these ASAHI rims of mine

 

[darkemperor]

personal opinion lah....go for rays....they consider specialist on wheels...material of the rim and way of making it is important...forge or cast..?
mugen also can ler...they know what's the best for honda....

It's available..

About 11-13K for new.

about 5.5K used... I think.

 

[mynnDAWG]

for MF-8 last time SS was selling around 3.5K...2nd...

honda owners shouldnt face any probs with Mugen rims but if ya planning to get rays...make sure u get the correct offsets!

 

[bangkai_jk]

wow.. 13k for a set of rims..

 

[shiroitenshi]

a set as in all four.. not a pair.. I always count that way since we don't buy rims in pairs. ROFL!

 

[SnooPDoGGY]

Rays of course...

or...

Advan RG...

or...

Desmond EvoRegamaster...

p/s: the design n weight that matters... if the rims is very very very lightweight but looks like shit... waste money buying la...

Desmond EvoRegamaster is more cheaper rite?

 

[shiroitenshi]

In case you don't know what forged and casted are.

Forged.. they take a lump of alloy and whack it to the shape they want (usually by a huge press).. there's two types of forging, cold forging (they just take material and press it into shape with a hammer/cast without heating) or hot forging, where they heat up (but not the point of turning into a liquid) the material before press in the cast.

Casting.. they melt the metal, then pour it in a cast.. when the thing hardens, it's ready.

When u know the technology and weight btw Ray's and Mugen u will not like Mugen rim anymore. But still it depends on what u like lah.
