I'm just reading this:

Has anyone heard or know this ?

I'm very afraid cause I bought a set of these on ebay.

[E-AT CIVIC]

i have a set of real RNR for 2 years now and never had any problem with these wheels,on the street or at the drag...

[funkmaster]

Yeah I have heard the RNRs are very prone to bends and cracks...
They are awesome looking wheels, especially in the black w/ red lip but they are known as a very fragile wheel.

[RARECRX]

mugen RNR and MUGEN RG are soft cast.. I have had my RG's for awhile with no problems/cracks I wouldnt go hitting any potholes or curbs with them.

[DEIVIONCRX]

if they arnt forged, they probably arnt as strong as the other wheels, but i still dont believe anything i see on HondaTech

[MrDisibility]

I don't give a shit. One of my favorite wheels.

As seen as your post to that thread on HT lol, they look dope no matter how prone they are to bending or cracking.

^^^ exactly..^^^ I doubt under normal driving these will crack Im sure most rims will crack and bend under circumstances other than what they were meant to do. Ive had numerous rims crack/bend from rota, tsw, 5 zigen , ro_ja , due to curbing/potholes/etc... I have took my MUGEN RG's on the worst road ever doing spirited driving (at CRXPO) XIPHER chime in .. filled with huge potholes, unevens etc.. it was bad.. my RG's are still 100% fine.


I will put money most of these comments are by people who are mad because they cant afford the real deal, and want to make themselves feel good about their phony rota or tenzo knockoffs.

I can vouch, etmydst rode them on some pretty HORRABLE road there, no issues!

I'd venture to say that it is caused from them running them as they always seem to, on the bump stops all day long, with MUCH heavier vehicles that we do... They abuse them, and have them on heavy vehicles, nuff said.

i doubt its the rota knock offs, ive only seen one broken rota, taht was a powercoated rim that was on a decitcated track car that went off track

somebody did point out there not forged so that would make them less strong, but theyve been making wheels forever that are not forged so there shouldnt be any problem with them

and yes i agree they look fucking pimp

[1stGenRex]

WEll, i think any wheel is prone to cracking if you go curb hoppin
