Apologies if it's been asked before but does anyone know where you can get MB Racing splits from nowadays? Or does anyone have some for sale?

Some on eBay

Saw those cheers, looking to see if there's any others around or if they can be bought new.

I'm always told they still make and sell them, but also heard stories of having to pester and beg to get them, no idea how true either of those are these days though.

I owned a set last year.

They are made/were made about 5 miles away from me, when I owned the wheels I needed some parts and considered stopping by their unit but after hearing so many things about them online I didn't.

The chap I sold them to said that he personally knew the owner (mark maybe it was, can't remember) and he said that he is still trading but not so much in the production of wheels. He said to me at the time in regards to asking about buying more wheels "yes I can make them, but you will be waiting a long time"

How much of that is true I don't know. I really wish I could get another set of MB's.

I don't think the MB's look as good as any of the Force variants. Even if they were in full production, could still see 90% going for Force

I dunno man, faced with the two I would go for the MB's having owned both MB's and force splits.

I guess it comes down to preference, either way there is no denying both the MB and force splits are bloody exceptional, especially some of the really bespoke centre lock items, they are just divine!

The Chap wants £875 for the MB's on EBay.

For me none of the Force wheels look as good as the MB wheels

Yeah at £650 I would probably buy them.

Last year for a complete set of 5 in 6.5 with 2 spare 6.5 dishes and a complete set of dishes to build the wheels up as 7J cost me £400.

[megamini_jb]

Mind you, they ended at £830 when previously listed!

I personally wouldn't pay more than £500 for them, but I prefer my Force ones anyway.

Think I'd prefer 6.5' s as the 7 s on ebay look a bit stretched on the tyre front with 165' s. I guess you can't go any bigger than 165?

[Moon'ed]

Hoping that force racing will be at mitp so I can get a closer look. Maybe it could change my mind..

[Tomm]

Force racing were at L2B. Some of those wheels are insane!

There was a lovely looking competition. Car up at IMM this weekend on MB Splits. Will upload some photos soon.

[megamini_jb]

£950 for them MBs on ebay! Each to their own, but I don't think they're worth that. Probably see them back on soon
