Motegi discontinued their MR3...all i wanted for my car was 17" White Motegi MR3, and i cant even get them...i've called all across the us searched countless websites, and nothing. IF they even had MR3 it wasnt in white, or it would be white but 18"...Those were teh only thing i wanted for a year or 2, guess i put it off too long....SHIT :angry:

Ya it sucks when rims get discontinued. My rims got discontinued and now I need a replacement. Ill probably jsut buy a new set instead of paying $300 for one when I only payed $500 for the whole set

<span style="color:red">motegi always discontinues their wheels. i have the motegi's ff15. i ran into the same problem where you see something you like and then they discontinue them. the ff15 wheels are discontinued too, but i was lucky enough to find a place that had one set left. i guess it's kinda cool though because if they don't keep selling them, then not too many people will have them. smile.gif</span>

Momo is another rim company that constantly brings out new rims and then discontinues them a year later. I imagine they do it to build up "demand" and exclusivity
