american eagles vs MWS
just wondering if anyone can confirm the quality of the two types of wheels.
i have heard from 2 sources that american eagles are the best to get.
apparently midland wheel supplies are a rougher cast wheel (ie less smooth on the surface) and the overall strength of the wheel is lower.
can anyone else out there confirm this from personal experience?

Kim It all comes down to Cost! At the moment, Volkspwer can get the MWS ones quite cheap. To get the Eagle ones landed in Australia, I think Would be
a little more, by the time you pay tax and duty!

wheels
good to meet u today steve
i checked out those wheels on your car (jealously) and they look to be a better finish than the MWS, but i wann see all three lined up.
anyway, i think my next big spend is gonna be a narrowed beam.
wheels can wait

eagles
The eagles are a better finished wheel.
Its all to do with you get what you pay for.
If you wanted 5 spokes and polished I`d be looking at the eagles as the finish is a lot smoother.Still if you pick up a set of others you can still
get them polished.:thumb
