I am looking for 17 and 18" 5 spoke rims similar to those sold by Mille Miglia as M11's, M11-2's or M11+'s. Even something similar to those worn by corvettes... Nobody makes these in 5x100, so I don't know of any?


M11-2's


C5's

Somebody does still sell MM-11's, and I think they still have them in 5x100. I'll try to find the place. In the meantime, I have a set exactly like your top picture, 5x100 on my Fiero right now. Some curb rash, but not bent as far as I can tell driving at up to 100mph. I might be persuaded to part with them for the right price.

Here's one online store that has them. A little 'spensive tho, but better than other places that still have them as they're discontinued. It took me forever to find a set in the right bolt pattern

If you're intersted in mine, I can get some pictures so you can make an offer based on the condition. All 4 are 17"

Tirerack.com has MM11-2 in the same silver and bright silver satin, a couple of sizes, dunno what bolt pattern. They also have MM11-3's that fit a Pontiac Vibe, which is the same 5x100 bolt pattern because it's on a Toyota chassis, dunno what offset/backspacing

Thanks for the link. Problem is, I *really* like the 17" front/18" rear combo. I think having the same size on both doesn't quite look right. But see that's the problem, even your site doesn't have 18"ers. I'm not sure if they ever even made them in 18".

If I find a good deal on 18" ones, maybe we could trade 2?

I was looking for the same style rims myself. I eventually bought some MSR 190s. Closest thing to the vette rims I could find in my price range. They are 17x7 with 40 mm offset.

That's the exact MM II combo I have on my Formula, but if you're looking for bolt on, I believe you're out of luck.

Back a few years ago when I was looking, the MM II's weren't available in 18" sizes with a 5x100. At least not in a width or offset that was usable on the rear of the Fiero.

Fronts were no problem as bolt on 5x100's were available, but for the rears I ended up having to change the bolt pattern in the rear to 5x4.5

Do you know if they even make 18" in 5x4.5 still?

I was told that the entire MM II line has been discontinued. I got mine at a great price because they were "on clearance".

Bottom line is I'm sure there's NOS still out there, but I don't think they're making new anymore.

Boy... I'm just full of good news, huh? -Bruce

Those prices are in Canadian dollars, so they're not too expensive ;-)
Dunno how bad shipping would be though..

Ryan, did you check tire rack? They have a lot of nice 5-spoke designs.

If anyone has 18's for sale or can find some, yes I'd be willing to make a deal. I want two 18's!!

Also yes, MM11 + are out of production and getting hard to find in good condition.

Chris, those wheels look great! I would like to see a larger photo of the side of your car so that I could look at the wheel well gaps.

What size rubber do you have on them? Is your car lowered?

Thanks,

Kenton
