So apparently the company that owned them went out of biz. Someone has bought the molds and are back in production now. They are very similar looking to the Moab and can get them for $135 a wheel. 16x8 4.5 BS. Not sure why I wouldn't vs used Moabs and they come in black. Any experience with these wheels?

I have been running Mamba MR1s for a couple of years and they have been great. I have the 16x8s with 255/70 Cooper STTs. They were much easier to get than Moabs are down here, but I still had to import then privately as there was no local distributor. They look great and are very strong. I have run them over some of the toughest tracks in the outback and the Simpson Desert and Cape York - no problems with them at all and they still look like new. Sorry to hear the company is in trouble.

I thought about a set of these wheels myself. I really like the Moabs but cant find any.

Moabs are way stronger
plus the back spacing will mess with you as well
Moabs have 5 inch and even then will have to run more bumpstops in the rear to keep from tearing the flares off

Yes moabs are stronger. forged not cast.

Are mamba's strong? No idea, but not broken one yet and i don't rock crawl. Have done Gravel, trails, snow banks, ice roads, and standard array of pot holes you drive into.

Would i rather have moabs? yes. Good luck finding them in Canada for reasonable cash.
Will the mambas self destruct? no.
Are they identical to size to moabs? Maybe 1 mm different in offset, maybe... Somewhere its says 5.08 on some other place i looked, obviously not with a carpenters tape / bit of wood measurement. Is definitely not 4.5 inches. If anything the net displacement of the wheel is inward compared to moabs.






yes those are 245 75 16 on an 8 inch rim.
