everything off them is cheap and nasty

[mymini007]

I bought my 12s from MWS. The wheels seem fine, but they sent me the wrong ones, I wanted the deepdish ones, that I clicked on the website, when they arrived they are not the deepdish at all, and when I phoned them, I was told that the pictures are just a representation, and because I had fitted them they would not change them. Bloke on the phone was really not helpful, of interested in any way, will not use them again.

i bought some center caps for my GB alloys, they turned up in a set of four, in 3 different sizes! i returned them after they eventually agreed to a refund (claiming its not possible for them to be wrong) but they mysteriously never arrived back at said company....

I knew not to buy from them and had advised Henry not to but theyre what fitted his budget.

..and, sadly therein lies the root of the problem....you always get what you pay for......

wouldnt it be good to see these monkeys on rogue traders lol

I now feel lucky that I got my money back and didn't end up with a set of seats that would last only a week before they fell apart.

My mate almost bought some wheels of them on the Friday. I told him to think about it and go back sat or sun but when he went back on sun they had sold out. He was going to order them at a later date but i will recomend he doesnt now.

You learn something new every day! I didnt spot the difference.... But thats prob becasuse I wasnt looking for it or in the market for new seats so didnt pay attention.

Well, theres always horror stories, which granted there are too many.


I had a set of arches and wheel/tyre combo from them. Arches were a superb fit until I had too cut my arches, which is understandable, wheels and tyres were great. laquer is holding on well.


The only complaint is that the chrome nuts they supllied, the chrome has peeled off. But the wheels were always being taken off my car, so it may have been too over use. I may have just been lucky.

MWS make most of the wheels we see about, "supalites" and the such are their designs to my knowledge.
And huddersfield definitely get some of their stock from there.
I've been up there as i live nearby and havent really had a problem.
They seem nice enough and the only problem i've ever had was the knurling was bad on some Very cheap window wipers.
So really it's just a case of inspecting what you buy.
Most parts are made by one company although the people paying more money will deny this till the end;)

to just correct you on that one, MWS supply fake Mamba Classics, Huddesfield supply Genuine Cobra Clasics.

If you look at the Mamba logo on there seats, the stitching is all wrong and at least 1" off to the right. Me and Andy(from Huddesfield) had a right giggle about this when we noticed it.

Huddesfield without question for wheels, tyres, and interiors

[Sherlock]

Looks unanimous then, keep clear of MWS, I would certainly never go there after hearing of the heating of tyres to fit them!
