My new shoes!!!

[phantom]

they are Kosei 17" K1-TS in gunmetal. weight 14.1lbs each. hope you like them! (cool)

How much? love your car btw.

 

[Redlyne_Speed]

Yep must say those are pretty tight.

I brought them for $600 usd shipped. they are only being used once. 3 wheels are totoally like new (not even a tiny stretch on the surface of the wheel... except from dismounting the tires... there are nicks on the sidewall, and who cares about that part?) only one wheel has a tiny paint crack from the dismounting tire again, about half an inch. I think I can live with that.


love the color and the lightness. now I can really take them with one bare hand.(cool)

They have TWO valve stems?

If you want to fill them up with nitrogen you have to have 2 valves, one to let the air out as the nitrogen displaces it.

those are bad ass! hurry up and put them on your car (pics).

Looks good. are you rolling those for winter or waiting till spring???

They have TWO valve stems?

used in race wheels to monitor tire pressure while inflating to get the most accurate adjustment

 

[uclap5]

looks nice.

though i have to wonder if you weighed them yourself?

Ive read of them being as low at 13.7 and as high as 16.7 lbs. I wish i could get some accurate wheel weights some place.

what benefits do you have with putting nitrogen in your tires?

 

[low_psi]

[andyfatsax]

Nice wheels, good price too.

Suppose to last longer, I think costco uses it now.

 

[KpaBap]

Also it supposedly keeps tire temperatures more stable and lower for longer.

 

[Gbourdon]

I use helium cuz its lighter

Oh yeah. Nice wheels. I wish there were more lazer blue with rims. I dont know what i want to put on my shiszzzz

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]

i wanna see on car

 

[phantom]

thanks guys for the comments! I've weighted the rims on a bathroom scale and it reads 13.5 lbs each. I don't know if that is exact or not but this have to be under 14 lbs, since it is so light as compare to the racing hart!


sorry guys, won't put them on until summer. they are quietly sitting in the basement now.

 

[323CiP5]

i cant wait till summer....i get to bring out all my toys (thumb)
