    Some wheels: your opinions please

    I read the MAX Tuning and found some wheels. Tell me your opinions please.

    Dare X3

    ~1600$US wheels with tires

    1000 Miglia EV-S

    ~1750$US wheels with tires

    BK Racing BK238

    ~1700$US wheels with tires

    Privaat Fahren

    ~1100$US wheels only

    Kahn RSR

    ~2000$US wheels only

    Azev Typ PS

    ~2600$US wheels only

    most of the prices were found on british sites and I know they are way overpriced.

    Anyways it gives a good idea.

    What do you think of those wheels?
    I like the privaat look with lips, do you have any other models that are alike?

    Other very nice wheels:

    ~$2500US with tires (used ones cuz they are custom made)


    ~3400$US wheels only

    I am going to have to say the Privaat Fahren's, those are pretty chunky!!

    Hey PNSJI, where did you get the picture of that W202 with the 19's? Do you know that person?

    Pick one that does not weigh over 17lbs per wheel in 17" and 18-19lbs per wheel for a 18" diameter wheel.

    hum, seems pretty loght for a wheel

    I know it's a big loss in performance to have heavy wheels, but the gain in strenght (like on a impact) wouldn't make the difference for the loss of power?

    and also aren't those light wheels like 1500$ a wheel?

    thnx for infos.

    hum, unfortunately most wheels aren't available in sizes to do a staggered setup.

    like the fahren: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...=sizes&index=0

    they have 18x8 offset 40
    but no 18x9 for the rear, neither different offsets.

    I think these are pretty cool... Azev AS.
    Anyone know the price?



    Available in:
    Size Offset in mm
    8 x 17 30 to 45
    9 x 17 30 to 45
    8.5 x 18 30 to 45
    10 x 18 30 to 45

    They don't say the bolt pattern, but say custom fittments are avail, if need be.
