Cr kiwamis 18 by 8.5 38 offset

[Mikeorock]

I think im about to buy these rims.. 1800 plus shipping and handling.. Bronze on black!!! I love the color bronze for these rims..What do you guys think??? Is this size gonna be good enough performance wize??? Probably wont have to do a tire stretch and i hope theyre light enough..
Im dropped an 1 1/2 right now..

You can't ever go wrong with Kiwamis

Super nice wheels. The 8.5 should give you plenty to work with in terms of tire size. A 225/235/245 will fit on there nicely. The only knock on the CRs is the weight. From what I know they are on the heavy side.

These were the only size/weights I could find. So you're probably looking at about 20-21lbs/wheel.

17x8 +47 ~19 lbs

18x9.5 +38 ~23 lbs

I know. I just found out about the weight.. damn,.the bronze looks so nice too.. but the weight... i want that size and concave.. might just go with the tc105n... i love that kiwami design tho

Im having such a hard time deciding which rims to go with

Even though the thread is mostly talking about 17's this thread may help

Really think im gonna buy the wedsport tc105n's 18 by 8.5.. 17 lbs.. Bronze,slight concave... You think that is gonna handle well?? Wide enough for gripping but still handle turns well

[derekfriedrice]

You know the specs on that.. I def want the bronze.. But 18.. Now i see that it may not get the same look on our cars with 18.. No concave??

 

[derekfriedrice]

not sure about the specs on that, it was just on the site as a demo. I think if you're looking for concave though, 17x9+25 might be the best bet because I'm not sure how concave 18x8.5 are going to be

 

[Mikeorock]

Ahhh!!! This is killing me.. Its so hard to find exactly what u want

Have you looked at any Works wheels? They make some similar to that

True the fitment may be tough with 18's...The s2k Im getting has work emotions? and they look similar so that was why I suggested it man. Cant wait to see!
