Get the 10's or the LM's. Black centers are real nice... but get 18's.

The Sharkster's Kinesis K18Rs are both functional and good looking.

IMO, the K18Rs are one of the uglier Kinesis designs. It doesn't quite know what it wants to be spokeswise. non-descript.

ryan, functional as in lightweight.

ccws are very popular with the track guys due to their ability to customize widths, offsets and they're pretty lightweight, but for the street, the looks just don't do it. looks like crap

By functional I mean high performance (like your car):

> 19" wheels are all show, no go.... simple.
> Light weight and strong also falls under my definition of functional.

Does anyone know when the 19" BBS LM's will be available in the US? I think I'm gonna go with those.

Any help is appreciated!

Hey Arling:

I'm feeling the trigger on this one....let me know when they can be ordered and what the pricing will be.

I'm gonna go head to head with Rodis for most wheels for the TT.

Profil 10 ... Race Satin finish ... PS2s ... can't wait to get mine. Too bad Fikse's are all custom made and take 5-6 weeks.

Guys... must you all go black? what age are you anyway. that look was out years ago. Unless you're in baltimore I guess. The fikse 10's are the nicest for the price. The best are HRE monobloc but they're 4500.00 where the Fikse are 3800. And, the only tires that won't f..up the diferential in the front are the michelin since theyre only .1 difference in dimentions. that's for the 11.5 and 8.5. Sorry, had to put that in. It's been long enough after 9/11 to stop toning the whole style down anymore... jeez.. remembering everyone wearing black on black and no style.... that's past... new year! Black with silver, but not wheels.. and matt aluminum look or shinyness these days. Heck, I may be posting to some years old statements anyway. sorry,
Richard

Fikse's are great wheels and not over-priced. I have them on my GT2 and they look great, and are WAY lighter than stock. I think for the money they can't be beat.

Those look Great! Cool. I'm waiting for mine to get here, probably 4 weeks. I've already got the Porsche caps from that guy in Ca. for the Fikse. I just like the gold crest in the middle. I also ordered the front lip and the back spolier from Rotech in carbon so I'm really hoping they'll be as quality as I've been led to belive. I still can't figure out how to download any pictures or I would. How the H... do you download pictures on this site?
