Do you notice the center cap area difference?

I'm sure they are made from champion as seller told me.

he told me that he also has 03 turbo x50. was going to put it on his car but decided to keep it stock.

so I think he should know what kinesis and champion are.

he said its a new wheel from champion, maybe it is that we haven't heard yet.

he seemed to know about wheels pretty much.

I'll post installed picture and weight friday or saturday.

Well I asked this seller again and he told me kinesis quality is nowhere close to champion wheels.

So I just decided to believe him.
Don't believe everything you hear. Kinesis are top notch wheels.

I will keep that in my mind. and I kinda knew Kinesis are top notch wheels but I don't think he is lying that it's from champion and not all the companies can make 19" wheels that light. am I right?

why?

anyways, it could be Champion's new design as F110 is actually made in Japan. Kinesis just exclusive of the design for the time being. it does not surprise me. however, no matter where the wheels are coming from both Champion & Kinesis are great company & will stand behind thier product.

Regardless, it's a great looking wheel (I obviously am biased) and I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.

they clearly look like two different wheels from different manufacturers... look at the center of ones he just purchased vs. the f110s. the f110s have a 90 degree lip around the bolts whereas these wheels have a curved rise around the bolts.. does anyone else notice this, or is it just me...


also, it may just be coincidental, but the wheels are being sold in miami, FL, very close to where champion motorsport is located.

P.S. damn, i really want these wheels for my m3,
