Default New Rims: Alleggerita 18" anthracite. Whatcha think>?
The rubber was shot on my Kinesis K28 R's.. So I somehow decided to get new rims as well as shodding her in a set of Bridgestone Potenza S-02 A's.. I was not really sure how "Anthracite" was going to turn out.. (I was actually thinking of running the orange for a color, http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...Orange+Painted but they had to ship it in from Italy and that would have taken months, so I went with the Anthracite.. neal@tirerack.com hooked me up.. (no affiliation) I was never a huge fan of OZ, but after checking the quality and price, ( $390 front, $411 rear) and weight, (17lbs front, 19lbs rear) I'm blown away by the results and overall appearance of these ( value) 18" rims. Unsprung weight is decent and they feel planted. At $1620 for the set.. (I think my Kinesis were that PER rim.. ) these are well worth it.. My Kinesis K28 R'sK28 R's 18" are now for sale. Minty condition.. (see last photos) PM me..

The OZ's look nice, good color choice with the black car. ANy details on the Kinesis? Wheels and tires or just wheels? Price?

I was just looking at those exact wheels on TR and they look great on your car. I've had my current Victor Equipment wheels for 5+ years and it's time for a change. Now I just need the $....

Very nice.

I wish there was a site where I can see what they look like on my Speed Yellow 993. They would contrast nicely in that colour.

One thing, I prefer either 5 or 10 spoke wheels to go with 5 wheel nuts...its an Andreas thing, you know.

That color really works - do they go grey in the sunlight?
