Default Trying to decide on a 2nd set of wheels..

Its so hard to try and imagine what they'll look like. Anyone that has different wheels would you mind posting a picture with the type wheel you have

Thanks

Got these last week. Fikse 5s. Very light. Have a good website. I think the 24 hours logged over 70,000 miles on their wheels.

The tires are hoosiers.

THE BRAKES are great!!! I keep a close eye on them but I have nothing bad to say. The car has dozens of track days (lapping) and has been on many different tracks (PIR,VIR,Pacific,Fontana). Always have a cool down lap. I will take a picture of the rotor this weekend. They all look new.

Having an arctic silver GT3 myself, with Kinesis K28 (polished lip/black centers) I get a lot of comments on this set up. I have a lot of camber which helps the agressive look, but these wheels really looks great on the low squatting stance of the GT3!
A picture of my car is posted on kinesismotorsports.com website under applications and finishes. I don't think it shows very well, but will be happy to fwd other pics to you if interested.
I have beaten them to death on the track and they still look new. Very happy with my choice!

Default Kinesis K 28

Powder coated black centers look good on a yellow car

Jack, nice! Where did you get those red rear wing spacers and how much did you lower the front end too to make up for the added rear down force? How much did you raise that wing, and can you tell the difference?

Wheels, I'm waiting for a certain Florida co. to start forging a one piece wheel, but I've waited almost too long. Seems like you are happy with your choice, but I think they are too expensive for my liking, aren't they? I've had to cut my track time down so I can wear off the insides of my corsas on the street.

Thanks, Biker 05 silver GT3

I would rather pay $2400 for a set of track wheels as well.....Do you think that CCW will make a set of GT3 wheels for this year? ....

I placed an order with them and they will get back to me with a date...will see
