Heavy but decent looking at a decent price. Also offer staggered fitments in certain styles. If you'd like a set you'll get special forum pricing and will be less than you purchasing through discounttiredirect.com.

I'll look into it, but I need to know specifications. Diameter and width of the wheels please. Also chasis model and number of lugs. I should be able to provide you with the lowest price, but that depends on closeout specials certain companies may have.

Are you autoxing or something? Please tell us your function so we can confirm your potential setup.

The Koseis will work well. Cheap and light.
