Opinoin on these rims (old schoool look)
I am considering getting a set of these. Have any of you heard of any one using a set. The company is called Kodiak racing wheels. They are all billet and hand assembled. Im looking at a set like 13inch by 8-10 wide with super deep offset. Do you guys like the lookds of these? I really like the ones with the smi red inner mag but i also like the gold star ones on the front page. I would probably get my centers in black though. Opions wanted.

hey I like 'em!
are these going on the REPU in the Sig, or a different vehicle? You're gonna have some hella fenders if you're going for 8-10" wheels aren't ya?
Rishe, last I checked, most of the bigwig custom wheels comapnies (like CCW) don't really offer crap in 13"

are about the only spot we've found...

I've seen these wheels many times in person. They're really more a racing wheel than bling, bling factor. Personally, I think there are better looking wheels for the price. I will vouch that they are probably the lightest forged wheel you can buy for that price range. Guestimating 1-2 lbs lighter than an equivalent CCW wheel. But, I'd still go for some CCW's before the Kodiaks. Slightly cheaper and better looking, IMHO.
Plus, what WIDE-*** tire do you need for 13" wheels????? 335's or something?

Really nice, not bad price either.
I didn't see a section for bolt patterns though.

Are you looking to buy them for track only duty or for street driving? I am pretty sure that Kodiak wheels are race only. And like most race only wheels they probalby will not have what I was told is called a "DOT bead" on the inside lip of the wheel.
Personally I think they are ugly but if you are using them on the track just to go fast then looks should not matter.

Thanks for the input, I will use them some on the street, I like in a semi rural area and i can get away with running slicks on the street. People told me that you cant run a PP on the street too, but i do any ways. thanks though for the opinoin.
