If you're gonna get Kenisis rims, make sure you have an arm and a leg's worth of dough, and two, that you get the forged ones.

anyone have any idea of how much of an arm and a leg i'd have to sacrifice? hmmmm......

and i wonder what the difference is between the reverse drop center (k59r) and the k58.

If I remember right, an arm and a leg are worth about $3,000 or so for a set of Kenesis wheels. It might be more or less though. I can't remember off the top of my head. But if you go to www.randdmotorsports.com Dave, the owner is a friend of mine and he deals in Kenesis wheels. As well as buddy club which is what company I'm going through. You should check him out. Best of luck saving up the money for those rims though. Laterz.

Like I said, I could easily be wrong. But check out Dave's webiste. He'll get you anything that he can and he has GREAT prices.

I can't recall but I think they are K58's on the M2. I vaguely recall them being 18's. We just slapped a set of K59R "Cooper" fitments on an FD. HE got some Bronze Andodized Faces. He'll post in the next week or so.



We've offered a pretty damn good deal on these wheels to forum members. Series7, if you're interested and ready I'll do what I can to fit them into your budget. I really want to see more of the custom wheel market out there. I mean we've got some killer fitments for FD's now.

Here are a few pics of the rims Rishie mentioned. Sorry about the size, didn't have time to resize them (~400k each). Also haven't had a chance to shine them up, so they'll look even better once that happens. And did I mention the paint on the car?

Side View - looks like I caught a leaf falling when I snapped the pic
Rear 3/4ish
Close up

The car also has JIC FLT-A2 coilovers on it, and is dropped about .5" in front, and .75" in back.

More later...
