Guys. Stuck with a dilemma here. Car is Anthracite. Thinking of putting some Kinesis K-58's on with a gloss black center and polished lip. Opinions PLEASE!!!!!
Look here for what the K-58 looks like www.kinesismotorsport.com/K58link.htm
Thanks in advance.
Dave

fast4dr. obviously wheels are a matter of personal taste. i like the kinesis wheels alot, but i like schnitner type IIIs (2 piece) and HRE 545 and 547s better, both 19 inches. i have been looking at both for when my pilot sports need to be replaced.

Steve,
True on the personal preference type deal. Dont know about the HRE, but I know that the AC's are HEAVY. The Kinesis are a fully forged wheel and they only weigh about 19-20 lbs in an 18" application. I am leaning on going 18x10 rear, as well. I was also considering going full polish, but I am starting to think that the gloss black would go VERy nice with the gloss black b pillar trim...decisions, decisions...thanks.
