i'm leaning towards the k5's. both are 2piece wheels. dunno the cost yet. anyone know the offset offhand? or weight? strength? i've emailed 1552 design and am awaiting a reply.

They look nice. How light are they compared to the stock wheels that come on the Audi's? Also, where did you find them...online or local to you? Also be sure to put up a pict once they're on....Thanks

1552design.com lists them for sale without price. i emailed them and i'm waiting for a reply. locally? i can probably order them from discount tire or wheel works.

gonna stop by and get some info in a little bit.

you can't order these wheels from anywhere but kinesis dealers, which are few and far between, their wheels are very, and i mean it, very expensive. their made to suit your vehicle, in most cases their ordered specifically for your vehicle from the factory and their magnesium, so keep in mind, you could spent somewhere from 3,000 to 4,000 dollars on a set of 17"s or 18"s without tires. they are really really really expensive wheels, their race caliber. they are really cool looking though. the only place i've ever seen them is on an vw gti vr6 and a porsche 911, the guy who had them on the vr6 had 18"s and they were about 4,500 dollars.

i went to america's tire co (aka www.discounttire.com) earlier and got a qoute. $650(!!!) each for 17x8 38offset 19lb wheel. perfect fit, really really light and they look great. they're definitly "made to suit your vehicle"

225/45/17 rubber ...
wheels w/ bridgestone pp s02 mount etc = $3775
wheels w/ yok avs sport black mount etc = $3646

ya .. theyre fairly expensive .. about $250 more than i wanted to spend. well, i'm tired of looking. i'm gonna buy these dammit. now i have to decide if the extra wet traction on the s02's is worth the extra $130.

In 18x8 they are about 18lbs. Yes, they are light. Yes, they are expensive.

I'm ordering mine through Vortrag Motorsports. Talk to Todd.
