For me they are not...... no one in a hundred mile radius from me has these wheels. I don't care if ten thousand people on the West coast have them...... I don't live there!

Besides, isn't the 240 in general starting to become played out?

I'm really hoping you replace the fronts with something wider. Like 9 inches with 245 rubber maybe...
I haven't gotten to do any hard cornering yet. The fronts rub on the liner since they are a lower offset than the previous set. So I need to address that issue before I go and rape on it. Just straight driving though, they actually feel better and lighter in a way. Which makes no sense to me since they are heavier than the Meister's.

So the fact that they rub now, I probably won't be doing 245's up front on 9's. I would have to run wide fenders..... which I wouldn't be too crazy about. But you never know!

Oh, that's for sure... But every make will have it's bandwagon jumpers... The Hyundai Genesis will be the next bandwagoneer ride of choice, just give it a few years.

I personally like the wheels, just starting to see a lot of 240's with them.

You're car is gorgeous, and I really can't talk about played out wheels, because I have 350z tracks. However, I daily my car and I'm not about to throw 2k wheels (not sponsored) under her skirt, to get destroyed by the elements.

Yeah, I really don't mind having the same wheels as other people.... as long as my car has a completely different look with them. Most owners rolling the KF's are all body kitted out etc. Mine is more of a plain, raw look.

On a side note: I do like that Genesis Coupe I see potential in it.

Not sure how I missed this, but it looks great toby! Perfectly executed as always...

(I still haven't gotten that tach to have you do the cluster, I am starting to think they can't actually get it... it has been almost two months, lol.)

I am a firm supporter of "to each his own"

However, you may not want to give it a final verdict until you see whole vehicle shots. It truly is sick!

I've always loved your car, and your attention to form while maintaining the functionality of the car is definitely an inspiration. These wheels are the hotness for sure!

Not a fan of the rim size, but they do look stellar.

Your Stop Tech brakes rebuilt look really good.

just curious, are you running not-very-aggressive wheels up front so you can keep the fender liner?

Never liked these wheels.

They always remind me of overgrown 60's Mustang wheels.
