I love these wheels, but I've had trouble finding them in decent sizes in the 4-lug bolt pattern. Anyone know of a good, reliable site where they offer the CR Kai's in the 4-lug bolt pattern.

Thanks

Think before you buy. go 5 lug and get getter sizes. those wheels look sick wider and lower offsets

have you considered xt7 or xd9's???

come in 4 lug and awsome sizes and offsets

Also, the 4 lug that evasive motorsports has has some pretty good sizes

Also, if you guys have some pics of the CR Kai's on some S13's thatd be sweet too, thanks guys

I agree - don't go with 4 lug CR Kais, as the offsets they are offered in don't bring out the beauty of the spoke design, which obviously looks much better with a concave profile (as in the posted picture sin KDashy).

If you want to go 5 lug, get the CR-Kais. If you're staying 4-lug, the XT7 and XD9s offer great offsets and spoke patterns, but IMO aren't as sexy as low-offset CR-Kais.

well put. the kai cr in 4 lug look like they are missing alot. you better start looking into knock offs because they will still look the same, and ****ty

but 5 lug kai cr's are sexy. i thik the best fitment is 17x9 in the front +17 and 18x9.5 +12 in the rear. this can be done with stock fenders and a bit of rolling, and some stretched freaking tires

let me see some pics of the XT7 and XD9s on some S13's I really love the CR Kai's....17 x 8's with a +25mm offset isnt a good size? Cause they offer that size in 4-lug...

17x8+25 is not flush enough. The white hatch posted above has XD9s.

Go with 17x9.5 +17 all around, run either a 225 or 235, and roll your fenders. You'll have to dial up the camber but it will look awesome!

with the kai cr's if they aren't concaved (which the 17x8 +25 aren't) your better off asking somone with down syndrome to pick your wheels

save your money and buy something worth it if your dumping more than $1000

Thanks for the help guys, that would suck spending over $1000 on wheels for them not to look as ssecksy as possible...I love the look of the CR's but I also like the lipped look...does anyone have any suggestions for a nice lipped wheel in that same price range....pref a simple 5-7 spoke design....thanks

Was thinking about it, but they are really played out. I wanted something different, and they don't have the nice offset lip I was looking for if I'm not going with the CR Kai's.

Any more suggestions out there?

Pics...I could look'em up myself, but I wanna see some pics of them on S13's that would be great.

Thanks.

EDIT* Just researched pics and I'm not really a fan of either, NEED more suggestions, open my eyes to some special finds out there. Im dying for a set of wheels.

**DONT FORGET IM 4 LUG. I know that limits my options but w/e.

Check http://www.aspec.com for the emotions. But 4 lug sizes are weak and well, the faces suck in those sizes.
