Not bad! Funny how much new wheels can really change the look of an already fine Kappa.

I'll post mine later this week. Getting mine installed sometime this week. I need to take some more shots before I change them out.

Details about rims & tires are in my signature below. Rims clean up very easily--no nooks and bolt recesses for brake dust to hide. Nice deep dish rim flange.

Very open look but factory rotors look too small in diameter--crying for 13" slotted rotors. One day someone will come out with a caliper mounting bracket that will relocate the factory caliper so as to accomodate a 13" or so rotor and not have to buy those expensive after market calipers.

Like those Baer EradiSpeed kits for SUV's and full size pickups--large rotors with brackets in one kit.

So why don't we see any 18 x 9 wheels? My top priority is performance, then looks, so I'd like something that could hold 275/40R18's.

Anyone see 18 x 9's anywhere?

Thanks!
Russ

You already know your rims are my fav so far! How did you get them to fit I did a search and did not see the bolt pattern for ours.
