The four K-1s I got had to be shipped from two different Tire Rack locations in order for me to get the four. They even staggered the shipping dates for me so that they would arrive at Gingerman at the same time so that I could put them on when I got there from Toronto. They were 17 x 7.5 and I run Victoracer 225 45 17. from what I remember they were a closeout deal.

The lightest non-custom offering's in our bolt pattern are the Centerline RPM(13.5 lbs, yet I've heard lighter when weighed in person), and the Weld Racelite RS-11.7 lbs. Both wheels are in the $275-$350 range for a 17".... 2002 ZO6...462whp/410wtq pretty darn fast!11.70 @ 122 silver/black 2006 Trailblazer SS(wifes car) silver/black 2000 SVT-Turbo-sold silver/blue #1699/2150 13.83 @ 102.82 on 5psi 13.51 @ 107.56 on 8psi

I guess that's not TOO bad. Ooops, forgot to say what brand. I ordered Team Dynamics - if everything goes right I'll be the only person in North America with them on my car. For at least a week anyway... Last edited by chknhwk; 05/02/04 07:38 PM. Now owner of 0 SVT's. my web page

I got mine used, so I don't know what they run new, but probably $300-$350 per wheel. 1999 Blk/Tan CSVT #654 - SOLD 2003 Suzuki SV650s

Centerline Storm ps you can see the impulse rims over at www.ctamotorsports.com under the project SVT section Last edited by CHF_Slapaho; 05/03/04 10:37 PM. Eric - 2000 SVT Contour #1697

Chris Wong at CTA Motorsports had them on his project car for a while, but had problems with the balance. Luckily, I have not had any of the issues he had. 1999 Blk/Tan CSVT #654 - SOLD 2003 Suzuki SV650s

But they do have blanks that they can custom drill -- for a price. I'd go for the ATS Comp Lites. Whirling dervish of FFOG.
