Default What do you think of these rims

Well Im getting a couple things done on my car right now: limo tint on all windows, front and rear bumpers repainted and installing an HID kit so I figured I might as well buy myself a new set of rims aswell

Ive always love deep dish style rims with black spokes with a polished aluminum edge and I went to my local tire store and I priced out these rims. The brand is "Klasse" rims and the model is "euro mesh", Im pretty sure theyre just a cheap brand that exclusive to Kal tire but nonetheless they are pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The dealer quoted me at $920 CDN for all 4 rims taxes in and installed. I know this a cheap rim but honestly at the moment Im not looking at spending $400 per rim, I just want a decent rim that will last. I will not be driving them in the winter and I do avoid potholes at all costs.

I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this company or knows anything about these rims. Ive done some research but not much comes up as far as ratings and reviews. The guys at the dealer said theyve never had any problems with these rims before, although I am also a salesman and I lie everyday at work haha. So what do you guys think?

not bad for that price, but i would recomend you to save that money to get a better set of wheels(around that price) Vossen or Linea corse

i would go with a some kind of 5 star staggered rims with a nice offset.. im running 9.5 in the front with 245/40/18 and 10" 43 ofsett on the back with 285/35/18.. if i could do it over i would go with 9 in the front and 9.5 in the back bc my rims are so wide i have to put a spacer on my eibaks springs on the back bc of tire rubbing on the old tires and i am scared to f up my new ones.. if heard about cutting the inside of the wheel well to make them fit but i like how it sits for now untill i redo my suspention this winter..this is my 2cents but go 5star and staggered.. l8T

There's nothing wrong with stocks, save your money for something better.

Shop wisely and you can look for a used set. Calvin is selling his for $2,600. Black and really nice 18"
