Thanks mate, they look really good!
Where can you get them for, and what kind of price are you talking?

I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help in the $$$ dept. as I'm in Canada. For what it's worth, they cost CDN$180.00 for the 17x7 and a bit over CDN$200.00 for the 17x8.

One more thing, they're heavy as sin.

Here's another shot:

Getting some Kahn lookalikes shouldn't be a problem, I've seen quite a few copies around. No idea what sort of quality they are though.

RS-S it would be for me.

Had a replica set on my vectra, looked amazing. Would look even better on the 2.

What does 8j and 7j mean. I thought you guys were talking about the width of the wheels but i can't find any 8" wide 17" RS-R's

BTW Jim... i was going to buy a full set of Kahn wheels for 1200 with tyres so i doubt the prices on the site are per wheel but i have asked via email so i will let you know.

8J and 7 J etc.. is the width of the alloy i.e the bigger the 'J' the wider the tyre you can fit on the wheel.

Ive seen them selling the RS-R's in sets of 17" on a 7J and 8J rim, and was going to see if they would sell me two of each! Worth a try!

I just meant on their own website. 8" wasn't listed. Could only see 7 and 7.5 for 17" ones.

As for 2 of each, you would be better to get someone else who was interested in the same as you, otherwise they are going to be left with a set of odd alloys. If you had someone who wanted the same as you you would be able to ask them to pair them up for you and send them out to 2 seperate addys.

Well not really sure to be honest but if i was selling alloys to people i would want to sell them in sets of 4. Granted i am not a seller and don't know how it works, whether they are bought singularly or in batches in groups of 4.

Just makes sense to me i guess.

Why not bother?? out of curiosity, what would you do?
