Broken Kinesis wheel
This wheel was reported to have only been used for four track days. I guess expensive wheels are not always stronger. I always thought they had strong, forged center sections. I'm ordering a set of 17x9.5 Enkei NT03+M's today. Robi reports that they are extremely strong, don't flex and are relatively light. Cheap is good too!
Where did you get that picture from?
I was there that day...
The funny part is that I used to own Kinesis wheels just like those.
You should have seen the wheel well on that GT3.. it was shredded.
I have heard of more Kinesis wheels braking lately... NOT GOOD, specially for something so expensive.

Yeah, I talked with him yesterday and he said he was up in Seattle.
Not my car..... I know another customer of his runs 18x9.5 with 275's... we'll see about the rubbing issue once I get the Hoosiers mounted and wheels on the car.

Oh, and these 18x9.5 NT03's, do they have the same offset that Kozarov's do?

Saw that pic too. Think it was a Viper track day event when/where that happened.

nah,
it was an event put together by lappingdays.com
it was in Pahrump, NV last weekend.
damn car was on the track for a long time cause the owner of the GT3 was 'very' picky about how they put his car up on the long bed trailer....
