Default Kazera Wheels, anyone have experience?

I was wondering if any of you know anything about Kazera Wheels. They have mid-range priced wheel, about $1200 to 1500 for a set, one-piece wheels. Anyway, just wondering. Thanks for any comments.

That's good info, thanx guys. I am receiving the KZ-A (Chrome) 18 x 8.5 (+30) & 18 x 9.5 (+35), I think those are the offsets. Put the Avon Tech M550, 245/40/18 and 275/40/18, tirerack gave the tires a very great review. However, I don't race my Z anyway. I like to have very spirited driving when the opportunity arises.

KZ-A 18" in Chrome was around $1200 delivered. I think the black and the silver are $400 cheaper. Check it out on TireRack.com

I have the KZ-A's on my Z. I can't say enough good things about them. (same goes for the Avon tires). Excellent value.

Ok, so actually these are on MY Z now. But I have to agree, they are awesome. Makes the car handle way better than it did with the stock 17s. I have the black ones on a white Z.

I will let you know after this weekend. I'm in SF and my new tires and wheels are in the Central Valley waiting for me.

I am also installing new brake pad in front, Hawk Street Pads

I think the weight is posted on the tirerack website. Think 23.4 lbs. 18 X 8.5 and 24.3 lbs for the 18 X 9.5.

I'll post some pics in the next week.

I can see a weekend of total devotion to the Z. First new brakes, then new wheels and tires, then Zaino treatment to the paint.

Then I will take my pics.
