Default Kazera KZ-F @ tirerack

Looks like Tirerack came out with some new rims - link below.
They recommend or offer 8.5 fronts and 10.5 rears - will that mess with the VDC? I have Kazera KA-Z now, with 8.5 front and 9.5 rears - work fine. Will the extra inch make a difference to the VDC system or am I worring about nothing?

Correction: They also offer a 9" for the front - so that would be a 1.5" difference.

That looks like another wheel at 50% of the cost.

Nice find.

the rim width won't mess with VDC/TCS...it's the total circumfrance difference (so you need ot find the difference between the radius or diameter)

I had asked them in the past to make the Kazera-A's in a 10.5, that way I could at least reuse one pair, of course, they come out with a new wheel. Bastages.

Next summer...

IMO, these are nice looking wheels for the money.

Here are the RO_JA R2-7s
Kazera KZ-F is a two piece cast wheel
18x10.5 44mm offset Rear 27 lbs
18x9 33mm offset Front 25.5 lbs

Closest RO_JA size to that (quck look!)

Front #3378-1890-514-37 18x9 5x114.3 offset 37 24.3 lbs
Rear #3378-1810-514-40 18x10 5x114.3 offset40 24.9 lbs

So the Kazera is about 3 # heavier in the rear, about a pound in the front.
The RO_JAs are made by Rays two piece cast.
Tire Rack does not list the 18" size of the R2-7s for sale, but they have the 19x10, it's $750.

Looks like about half the price.
BTW, I noticed that TireRack has the KZ-A black ones 18x9.5 @$169 closeout price. Man, thats cheep (second picture).

Those don't look bad at all. Weight kills it though. MUST SEE THESE ON A Z!

The thing I hate about tirerack is their offsets are uber conservative. +44 offset in the rear? Should be +30.

Go to tirerack. They have a application that allows you to see the rims on the Z.

I hate that tirerack wont show you all avalible sizes...they just show you what they think fits the car you plug in.

10.5 rear wont matter. I have Volk LE37Ts 19x8.5" up front and 19x10.5" in the rear. Just make sure the offset is right or you'll be buying wheel spacers soon. I run +22 front and rear offsets.
