Default Kazera KZ-A, where to find?

Hello,

I have one Kazera KZ-A 18x9.5 (rear) which I simply can't repair. All the other ones are in good condition.

I googled everything and could not find any Kazera KZA for sale... it seems like they are discontinued.

Is there any company that make exact replicate of them? Or do you know of any place still having them?



Thank you very much for any help...

I think your out of gas... those are LMGT Reps so finding a rep of a rep will be difficult.

I believe the KZ-A were discontinued about 4 years ago. About all you can do is keep looking for a good used wheel.

The design of those wheels are...common.
Those are repro anyway.
Maybe if you are lucky you can find a replacement?

LMGT Reps?

They are original Kazera KZ-A, I have the invoice. I just removed the color on their "Kazera" logo.

Basically I just need a wheel that will look pretty much (or exactly) the same.

They are replicas of Nismo LMGT wheels that are produced by Kazera. They aren't Kazera's original design.

Oh yes, I know that... llike the ASA JH8.

That's okay... I might have a better chance to find the original Nismo LMGT then!

I did not know about "LMGT" though, thanks for the info.

Youll probably want to replace the pair since Im sure the Nismos are lighter. Both rear wheels should be of equal weight. Those are also discontinued and a single wheel is an unlikely find.

I wonder how different is the Rota P45r Hyper-Silver looks different than the KZ-A Silver.

Some guy is selling his 4x KZ-A chrome for a good price, but I just don't think chrome is a good choice.

Try calling Tirerack. They still had some of the KZ-A in the warehouse about a year or so ago when I called them. Never hurts to ask

I actually have a set, but they're curb rashed and are being used as a snow set. No structural damages to the wheels, though.

fronts: 18x8.5 +30
rears: 18x9.5 +35

BTW, these aren't Nismo replicas as many claimed throughout the years. They look pretty similar to the Nismo LMGT-4s, but if you look carefully, the lip, center, spoke size/angle, and offsets are all different.
