These were FREE! Need to get them refinished but updated pics soon! This was just a fit test I did. 17" Katana Racing Type. Not exactly sure of the specs because like I said they were FREE and it seems Katana doesn't make this wheel anymore. Rubber is 215/40R17 Coopers(will upgrade after the Ring rubs these bald

)

Those should polish up nicely once you get that clearcoat off.
It looks like a bend at 5 o clock tho.

aruester · 05-29-2011, 10:35 AM

thanks for taking the time to look! The 'bent spot' is just a cosmetic blemish. It will scrub off with the clear coat. Any suggestions on taking the clear coat off without damaging the rest? I was just going to take them to a guy who will clean, balance/straighten, powder coat them for 75 euro a wheel.

If you are careful you can use some aircraft stripper on the lip area and keep it off the painted parts.
It's best to test a small area first to see if the clear will come off cleanly. If it does you have it made.

aruester · 05-29-2011, 02:13 PM

thanks for the suggestion but the clear is actually flaking on the entire wheel. I think they just need a good media blast. They are going to the shop tomorrow I think. Thankfully Germans don't have Memorial Day!

bB2NER · 05-29-2011, 02:23 PM

At 75 a wheel you might be better off just getting new 17" wheels for slightly more. There are many wheels for 100 and less in 17". Jus sayin.

Finally got rims for my car. Nothing special, but I like em. They're 15x7 et38 ICW's. I got them of a friend for $100.

33OH · 06-05-2011, 09:16 AM

^ Those look good, and great price. Any more pics? :)

coheed · 06-05-2011, 02:54 PM

^ Not right now, but I'll try to grab some in the next couple days.

^ Those look nice Coheed! Actually look alot like my first set of wheels. :)

coheed · 06-08-2011, 02:47 PM

^ Coming from the man whose had, what is it now, 16 sets of wheels? I'll take that as a big compliment.

I wish the offset was more aggressive, but for a hundred dollars I'm not gonna complain.

33OH · 06-09-2011, 09:18 AM

^ 19 sets... :) and try some spacers?

Here's my newest set, 15x6.5 +38 (with 17mm spacer rear, 5mm spacer front) Konig Feather's in gloss black. 185/60/15 Hankook Optimo H727 tires. <3

That's your first set of brand spankin' new isn't it? Probably one of your lightest ever setups as well. Sharp.

Haha, I'm definitely keeping this set. Lighest wheel I could get for the price - no more boat anchors for me.

Wow, I just got the same wheels for my xB. I'll have to see how they look on the Yaris now. I'm thinking pretty hot with the red.
