Should I buy a set of Kinesis K58's? Decisions, decisions, decisions...I need advice!
<center><img src="http://www.fancypictures.com/pics/friends/saint/saint22.jpg"></center><p>Here's the scoop. I want a set of aftermarket wheels for my A4 - preferably 18x8's. I've looked at just about every wheel out there, and the only one I REALLLLY like is the Kinesis K58. Strong, light, and better looking on our cars than any other wheel, IMO.
Problem? Price. We're talking close to $3K - and that's without rubber. Ouch. Still, any other wheel on my car, and I'm not going to be as happy. I'm driving a '96 2.8 with only 24K miles, but I've already decided that my car WILL be replaced by an S4 Avant when it finally breathes its last.
What does that mean? It means if I do drop 3 grand, chances are I'll get a pretty long life out of those K58's.
Tell me...am I nuts? Are they worth it? Just look at those things...do wheels get any prettier? And only 20lbs apiece. Drooooool...

i like the kinesis rims better...
looks bigger because of the lack of that "extra" inner chrome lip that the HRE's have. Just my honest opinion...I'd take either of the two if I had the chance!
