good stuff, going to look real nice

[SeanDub]

Nice, its gonna look great!

[Dr.AK]

I love the tire fitment on the front, but imo the back ist just a tad too extreme. 225s or 235s would have looked better, imo.

I'm not much of a fan of these wheels. I don't like Keskins due to various reasons. One of them is that they're fake split knockoffs and another is the quality. I haven't run them myself, but two of my friends have run Keskins for around a year, both of them experienced peeling clear coat in the time they ran them and they bought them new.

But I'm interested to see how they look on the car.

Yea, I was torn between 225 and 215. We'll see how it is once I get them on the car. I couldn't exactly afford to get the real wheels yet, and I got a good deal on these, so I went for it. I'm not too worried about clear peeling, I'm not planning on leaving them like this for long. I've got something up my sleeve for these :devillook

Oh and thanks to Sean and Mike for helping me out tremendously with fitment questions

[Stolzy]

slap those on today!!! thatll be so dope. however, that seems like a lot of strech for those size tires. or is it just me?

I have no idea what you mean by that, so I'm guessing its just you.


Would you expect a 215 to stretch less on a 10" wide wheel? :confused

[Formula E]

Kt1's are so hawt. good choice.

[B Rod]

Nice! Can't wait to see them mounted. Those aren't real 3 piercers?

[Travis]

I love those wheels. Good choice.

[BADwayz]

Hefty stretch indeed, cant wait to see how they look on the car.

[Logan]

Looks great!

I bet the tire shop had a fit!

[mojocoggo]

If you don't have an insanely perfect ride height and offset those are going to look pretty goofy. Can't wait to see them mounted though. :D Those will probably be my next wheels.

[Dr.AK]

No, Keskin has never produced a 3pc wheel. They only produce fake splits.

[schroedin]

:(

[Chris@MemoryFab]

sick shit

[Logan]

No shame in rollin keskins IMO.

[valley325m]

daaaamn...

[danewilson77]

Will most tire places stretch tires or do they bitch about it?

[e36rjbmw]

going to look incredible.

[schroedin]

[Burn535i]

[M.Burroughs]

Sickness!

I've had 1 tell me it was impossible, one tell me it was too unsafe, and finally found one with a cheetah that would do it. It was pretty funny though. He asked me if I knew anybody that's actually done this before with good outcomes, and made me sign a waiver stating that they told me it was unsafe and I wanted it anyways :rofl:

[Geoff.T]

Just put them on already. I want to see how low you can go with that wheel fitment.

That was the 10th. This is the 13th. :shifty :shifty

[SeanDub]

Yea, WTF

[E36Bimmer93]

UPDATE

I finally got around to putting the wheels on and took a few shitty pics before heading up to campus today. looks like I'm gonna have a bit of fender rolling and pulling to do, but nobody in this shithole town has one. So if you have one I can rent/borrow for a day or 2 send me a pm....Anyways, on to the pics. I can still go down a bit on the fronts but my rear is maxed out. Obviously it'll sit lower when the fender isn't completely resting on the tire

[E36Bimmer93]

Thanks guys. It's still definately a work in progress, but it's getting there.
Once again thanks to Mike and Sean for giving fitment help.

Oh and about 70% of responses on BF.c don't like it..... I'll take that as a compliment :alright

[M.Burroughs]

That's because the idiots on BFc ruined it. I've given up on it.
I'm one week post-free on BFc.
