Does anyone have much experience with Kodiak or CCW wheels? They too offer wheels in the dims I want (the BBS post I put out earlier)... the CCWs were heavier (around 18#-20# he said) whereas the same size Kodiak was much lighter (12#-14#) according to their quote. Both are priced essentially the same so $ isn't the driver in the choice, longevity is.
If the Kodiaks are as good as or better than CCWs I will most certainly take the lighter wheel... but anyone's experiences are appreciated. |

Kodiak makes some really nice wheels, but they have delivery problems right now. I know of a couple people who ordered MONTHS ago, and have yet to get anything. And I also know of someone who wound up with fitment issues after recieving his wheels (not built to spec). It was for a DSR, so spacers and stuff were not an option, really messed with the begining of his season.
If CCW or Fikse are the same price, I might think of going with them. CCW makes some really great wheels. -Josh2 |

Hopefully they don't F up the specs tho', that would suck to have to do the whole send back/reship thing from a PITA standpoint. Fikses are at least $1K more. The CCWs were same price but 5lbs heavier per wheel apparently so I went with Kodiak for that reason. I have a lot of sprung weight on the car (that I will be taking off some of over time and $$) but really want to keep unsprung weight down if at all possible. Fingers crossed.... |

Well, just remember, lighter often tends to be more fragile.... Offs at Pueblo can ding a rim half... I have a set of rediculously light Keizers (9 lbs per wheel, 15x8), but probably won't be taking them to the big track, they're for autox. Untill the budget opens up (in about 20 years... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ), I'll be running the Diamond racing wheels at the big track. -Josh2 |
