QUOTE(jhadler @ Apr 30 2007, 10:40 AM)  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 Well, I wasn't in a big hurry for the wheels, but yeah, going into month 3 is starting to wear on me. Right at the point of doing a charge-back with my VISA card (they had no problem charging me immediately - that always seems to get done with the utmost haste) and telling them to pound sand. If they didn't have the look I wanted and weren't so light, I would have already done it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) One of those rock and a hard place things - I want 'em but kinda want to say screw them just on principal... |

I am going to run these as is - Kodiak will polish up another half that matches what I have and send it out so I can swap out the nicked one down the road when I change tires again.
In the end, I was surprised as the wheels and tires I removed were about 3-4lbs heavier with tires so in the end I am a little lighter on unsprung weight. What it would take to save 2lbs per wheel right now, frankly, isn't worth it. but yeah Josh, sucks to come in heavier than I thought. However, given how bad Pueblo is maybe I want the thicker (hopefully equating to stronger) wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) the rear tires are wider than before, but same diam, so with a bigger wheel diam 16" v. 15" it was nice to see I still lost some weight. I didn't think that would be the case given the wheel is 18lbs, so that may be very tire dependent right now (I don't recall the wheel weights before). So, if I go to a Hoosier tire, the weight may change again. I dunno. the fronts are barely wider, but smaller in diam, so that was the 4lb difference. The backs had the 3lb difference. |
