Kodiak racing wheels.

Looking at wheels for the race car. What do you guys think of these?

[vrinner]

What size/offset you thinking about?

Undecided. I've requested some advice from Maximum Motorsports on what they run. I'd like to get some 10 inchers under there but it depends on how much I can flare the fenders. Pat in LA found something on how to flare the fenders with some minor cutting and filling.

I like the 2nd choice up there, but isn't that a bit much of bling for you?

[Eyelawdoc]

My vote is for the 5 spoke design if the fit and weight are right.

My vote is 5 spoke,,,,,,,,,,

[Rob Hughes]

Cha-ching bling bling....both look bad assed. Can't wait to see them on your car..

[NsTyFoX]

Damn the the 5 spoke ones are mean as hell looking

[CFARRELL]

I think the 5 spoke are more of a classic look for the mustang

As long as the wheels are strong enough. After a few years of street driving on Weld Pro-Stars I realized that they should be a strip only wheel. Glad I never used them on a roadcourse type track.

These wheels are supposed to be racing wheels. I checked out their web site and it looks like they are geared towards the racing crowd. They are pretty pricey.

I like the 5 spoke ones, but it seems like they are getting a little over-done lately.. if the weights are close I say be different & get the second ones that you posted.. They have a different look, & I like to be different!!

I was looking into these wheels instead of Kodiaks:

Fikse wheels are on the FRPP FR500C Mustang

Racing in a straight line only. They do flex quite a bit in the turns. Enough to crack the spokes just after the inner hub reinforcments on mine. I had them for almost 7 years, two cars and almost 30k miles so they were certainly out of warranty. I still have one of them in the garage if you'd like pics of the cracks. When I get back from Iraq that is.

I like the 2nd choice as 'everyone' has a set of 5 spokes out there. Dare to be different. Prices are not cheap, but not ridiculous though for a forged 3 piece wheel.

I have been looking at the Motegi Trak-Lite 2's, since for the 17x8 are only 14.5 lbs each. That has to be lighter than my current 94 Cobra wheels.

Which ones are you talking about the Kodiaks are road race wheels......hardcore road race wheels...at that.
