Hi All,

I'm Considering these rims from Tirerack.com, but have never heard of them
until now (not that I'm 'in the know' regarding rims...)

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/kazera/kazera.jsp

Anyone have experience or more info about these guys? From the TireRack
blurb, they seem to be a good 'bang-for-your-buck' kind of rim....

Thanks in Advance!

Unless your mind is made up - check the Koseis there and the Rotas at
www.subydude.com
(I'm not in the know either - just make sure the rims are 'hubcentric'
or come with adapters and have the correct offset - probably between
48-53mm or so)

The offset appears to be right. Their 'Subaru' rims that are 7.5 inches wide
have an offset of 48, and the 7 inch wide ones are from 50 - 53...

Tried to Google 'HubCentric', but couldn't find a definitive answer. Would
you (or anyone :]) mind explaining what that means? If the offset is
correct, are they by definition 'hubcentric'?

Thanks!

The hole in the rim where the axle nut cap sticks through is a 'perfect'
fit. The idea being the weight of the car rests there instead of on the
lugnuts. Wheels with a larger diameter hole can be supplied with filler
rings. Probably not a show stopper but that's how it is meant to work.

btw - there are sometimes WRX and STi takeoffs availble on various
forums(www.nasioc.com and www.i-club.com) and ebay as others upgrade
their stock alloys. fyi

Thanks! That makes sense. Guess more research is required re: Kazera rims
