    That is a pretty scarey wheel. You were very luck not to have had that wheel fail completely while on track. YIKES! :eek6:

    I don't see that anyone's mentioned Breyton yet. They have their GTS-R for the MINI now too.

    I love my Kosei's. Never had a problem with them and they are only 14 lbs!

    I'm pretty sure most of their wheels are produced by BBS.

    That happened at about 90 in a left hand up hill turn. (Turn 7 at TWS going CCW). If it had failed completely it would of been one fun ride.

    OK since you have listed almost all the wheels, what about TSW ?

    They look good and are not cheap, but what does everyone think ?

    Heavy. Very heavy wheels. A quick scan didn't show any 17" wheels under 20 lbs.

    I would add Jongbloed to the list. I have two sets of new Kodiaks (17 x 8 et 40) if anyone is interested and doesn't want to wait a year.

    YES! Jongbloeds are amoung the very best! We use them on the GT1 car (see my sig). He bugged out for a while, but I think he is back or he sold it to someone else.
    As far as Beaner's Kodiaks... someone NEEDS to by those. They are sweet wheels! :Thumbsup:

    Thanks Greg. The wheels are sweet, as you know. I just need to sell them to get more Jongbloeds in the correct size.

    TSW, the brand (not Texas SpeedWorks)? Not very high....same quality as most cheaper stuff out there.
