Those wheels look great, never heard of Kodiaks, why those? Light weight? Good price, strong?

Kodiaks are 3-piece custom wheels with all forged parts. They're very light and strong. Price is reasonable for a custom wheel, but not cheap. The only complaint we had was that they took a couple of months to get.

We love them, and so do many other Porsche racers, as well as drivers of other marques. CCW wheels are also very popular with the late-model Porsche and Corvette crowd. They do custom 1 and 3-piece wheels.

Thanks, very inexpensive for a custom forged wheel!!! HRE's aren't custom and they are $1500 a piece! I like the RT design too.

^^^^

The Kodiak's are a great deal when compared to just about any other wheel out there. Their also very, VERY light. The 17x8 with the 225-45-17 Advan was not too much heavier than the 16x7 Fuch with 205-55-16 tire. To top it all off, their customer service is excellent and they will help you figure out exactly what you need.

Today we stopped by our mechanic to say hi and see what's going on. The case, crank, & heads are at their respective machine shops getting their modifications done. Once they return, the engine can start to be built
