[SE] Blitz Racing is based in Japan which lengthens the order time. If you’re wondering about sizes and costs… I ordered 17×8 – front and 18×9 – rear. Just the rims would be about $2,500.00. I’m slapping some Yoko AVSS1’s on them with a grand total for rims, tires, balancing, etc. of $3,700.00.
Update 99/01/06 – WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! I would consider only buying Blitz Racing rims if they are in stock [US] or if you are ready for a VERY, VERY long wait. [speaking from experience] I put a set of 17/18’s on order at the end of October [paid in full!] and they still have not arrived! They’ve made promises that have not been kept and I am giving them one last chance to get them in next week.
I had the 17×8 front rims in within a few weeks and was told that I would see the rears at the end of November. Nothing happened in November and the next promise was made to come in the 2nd week of December in a large crate from Japan. The second week of Dec…the crate came in and we were told that they were held up in customs for about a week. The reality was…the 18×9 rears were not on the crate at all!
At this point I got a hold of a direct contact with Blitz in LA who said that they most definately will be in the second week of January and had mentioned that their warehouse/factory system had been changed and I was one of the lucky few who’s order got all screwed up. They did not offer to get them over ASAP for me [air freight] or make any sort of provision to keep me happy even though it is taking 3 months for my rims to come in! So, Blitz, if you’re listening, I hope to God that those rims will be in next week. I WOULD NOT advise any NSX’er ordering Blitz 03’s unless they are definately in stock in the U.S.!
I could not wait at this point if I wanted to. I have been waiting 3 months now and my rear Dunlop SP8000’s are bald worse than track tires. I want the new 18" Blitz rims, but can’t wait now because of the tires. I ordered them through Discount Tire as they were also supplying my Yoko’s, mounting, etc. Discount has been good, but Blitz Racing sucks!

[BC] One of my Forgeline RS rims developed a leak due to a hairline crack in the outer section – a failure mode induced by "cornering forces". It was about 2PSI per day and I was weary of pumping it up every morning so I sent it off to Forgeline for repairs. Repairs consisted of cutting off the outer section and welding a new rim onto the old forged center. A complicating factor was the custom paint on the wheel which needed to be matched (a metallic gray like the 94 seven spoke NSX rims). I got my wheel back last week and it is perfect in every respect. So what is the point of this tale, you ask? Well, this was all done for free by Forgeline. They repaired my nearly three year old wheel purchased indirectly through a distributor with no questions asked. "Just ship it to us, we’ll take care of it". Talk about standing behind a product. Great customer support.
[HM] I couldn’t agree more. (I own 8 Forgeline wheels) Steve Schardt (owner) was in my car at NSXPO when I went off road and damaged two wheels. I sent him the bad wheels which he took the inside centers and welded to new rims. No charge. Great people, great products, great track instructor.

[AVE – 99/10/19] The only direct importer of those wheels in to the US is Dazz Motorsports in LA. Be patient. I bent a front 16" Racing Hart Type C rim on my NSX, and it took six months to order another one from Japan. |

Kinesis

[Info from Kinesis] "The forging process used to create K5, K10, K20, K58 and K28 centers produces a radial grain structure in the same direction as operating stresses. After forging, the centers are heat treated, aged, C.N.C. machined, shot peened and hard anodized. All Kinesis wheels are made to order. This means that the center and both rim sections (available in half inch increments) are assembled to meet the exact requirements for your application.. They are spun by computer operated, numerically controlled machines over tooling mandrels specifically designed for each rim size. They are unsurpassed for trueness and consistency in thickness at all critical points.
Each outer rim is polished to a brilliant chrome like finish. Each wheel is assembled with forty black nickel plated aircraft quality bolts which are installed and torqued by hand. Each wheel is then put on a test stand and checked for trueness before being sealed with high quality silicone."
[DBE – 2001/1/3] I ordered a set of [Kinesis] wheels for my NSX and was told they would arrive in four weeks. Four weeks later, I was told they would arrive in two weeks. Two weeks later they told me they had finished the centers and just needed to bolt on the rims. A week later they told me they had just finished the centers and were about to bolt on the rims. A week later they told me they had just finished the centers and were about to bolt on the rims. A week later…………well, you get the picture. The lies went on for several months and I finally cancelled with them and ordered Simmons wheels instead. Anyone who is thinking of getting Kinesis wheels should be prepared for a very long wait and copious excuses.

Magnesium rim with outstanding rigidity plus the advantages of being very light. Available in all colours, even with paint to sample. Rear 10X18 � 1.472.000 / Front 8X17 � 1.240.000 / Rear 8.5X 17 � 1.300.000 / Front 7X16 � 1.150.000 (prices in Italian Lira and do not include shipping) |
[STH] I just received my Motor Mail magnesium rims 17"x8" fronts and 18"x10" in the rear and they fit perfectly. Much better than the Forgelines that I had on the car before. The offsets are 44 mm for the fronts and 47 mm for the rear. With 225/35/17 and 255/35/18 S02 Pole Position tires, I have no problem with tire rub and with the looks of it, I could have gone *much* wider in the rear. However, I felt that my car was not putting out enough HP/torque for it to really improve performance by going any wider. |
