What do u think about this rim?
KMC KM820 SS
http://www.streetdreams.org/wheel-fi...ortby=&start=0
its at the bottom.
Looks like a TTM but much deeper lip and its polished stainless not machined. Any thoughts?

Im feeling’em, Its like an 8.5” lip and its polished SS, like the rest of my cars accents - I love the TTM but these, i don’t know...only downside is the 8.5 width. Can prob only slap on a 255, but im not going anywhere fast anyway

When I sold rims, KMC were garbage rims. I doubt that has changed.

You could probably buy American Racing Torque Thrust M's for less and without the gaudy lug nut covers.

balance, finish - overall quality. cheap is cheap for a reason. Things might have changed over the years - but i doubt it.

I wouldn't want to waste money on cheap rims, I've seen rims that leak air when the finish starts to peel. Since you used to sell rims Bonzo, what's your opinion on a good brand for rims? Think Bonspeeds are good for the money?

The rim market has changed a lot since then (10 years) - a lot of new brands. American Racings gave us very few, if any, problems. KMCs were crap, as were Primes. Centerlines never gave us much trouble either.

They do come in your bolt pattern of 5x4.75, just not the correct offset.
Maybe Im losing it...but I dont see it?
