These were FREE! Need to get them refinished but updated pics soon! This was just a fit test I did. 17" Katana Racing Type. Not exactly sure of the specs because like I said they were FREE and it seems Katana doesn't make this wheel anymore. Rubber is 215/40R17 Coopers(will upgrade after the Ring rubs these bald )

Those should polish up nicely once you get that clearcoat off.
It looks like a bend at 5 o clock tho. |

thanks for taking the time to look! The 'bent spot' is just a cosmetic blemish. It will scrub off with the clear coat. Any suggestions on taking the clear coat off without damaging the rest? I was just going to take them to a guy who will clean, balance/straighten, powder coat them for 75 euro a wheel.

If you are careful you can use some aircraft stripper on the lip area and keep it off the painted parts.
It's best to test a small area first to see if the clear will come off cleanly. If it does you have it made. |

thanks for the suggestion but the clear is actually flaking on the entire wheel. I think they just need a good media blast. They are going to the shop tomorrow I think. Thankfully Germans don't have Memorial Day!

At 75 a wheel you might be better off just getting new 17" wheels for slightly more. There are many wheels for 100 and less in 17". Jus sayin.

^ Coming from the man whose had, what is it now, 16 sets of wheels? I'll take that as a big compliment.
I wish the offset was more aggressive, but for a hundred dollars I'm not gonna complain.

That's your first set of brand spankin' new isn't it? Probably one of your lightest ever setups as well. Sharp.
