    Default New wheels on the Kia

    Just bought some Privat Remember(Yes, I don't care if they are bbs rs replicas). Still have to install front camber bolts. Also, just got my fog lights in from Korea, so they will be on the car in a week or so.

    It looks good, better than before, but a little too much poke as far as the fitment goes.

    The wing kills it. Looks good otherwise.

    Looks good from a distance. I don't mind the poke so much, but it looks like your tires are stretched? If so, that doesn't look as good, but it doesn't look terrible. The wing, surprisingly to me, doesn't look all that bad on this car.

    All in all, what I have to say?

    Change your sig pic to reflect this new look. Immediately! Later, QD.

    Looks great on these!!! Grab up some real RS when you find em....and its 100% perfect. I too think the wing looks good. Maybe a tad lower in the front.

    Car looks great bro..
    I've always loved the Privat (Konig) remembers - just never offered it in a good offset for 4x100
    def. got nice offsets in 5x114 which u have and these look great on the Kia
    Anyone that hates on u for having replicas can buy u the real ones..

    I am saving up to buy some rs, but as for now these will do. I bought these to kind of give me the bbs rs look and debate whether they would look good on a Kia, but I love these rims now lol. Thanks bro

    True, but it's all good. I'll get some bbs rs one day lol. I just put up that they are reps, so people won't comment negatively about them. Thank you bro

    handling is pretty good, as for power its ehhh. Kia could've made the car faster. I wish they made the forte with the optima's motor and turbo.

    The reverse rake is still the only thing holding it back. Fix that, then it will be as close to perfect as it can get on reps.

    What's the specs on wheels/tires? From what I can see, it's not TOO much stretch on the front wheels.

    Thats really not that bad. I had 205/45 on a 9.5 and it was just right. Need to get out and see this thing first hand.

    agreed, doesn't seem bad at all. I'm about to put 215/40's on 8.5" wheels. I thought I was going to be stupid stretched, but I feel better after seeing this.
