I see the Speedline logos bit the dust.
Ian
Are these the same as the KMS wheels? I have a pic somewhere but will ahve to host in photobucket. They look realy nice though.
Yep Speedline logos gone … took ages to scrape them off
These are Mag Speedlines not the Jap ones.
These are my fav.
Well, looks exactly the same as the TMR painted black…
steve do you know if this is a forged alloy wheel ?
the TMR ones look like they’d work out pretty expensive… not what i had in mind

As he said
RoxTeddy, the TMR wheels are indeed forged alloy, as stated in the subject, otherwise they can’t be that light and still meet the wheel regulations in Japan
KMS wheels is a rebrand of the TMR.
These wheels are not cheap, but the price is probably on par with the Speedlines FOR ME in HK, because I have to pay additional shipping either way. (Hence my comment in the first post)
As above.
Found these on Pinkcore last year. Think there was a group buy or something.
Would consider a spare set if they’re like those ones.
Yes we’ve arranged a few group buys for Japanese forged alloy wheels in past

sorry Hubert… I meant were the KMS ones forged alloy - i knew the TMR ones were… but you just answered that as well
I know these Japanese brands are confusing…I used to get them all mixed up
Here is the reply I had from TMR:

If I read that right, it’s about �1500 for the wheels, plus �220 postage.
If 3-4 of us want them, they’ll be �1275 + postage
If 5 or more, that’s �1200.
I’m also not sure what UK people will need to pay on import duty / VAT. Maybe another 17.5%
So at worst, it could be �1750 + VAT = �2056
Ulp !
Ouch, that stings
hmmm. anyone up for a group buy?

Ulp !
It’ll be even more than that, duty will be 4% then VAT is payable on the landed cost including the duty. I make it about �2135 !!!

Anyone else got a suggestion for a reasonably prices spare set of wheels?
Ones that just bolt on, are black, weigh bugger all and look cool.
