Thinking of getting these..............

They are pretty nice...

Then again not my kind of choice... to "bold"
Sorry...

But I don't know how they look underneath your nice Type-R!
Are there any pics of that?

Unknownsoldier · 22nd May 2008, 09:46

Rich I'm guessing that's project Kahn, the guys who the fab range rovers etc.???

I like them and they would look best on a NHB, but equally on a red car

Khan's tend to be cheap alloy, there's a good chance they will buckle. I would look for a better brand such as OZ.

Rich 11 · 22nd May 2008, 11:18

Cheap........what at £1k per corner I don't think so. I have Khans on another car and the alloy is very good quality.

Never said the wheels were cheap I said the alloy was cheap. They source a lot of their wheels from the Far East and label them Khan. A lot of them are designed for markets with nice smooth roads and where the environment may not be harsh - no gritting etc.

Sorry don't agree the alloys i already have have survived 2 winters now and not a sign of any wear. The alloy the use is UK not from overseas

Khan do the best lookin alloy i have ever seen on a Mini, as for these ones no for me.

Unknownsoldier · 23rd May 2008, 09:25

They look very similar the Golf GTI wheels, which I actually like.

i love some of the Kahn design alloys but i dont think that particular style would best suit the Civic i think the multi spoke design of the RSV's would look better.

I had Kahn 19's on my last civic but found they buckled very easily. After 2 years and after purchasing a spare alloy, I ended up selling them as they were constantly getting fixed. As for looks, there aren't much nicer out there!

illegalhunter · 24th May 2008, 06:42

I like them multi spokes better

Rich 11 · 26th May 2008, 11:41

Cheers guys very constructive comments..............not sure now might go for the Rage alloys after all that

Bungle · 26th May 2008, 12:44

I don't like the wheel in the first post at all. They are no nicer than the standard 16"s from the SE or ES models. Certainly not worth that much £!!!!!!

Of all the wheels I've seen on the civic, the Storm or Rage wheels are by far the nicest.

I have also heard that the Khan alloys are poorly made/cheap materials and that a pot-hole can badly buckle them.

Khan is not cheap, it´s really very good...a lot better than OZ that has factories all arround the world...

This is my civic...on khan 18x8
