Default Ultima Kool Kat Wheels

Has any one purchased or seen the Kool Kat Wheels, imported for Ultima from China......Was told that they are a CNC Billet Aluminum, Polished Wheel...Made on a 5 axis, CNC Machine... Just might have to purchase a set after I do some homework on them...They have a nice price point compared to the Other Name Brand Wheels that we see all the time...Chime in on what you all think of them...AND YES AGAIN ....I KNOW THAT THEY ARE IMPORTS...

My way of thinking is you usually get what you pay for....things are cheep for a reason and if you've ever watched a show on how wheels are CNC'd, you'd know the machine they use is not fast nor cheep - and then there is the whole quality of the material they're using to build the wheel.
If you get a set, keep us posted as to fit & finish

you get what you pay for.... am familiar with Chines manufactures... they will sub out and use the cheapest stuff... methods possible.....no repercussions on them if it goes sideways....now if its made there and strictly controlled and overseen by a USA mother company you stand a much better chance of some quality... of course the cost will go up......its like all the bags , lowers , fairings that are all over Ebay....they say they are made out of ABS , like the OEM stuff... but they are not and its an inferior material...but if you are not familiar with plastics... you would never know....you just would sit and wonder why it broke so easy......if it comes from China...i move on

Ihave just ordered the 21" Manhattan contrast cut and it looks very nice. Now I have to install it on the bike and hope I will like the look just as the wheel on its own. Did a lot of research and they are a little bit the same looking as the RSD Domino's.
