Get Blinged Out In KMC Rockstar Wheels
For those fans of aftermarket wheels for their car, truck or SUV it’s a fact that style is second nature to KMC chrome rims. This maker of good-looking and well-built car rims also suffuses its lineup with value throughout, which should be a comfort to those looking to buy a set of wheels while maximizing their investment in today’s shaky economic environment. They’re so well made, in fact, they’ll be sure to be worth their retail price.
KMC rims and wheels come in two main catalog lineups; Lorenzo Forged and the XD Series (it’s divided into three different lines). The XD line is probably the more well-known and common of the two and features a number of truck and SUV applications that are well-known to the market, while not being overly “common” in a bad way. Wheels sizes in this segment go up past 24, and even 26, inches in some cases.
The Lorenzo Forged series of KMC wheels feature what the company calls its “Super Lip Technology, ” which is a trademark of a KMC unit made for a car or truck. These cheap tires are extremely well-detailed and they come in a wide variety of finishes, styles and colors. Both XD and Lorenzo wheels also feature various bolt patterns and functional and decorative lips, all of which help to contribute to their overall look.
KMC also warrants their wheels against structural failure for as long as the original retail purchaser owns them. When it comes to defects in materials, finishes or workmanship the company offers a straightforward and rock-solid one-year warranty, from the original date of purchase. This should also be comforting, especially when one considers the money one will be investing in a set of these wheels or rims.
KMC also offers a number of different categories of wheels for SUV and trucks as well as most any passenger car. The XD series comes in XD Beadlock (for desert or other terrain), which come in 15 to 17-inch applications, and XD SYS (Badlands, Enduro) as well as the previously mentioned regular XD Series of wheels and rims.
The Lorenzo lineup in suffused with uniqueness and style throughout the line. They’re listed in the catalog by their “WL” notation, with some such styles available in 26 inches, which is a quite large wheel that’ll be sure to make a truck or car stand out no matter the environment (street, trail, show etc.)
Current favorites among KMC enthusiasts are a number of styles offered in gloss black finishes, which add a very rich look to most any upmarket (or even standard market) automobile. They might even be said to be a bit menacing looking, but for sure they’re built to last and continue giving a lot of viewing pleasure for years to come. Indeed, KMC as a company seems to specializing in making appealing eye candy out of its wheels.
KMC rockstar wheels aren’t the cheapest aftermarket wheels and tires going these days, though they’re certainly not the most expensive, either. Given their average 250 to 500-dollar retail price, and the fact that they’re so extremely well-built and stylish, most fans of KMC would say they’re worth their asking price. Given all that, it’s hard to see any downside to them when it comes to making just about any car or truck look even better than it did before.
