They're asking if you want to pay for their "special" valve stems.

I don't know what the difference is, but maybe coryjames can help answer this one since he has the CR-Kai wheels.

anthonyha

yeah but theres no additional charge for them so im a little lost haha

I sent coryjames a PM to see if he can help you out with an answer since he has the same wheels.

coryjames

mine came with the wheels they are blue and lock

anthonyha

ohh ok yeah they give me an option of blue or red or no valve stems

CIONIDE

Now that's what I call service with a smile. :D

Sounds like you might as well take the valve stems, if they're free, and then decide if you want to keep them or replace them after you see how the color looks.


Thanks Cory.

anthonyha

haha yeah thanks

coryjames

they have nuts to back them up on the back they are really nice i would take them and some lugs

anthonyha

Paint your calipers red, and you'll have the complete package!

anthonyha

haha yeah

anthonyha

ok so if i get an offset of 38 how will it be different from an offset of 43?

CIONIDE

If the wheels are the same size, then the +38mm offset will be 5mm (2/10") closer to the edge of the fender than the +43mm offset.

If you're still talking about both of these wheels in 18x8.5 the other difference is the look of the face of the wheel. The +43 wheels are Flat Face, and the +38 wheels are Semi Concave Face.

anthonyha

yeah still the 18x8.5 so like the middle part of the rim would be deeper?

CIONIDE

Yes, because the spokes curve at a different angle.

Check out this site:

The Matt Gunmetal wheel on the left is flat face, the Matt Gunmetal wheel on the right is semi concave.

anthonyha

ohh ok i like the semi concave

anthonyha

ohh but an offset of 38 would fit?

CIONIDE

iTrader: (1)

Yes they would fit, since you said you would be getting Ksport coilovers.

Here are pictures of NoLimitz' xB. He has 19x8.5" fronts and 19x9.5" rears that are all +38 offset. He is dropped REALLY LOW on Ksport coilovers. His tires are 235/35 front & 245/35 rear.

With 18x8.5 +38 all around, you want 235/40-18 tires.

anthonyha

yeah that mad nice thanks

anthonyha

what if i dont get the ksports would they still fit? im debating on DF's or tein's but idk yet
