Default Our Experience with Kustom Wheels For Less

As many of you may have seen, we (Lethal Performance) just finished a big build for a customer which included a set of Forged 360 Mesh 8's. Seeing as how this car had a deadline we entrusted Kustom Wheels For Less to handle our delivery needs. Needless to say, they came through with flying colors! I would HIGHLY suggest doing business with Gerry and the guys at KWFL and I will definitely do business again with them!

Thanks again, Gerry!


-Marco

Yup, it looks VERY nice. I haven't seen anyone else do these wheels in a 20/21 set-up.

Yes I will admit this is was MY first 20/21 setup. We have done a few for the Viper but MY first for the vette community and glad you like it.

We have done at least 10 cars with this setup .............it is a perfect troublefree fitment thanks to Pirelli.

Good service again by Kustom Wheels for Less.

why pirelli? must you run an odd offset or odd tire size?

what are the limits with lowering the car and rubbing with this 20/21....and also gerry - whats the difference in weigh - 20 vs 21, and cost?

Yes with 21 rear we run a 375 rear, hence Pirellis. Usually you run a 345 rear for 20s which you can run, Pirellis, Nittos, Toyos, or Michelin. Cost for 21 rears is of course more. And weight is about 2 lbs heavier for 21's over 20s.

The car has LG Coilovers so the ride quality is outstanding.

Pirelli seems a little smaller both sidewall and width. The 375 also seem to rub a little on the outside edge of the Z's rear quater panels when lowered.

Man I saw Spencer's car and his carbon 360's are top notch! They look nuts in person! The pics look great but until you see the carbon work, you have no clue.

When I finally save up enough money I'm going to hit up Gerry. Keep up the good work Gerry! I make a living off my reputation and it is good to see you holding it down.

I cannot say enough about Gerry's customer service!! Top Rated and the best I've seen.......My next set of wheels for my new car that I just took delivery will be from Gerry for Sure!! The hardest part is deciding on the brand and style of rims.....
