It’s a fact that today’s buyer of aftermarket wheels and rims is looking for a lot of style but also is looking for a lot of value. This is no surprise, considering the recent economy. Well, it’s a fact that KMC wheels and rims come with style built in, and as far as price goes, one will quickly find that what one might pay for a KMC wheel will be well worth the asking price.
There are two main lines of KMC rims and wheels: XD Series and Lorenzo Forged. The former is probably the more common of the two lineups, though that by no means should imply that any wheel in the KD Series would be cheap or “common” in a negative way. One reason this is so is because XDs are more for the truck enthusiast. This fact is supported by the size of some of these units, which run up past 24 inches.
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 wheels 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.
The company divides its offering among several different categories, including truck/SUV, passenger car and three different types of XD series; XD Enduro Beadlock, for true desert driving and in sizes ranging from 15 inches up to 17 inches, and XD SYS, which feature the Enduro and Badlands lines. There is also the above-mentioned XD Series of general truck/SUV wheels.
In terms of extreme style for wheels going onto a passenger car, it’s hard to find others more stylish than the Lorenzo Forged line, it must be said. Tires in the Lorenzo category are delineated in the catalog by their “WL” designation, and there are a few different styles that can run up to 26 inches in size. This will definitely make any wheel stand out on a car, truck or SUV, to be honest.
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 wheels aren’t cheap, but they’re not exceedingly expensive, either. Still, one should expect to shell out from 250 up to 500 dollars for certain models of wheels, though almost anybody who’s owned them would say they’re well worth the price it’ll take to get them onto one’s vehicle. When one stops to consider aftermarket wheels, it’s pretty hard NOT to consider KMCs for what they bring to the table.
