One wheel center disc of the new KLEEMANN wheel, is made out of 38 KG of billet alloy, which is forged in to a shape of a Swiss cheese.
Here after the disc is CNC mashined on a 5 axes mashine, hand polished, glas plasted, diamond polished on the front and clear coated, before it's fittted with the 2 rim parts.

Best of all, the wheels have direction, which means there is a left and a right side wheel, so they move out the air from under the car thru the brakes, creating down force and brake cooling.

They will come in :

8,5-9-9,5-10-10,5-11-11,5-12 x 19 .
9-9,5-10-10,5-11-11,5-12 x 20 .

All wheels come with a adapter system so all kind of ET's can be made to customers satisfaction.

Lucas, any idea if they are available for sale already? And any idea how much will they cost? Lets say 8.5x19 and 9.5x19.

I hope they are not like the Carlsson 1/16 where the wheels have been posted on the Carlsson website for over a year now and still no one can buy them!!!

Thanks!!!

Yes, did you thing it was four 20" incl. tires ????

Read above and see how they are produced, then it should be quite clear that this new wheel not just is another set of casted junck.
