Hello,
I'm French from Paris.
I'm about to buy a beautiful Kappa coupé 2.0T 20V with original 16" wheels.
I really like to know how to find and buy original 17" wheels (as wonderful Dean's ones) or classical and luxury aftermarket ones (only in 17")?
Also, what is the tire size with this combination (225/45 R17?)?
Thank you very much for your help (phone numbers, addresses, internet sites...)
Best Regards.
THierry
Where to find 17" wheels for Kappa coupé?

Hey Thierry
I can help you with the tire size (225/45 R17).
225 is how wide the tires are in millimeters = 225mm.
45 how tall the tires are from street to alloy. It's measured in % of the thickness = 45% of 225mm = 101,25mm.
R17 => The tires fit on 17" wheels.
Also remember to notifce the "speed-code" on the tires you buy.
V = 240 km/h maximum... W = maximum 270 km/h maximum... and so on.

Hello Thierry,
perhaps you should check out the website of RH wheels, www.ru-alurad.de.
Having read the german article on the wheels for a K SW turbo 20V I think you can find something there.
For instance type AS807555, 8.0x17" ET30 or AS858555, 8,5x18" ET35. But there is more.
But I don't think they come cheap.
Have you noticed the Thesis wheels on the champagne coloured K sedan. That looks great!
I have decided to hold on to the standard wheels on my K coupe 3.0V6. The wheels still look good.
Best regards,
Bob
