Made in Dubai, huh? That's pretty pimp haha.
On a side note, I had to give their So Cal headquarters a call for something that was work related, and it sounded like Chinese folks on the phone... which makes sense seeing as it is a Taiwan company haha.

HAHA!!

That's my car and what I used to run...Alot of peeps over at lgt.com run the Kyowa rims,..they were ok when I ran them and survived any potholes I encountered in Hawaii. On par with ROTA I think...in fact if it has Japan stamp, Id say that be better than those that dont..I got a great price shipped to Hawaii and why I went with it other than the looks of course...

Sold them and got Silver STI rims,.. SSR Type C's, Advan RGIIs, and now Gold STI rims..

Kyowa? Any problems? 18" wheels are about 18lbs. Not bad for $160 a wheel.
