I sent my stock rim to Kosman Specialties and they converted it from the stock 15" to a 17" rim so I now run radials front and back. I still love it and would do it again.

You should get in touch with Fred (aka wildweasel) He has done some really nice conversions. Not sure if he has the time but he defitely has the ability. Shipping to him would be cheaper than the US.

what's the price for this?, all it shows is the order form with "call for pricing".

I paid $800 including shipping 2 years ago. But the best option is to call them.

I'll give you that they're probably one of the lightest, but I'd disagree with your statement that they're the best looking.

I just had Kosman do a rear wheel for me too, it was about $700 plus shipping... They no longer do 17" wheels though and all their wheels are weld up now, I had them do a 18"x6" for mine but with the Shinko Verge 200/50-18 it's about 7lbs heavier than my stock wheel with the 170 Shinko on it :-( Being across the pond I'd highly advise to to hook up with weasel, from the looks of things on his posts the work looks top notch and he is a genuinely nice guy that helps alot of people on here..
