Katana Wheels And Custom Katana Rims: Racing, Stage, Destiny And Desire

Putting a set of specialty rims is a way to make a hot car look even hotter. The car owner wants people to notice, and one place to show off new rims is at a street racing event. Katana Racing manufactures rims with an emphasis on how they will look screaming down a straightaway.

With wheel names such as Passion and Desire, it is clear some Katana wheels aim to invoke images of the ultimate driving experience.

Other Katana wheels come with short, industrial names such as the GR-4. Katana rims come with a choice five finishes: chrome, silver, gun metal, black and hyper black. Some finishes may not be available with certain Katana varieties. The Stage rims, for example, only come in silver, hyper and black.

Whatever look a racer is going for, customized Katana wheels can satisfy their needs. Size is always a variable, so Katana has prepared different sizes for different rides. Those with bigger vehicles, or just a taste for bigger rims, may want to look at Katana's Azzad wheels. The Azzads are available in 20-, 22- and 24-inch versions, and go from 8.5 to 9.5 inches deep. Katana wheels can accommodate drivers with a taste for something smaller; the Stage rims are available as 17 inches and the KR-5 goes as small as 15 inches. The styles of customized Katana wheels vary from the simple Passion to complex rim designs such as the intricate-looking GR4 and the almost floral appearance of the Azzad wheels.

Customers cannot buy Katana wheels and Katana rims directly from Katana's official website, which keeps company information to a minimum by only including limited model specs and a toll-free phone number. However, there are plenty of online options for buying Katana rims and wheels for a car. Katana is not naming their price, but other dealers are, and often their discounted prices can still get expensive.

Discounted Wheel Warehouse, an online dealer, sells a host of Katana wheels. For four, 18 by 7.5 inch Desire rims, Discounted Wheel Warehouse charges $939. A set of four, 17 by 7-inch Destiny wheels runs $844 on the website. For an additional price, customers looking to completely redo their tire situation can get four tires included in their purchase as well. On the cheaper end, this online dealer has a set of the KR-5 Katana wheels in black for only $744.

Online dealers sell Katana wheels for that sporty look. Whether the customer wants small 15-inch rims or a full two feet of chrome blinding the people about to watch the race, Katana wheels come in varieties to suit any racer.
