I had a set of Kahn RSS 18s a long time ago when they were still available in the US.
I loved those wheels and I wish I still had them. I lost them to a pothole. I wouldn't say they were weak because it was a pretty big hole that I hit at about 60 MPH. I loved the finish on those wheels but that was supposedly the problem with bringing them to the US. The finish was done using a chemical that is illegal in the US so getting them refinished would be difficult in the US. They were relatively cheap (~$350/wheel) when I bought them so I thought they were a pretty good deal. When I called Kahn to try to get a replacement direct from Europe either the price had jumped or the US distributor was selling them much cheaper because I was quoted over $500/wheel. If you can get them cheap, I'd say go for it.
Here's a pic of my car when I had them.

Ah thanks a lot for the info but i live in Europe so i beleive i will not have an issue. I had a set of 18s Kahn RSV on my MINI cooper s and they were stunning!!! so good quality and finish, so now that i bought a 03 A4 cab i want to upgrade to 18s from 17s that it has now.
The alloys that the ar has now are some AUDI ones that the audi allroad has on it, it looks like a double wheel i dont know waht their name is. Can anyone know?
