- Hey guys, Shawn with custom Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV, on the Youtube got another episode
of Hot N New for ya, its gonna be episode 131,
and we're bringing back the KMC XD Rockstar Three,
so those that don't know, KMC is the maker of XD
who is the maker of the Rockstar, which was so popular
as the Rockstar One they came out with a Rockstar Two,
and this will be the Rockstar Three.
Now it didn't hold the same popularity as the One did
because the One just had like, astronomic numbers,
it was on like every Jeep in America and half
of the Chevy and Ford pickup trucks,
so it got a couple of nicknames that I won't mention,
but it got so popular that people
started kinda hating on it.
They changed it quite a bit by the Three here,
its basically a combination of the One and the Two
and then some new styling, so we will
go through it quick, show you what we've got.
This one is gonna be a 20 inch wheel and its 10 wide,
its their negative 24 offset, you're gonna see
that it's got a step lip.
So its got the first lip here where these blades bolt on,
and then its got another step lip down.
So total lip, if I were to measure both of them,
its your typical just about four inches,
three and probably seven eighths of lip.
But each lip, the first one is right around two inches,
so you've got this two inch lip and then a step,
and then its another inch and seven eighths for the rest
of that, that gives you your three and seven eighths.
So its got a pretty typical depth to it,
but because they've got that big step in there,
and this drop down is pretty significant,
its not just your subtle step lip,
its about an inch and a half drop down on the lip here.
So it doesn't really give you a lipped wheel look.
Now what I've seen guys do is they'll go and remove
all of these blades, all of these blades are plastic
and they're removable, and they'll run it without
the hat for a while just to get a real different look,
because if you can imagine this without all these blades
its just gonna be a one, two, three, four, five spoke wheel
with the five star Rockstar logo in the center
and then a clean lip all the way around
but its still gonna have that step,
because like I said, these are two different levels here.
But I've seen guys do that, so that kinda gets into
the blades, so you'll see its got blades all the way around,
they do make some after market blades you can get
if you wanted to hit us up we could get you a price on them,
I haven't seen a ton of guys running them,
but usually in the bigger sizes go all the way up
to a 22 by 12, so I've seen guys with a 22 by 12
run the big split blades because they like that look,
you can also get them in different colors,
you can get them with the different color star
and all that stuff, so not gonna dive deep into that
but know that you can do that, you can replace this cap,
you can replace this star, and you can replace those blades
with a split style, or you can run these.
The other thing is because these come off,
you can have these painted to match.
So you can remove the different components
and have them painted to match your vehicle.
This is actually all milled and then clear coated
so this has got all the milling marks in it
and then the face here is all milled,
and its gonna have the little milling marks in it
and then clear coated, same thing all the way around here.
So this is all machine all the way around these,
and then this is all machined, all machined,
and machine face, and then they came through with
the black and left the black all the way around here
on the lip of the wheel and the face of the wheel.
You'll see the center cap is covered, sort of.
So its dual drilled, you couldn't run the spikes,
but its open inside of here,
so this is open and exposing the lug nuts.
I would say you can rotate it probably,
depending on what your lug nut pattern is,
but you're still gonna see some of the blank holes
behind there because this is a dual drilled wheel.
So kinda note that, and I'd imagine stuff will get in here,
I don't know how its gonna handle ice and snow.
This is definitely a complex wheel when it comes
to cleaning, you're gonna spend some time cleaning
all of this out and getting inside of here,
getting inside of there, and that may be
some of what's been deterring people.
Not trying to be the downer but anytime you get
a real complex, real mean looking wheel like this with
a lot going on it is going to be more cleaning and more
opportunity for issues with ice and snow and what not.
So the size is gonna come in 17 by eight, 17 by nine,
its gonna come in the 18s, 20 by nine, 20 by 10,
20 by 12, and its gonna go all the way up to a 22 by 12.
So the lip size I would say on the 22 by 12 is gonna get
close to that six inch, so like four inch and two inch
as far as that step lip is concerned, and then its
gonna have the same concept with the removable pieces.
Price wise, because you have such a complex wheel,
obviously you're gonna have to pay for that.
Its got all these allen heads and all the different
drilling components, so its probably, its over 1200 dollars
for a set of four in this 20 by 10 in this finish,
the machine and black finish.
So that 1200 that's probably towards the moderate
to almost high side, I'd call it the moderate side
of the cast wheels, its not quite into the
two piece wheel cost, but its about 20 percent more
than you would see on some of your lower cost cast wheels.
That's gonna be your sizes,
that's gonna be your spec loadings,
I believe that's about it.
So that's gonna be the XD Rockstar Three by KMC.
Peace.
