KRNC wheels - any opinions?

Looking at getting a set of the defiance wheels in black with the 21’ BMW factory specs. A great price, albeit probably not the best quality. Won’t be tracking the car so I’m not too concerned.

What color is your X5, although black will look good with any color. What specs are you planning on getting? The price is good, I ordered a set of 4, 3 PC forged for my Mustang from Variant wheels...and I paid over $2K for just one. Excellent quality tho.

21” x 9.5” et 35 front
21” x 10.5” et ~35 rear
In brushed black

I would prefer a forged wheel vs some flow formed or allow wheel. Happened to stumble on these. I have previously had BBS and signature on vehicles before, but didn’t feel the price point was worth it on an SUV that will never see a track.

Here is the brushed black in a different style:

Just ordered these and they will be sent out to be built in a week or two. While I am sure these are not the best forged wheels I have been super impressed with the customer service:they are very knowledgeable, responsive and patient.

The discount they are running now makes these crazy, set of 4 forged wheels for $2K with custom specs. Additionally, they also have 2 and 3 piece wheel sets available and they are part of the promotion as well.

The one con is that they are only painted, no powdercoat option. With that being said I can get a local shop to powdercoat for ~$600.

I will follow up when I receive them in about 2 months.

Wow. I hope you love these! The price is less than half of what I paid for BC Forged wheels recently. Will be really curious to hear what you think. Maybe I’ll add another set if you love yours.

I just stumbled across KRNC. Reached out regarding weight of a set of wheels I spec'd. For the price they seem decent. If I don't like what I find out, I'll just end up going with BC. They look great though.

One of the owners, Carlos, was personally texting/calling me with answers to questions. Very professional, knowledgeable and when he didn’t know the answer was transparent enough to tell me that and then seek out the answer from his design team. My guess, they are made in the same factory in China as other name brand wheels, just branded with KRNC.

I have a set of nice, expensive, brand new BC Forged wheels that just arrived last week.

I’m working through something with them right now. It’s the sort of situation you hope doesn’t come up, but when it does come up you are glad you paid the more expensive price for a company like BC Forged, so you don’t have to sweat it. I’ll let you know how they handle it.
