This just looks amazing. I was wondering if anyone has purchased the kahn design wheels. If so any handling differences? What about rubbing on the inside of the arch? If anyone has any pictures of their car with the wheels that would also be a great help.

Yep that does look great!!!
I've ordered the Kahn RS-C 1pc at my local wheelshop here in Holland.
My wheelshop has put the responsibility of rubbing or that kinda stuff with the importer of the Kahn wheels!
So if i have any rubs because of the wheels they will take the wheels off and send them back to the importer!!
Maybe something to think about when your planning to buy the wheels at your wheelshop?

Is there any air in those tires, or is it just a strip of thin rubber wrapped around the rim? I don't get why that look is so attractive to people. To each his own, I guess.

when it looks like a strip of rubber, it grabs the pavement better and it's a higher speed rated tire I believe. Toyo has some SWEET "strip of rubber" tires... I personally think this looks great on a small car like the mini...
