{"product_id":"kg1-forged-kala-8-lug-8x180","title":"KG1 Forged KALA - 8 LUG","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you hold the KALA in person, the first thing you notice is how clean the spoke geometry is — no unnecessary webbing, no fussy secondary cuts, just a direct, aggressive face that reads well at 26 inches without feeling overdone. The spokes taper toward the barrel in a way that gives the wheel visual depth, so it doesn't sit flat against the fender like a dinner plate. On a Polished finish at this diameter, light wraps around each spoke face and bounces differently depending on the angle, which means the wheel looks different parked versus rolling. White, black, and dark metallic truck bodies all work here — white amplifies the contrast, while darker colors let the polish do the talking without competing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter x Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26\" x 12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBolt Pattern\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8x180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOffset\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eET-44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHub Bore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e124.30mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePOLISHED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKC004261288PS-R A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel runs the 8x180 bolt pattern, which covers a range of half-ton trucks and SUVs depending on hub bore and offset. ET-44mm offset is typical for stock-height fitments; leveled and lifted trucks may want different offset\/backspacing combinations to clear larger tires. A hub-centric ring is recommended when the wheel hub bore is larger than the vehicle hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the POLISHED Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKG1 Forged\u003c\/strong\u003e focuses exclusively on forged aluminum construction, which keeps their engineering attention narrow and their quality control tight. Forging compresses the grain structure of the aluminum, producing a wheel that's measurably stronger and lighter than a comparable cast piece at the same diameter. That matters on a 26-inch, 12-wide wheel where rotational mass is already working against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout KG1 Forged\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKG1 Forged produces wheels distributed nationally through trusted vendor channels.

The \u003cstrong\u003e8x180 bolt pattern and -44mm offset\u003c\/strong\u003e are the critical numbers — confirm both against your specific build before ordering. A tire fitment check on the 26x12 size is also worth doing if your truck runs a leveling kit or lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo lug nuts come included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLug nuts are not included with the wheel. For a forged wheel at this size you'll want a quality open-end or spline-drive lug nut rated for the load capacity of your HD truck — don't pull a set from a light-duty application. We stock fitment-correct hardware in-store and can pair the right lug nut to this wheel when you're ready to purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I finance a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — we offer financing through \u003cstrong\u003eAcima, Affirm, and Synchrony Car Care\u003c\/strong\u003e, which covers a range of credit profiles and repayment structures.
