- RS-L Wheel
Based on the original Kahn RS-L wheel, the multi –spoke design and studded edging creates an elegant appearance and enhances the look of any adoring vehicle. Finished in beautiful titanium silver- the design ethos behind the RS-L wheel is to convey the ultimate in luxury executive aesthetics and ride the crest of contemporary style. The wheel is designed to accommodate a variety of original centre caps. (O.E.M caps not supplied).
Our elegant and sculpted alloy wheel designs are evolved through skilled artistic innovation and state-of-the art manufacturing and materials technology. Our strength is our expertise and this is based on 20 years of perusing perfection.

2. Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
Simple physics dictates that a turning wheel has more traction than one that is skidding. Antilock brake systems (ABS) watch individual wheel speeds; if one locks up, they pump the brakes far faster than a human could. Don’t worry about giving up control to a computer; if the ABS system goes on the fritz (they rarely do) the brakes work normally. Do-it-yourselfers can still do their own brake jobs (though you must relieve system pressure before removing a brake line; check your repair manual).
3. Electronic stability/skid-control system
ESC systems use the anti-lock brake sensors (which show individual wheel speed), accelerometers, and steering wheel/pedal position sensors to figure out what the car is doing and what the driver wants it to do. If the two don’t seem to match up, ESC does what no driver can: It applies the brakes to individual wheels and reduces power as needed to keep the car going where the driver is trying to point it. They are almost transparent and work surprisingly well.
4. Telescoping steering wheel/adjustable pedals
Most new cars have height-adjustable (tilt) steering columns; some cars have steering wheels that telescope (move in and out) and/or electrically adjustable pedals. The latter two not only make finding a comfortable position easier, but they allow shorter drivers to safely position themselves farther from the airbag while still keeping their feet comfortably on the pedals.
5. Rear-seat DVD player
Got kids? Movies-on-the-go can make long trips easier for both you and them. Many rear-seat entertainment systems include wireless headphones, so you can enjoy the stereo (or the peace and quiet). My own children would have TVs surgically implanted in the backs of their hands if they could, so in order to avoid turning them into road-going zombies I generally limit movie watching to long trips. They also make a convenient reward and/or dangling carrot. 6. GPS navigation system
Using the Global Positioning Satellite System and sensors in the car, GPS navigation systems can pinpoint your exact location and give you turn-by-turn directions (via a small video screen, spoken voice, or both) to help you find your way. Most will also guide you to the closest gas station, ATM, hospital or police station. They can steer you out of a bad neighborhood, they can route you around traffic, and no matter how lost you get, they can always help you find your way home.
7. Side airbags
Most cars have at least three feet of crush space at the front and back, but only a few inches of protection at the sides. Federally-mandated door beams help keep the car intact instead of caving in. But there’s still the problem of inertia: While the car is being pushed away, your body (particularly your head, which isn’t secured by the seat belt) wants to stay still, and it could go right through the side window. Side airbags cushion your noggin and help keep it safely inside the car.
