Are these real? pro-x pistons

[Air Gramps]

The pro-x web site http://www.pro-x.com/ says I need part number "01-2510-200" pistons (96-62T 2mm over)

This ebayer says these are "2 NIKS PRO-X PISTON KITS #7098"

WTF is a Niks? and why the different part numbers?

 

[Frosty]

Niks is the distruting company I think... which is owned (sister company) by LA Sleeve

whast with tha huge hole in the side?

nothing i'v sever seen

 

[Big Kahuna]

the pic of that piston is not the piston that is for sale...

Most likely this guy has alot of parts or is going to order the piston after the auction as ended.

 

[ROTATION]

With them mentioning B,C,D sizes, sounds like 66v(1200) pistons.

Are they Pro-X ?


Or are the LA-Sleave pistons called "Niks Pro-X". Like Niks(we made) Pro-Expert Series Pistons? Why do they specify Niks.

I don't want to buy POS knock offs.

 

[Frosty]

From what I know...

Pro-X pistons are made in Netherlands... Niks (Distributorship for and owned by LA Sleeve) imports them. Thus, Niks Pro-X.

 

[yamaslut]

they are made by a company called ART.. I think

 

[Matt_E]

If they're ART pistons, I wouldn't hesitate to run them. Good quality. (On par with Pro-X)

Also, the large hole is a piston boost port.

 

[Watty]

I just got some 82mm through Nik's. They're normal pro-x pistons, and at a pretty good price too.

prox=art=sudco?

 

[Matt_E]

Shhhhhhh.

Sounds like most of you are saying these are ok to use?

Pro-x is owned by a company called PMI motorsports. PMI owns Wiseco, Vertex, Pro-X, and JE to name a few.

Check them out.
