Kodiak is good-- the quality of their barrels is high, and they're designed for racing, so they'll be durable. However, the best barrels for show cars come from some German company that begins with an R, I can't remember the name right now. They're available through TunerShop. They're the same barrels they use on Schmidt split-rims, which are really sought after for European VW, AUDI, and BMW tuners. These barrels have a better staggered lip, are better for stretching tires, and are incredibly durable. There are a few (really small number) of tuners running these on their custom-offset BBS splits, so just ask TunerShop what they can do.
