Hey guys, just got a set of kosei k-1's from the tire rack, and since I have never seen any pics on the net of them on an S14, I thought i'd share.they are 16x7.5 with 225/50/16 kumho asx tires. Thanks again to grant at the tire rack for answering all my annoying little questions before I bought these.

Those look good. This may be a stupid question, but are they white or silver. Also, do they have a center cap on 'em?

Also, what kind of suspension are you running? The drop on the car looks just perfect.

They're silver. my friend that took the pics used a flash, so they reflected pretty bad. They didn't come with center caps, and i'm not sure if any would fit, but thats one question I forgot to ask grant. Suspension wise, i'm running HKS super sport springs on kyb AGX struts. I think they discontinued the springs or replaced them with a newer model, but I got mine dirt cheap on ebay from the HKS clearance seller. the drop is 1.6" front 0.5" rear. Looks good, handles great... I really don't know why HKS didn't sell more of em.

I thought those were discontinued? Did the Tire rack have a surplus? Those are exactly the wheels I am looking for, cept color, but the size and width are what I've been looking for.

Looks sweet...exactly the look I want for my S13 Fastback. When I checked in to K-1's a while back for 4 lug, they didn't come with center caps, which is fine with me.

I'm hoping that something like S-Techs or H&R Sports will give a look something like what you've got.

What offset wheels are those, BTW?

Sadly those were one of the last full sets we had left. It's a 32mm offset and they do look great on the car tho!

imho, H&R would be the better spring. I had tein s-techs on before i got the HKS springs, and i thought they were too soft, and made the back end sit too low.

Grant, don't you guys carry blank K-1's you can drill out for 4x114.3? I seem to remember an old thread talking about that.

We had some blanks but those are sold out as well. We sent out the last few sets to be tooled up and they are gone.
