New Kosei Racer at the Tire Rack

[Repo Man]

I found the new Kosei wheels on the Tire Rack site, the Racer and Racer II. Their site says (I think) that it is either 38mm or 48mm for the Racer. Obviously it must be 38mm to fit an s13.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks.

repo :help

Anyone?

Kosei is making the Racer in the correct bolt pattern but not the Racer II. The sizes are as follows:

16X7 ET 38 $165.00

17x7 ET 38 $179.00

17x7 ET 48 $179.00

These are so new I don't even have weights on them yet. I'll post that once we get them in for specs. I already checked with Kosei and they are not planning any wider versions at this time. We requested wider wheel offerings but they do not make them in wider fitments yet in Japan. :rolleyes

Thanks Grant! I don't suppose you've actually seen one of these on an s13 have you?

These are so new we have only seen the wheels on the sales floor. They are very nice looking and seem to have a better look than the K1 wheels IMHO.

I love the K1's. It would have to be an extremely good looking wheel to be better than those. They are so simply and their simplicity is what makes them nice IMO
