I have a quote from Grant @ Tirerack and hopefully, I'll be ordering drilled silver Kosei K1's 16x7.5x32mm offset and 225/50/16 Yokohama AVS ES100's for my S13 on Tuesday.

If anyone knows of any issues involved or ... can testify from experience that this will be fine, please let me know.

Thanks.

Ya I'd like to know how much that cost you too. I was also wondering if you can get center caps for the K1s cuz my center piece looks ugly without a cap i think. If anyone has pics of the K1s in 16 and 17" on an s13 I'd like to see them.

I can't give you an exact quote, because I asked for a quote including a bunch of other stuff.

However, I put together a quick page with all the Kosei/Buddy Club pictures I could find including one I made with Photoshop.http://www.ammerman.org/240sx/kosei/index.html

I modified the photo of MAV1178's S13, I hope he doesn't mind...http://www.socal240sx.org/profiles/ac01.html

that grey s13 looks really nice. Anyone know what shock/spring combo that is? Man I REALLY want a 91+, i hate my pignose. So I guess no center caps, guess they're not a big deal...Got any pics of 240s with 17s?

The wheels are only available in the silver finish and are not set up for center caps. They are $149.00 each and are on clearance. We only have a few sets of the blanks left and they are going fast. We only have stock left in our Indiana warehouse so all orders need to ship out of there. I can work up a quote for you if you call me direct.

A few questions...

Will the 16x8.5 fit on the back of an s13 hatch. What offset would I need to run 245/45/16 tires on them?

Edit: Also what is the approximate weight on each of these wheels, both 16x7.5 and 16x8.5.

The k1s weigh about 15 and 16lbs each in those widths. You would want to run with an ET27 rear if you are using a 245 tire with the 8.5".
