where can I fond Kosei K1's

[emperor_lunchbox]

I am looking for some Kosei K1's, I would like to get some 16x7.5'sanyone know where I can find them. I read someplace about getting them on tire rack and I went to the website and they are not on the website.

thanks for your help.

[nismofly]

they arent going to be on the website because they are special order...

i know when i got mine Grant was our representative, i dont know if anyone here has the new person's contact info, if all else fails id say e-mail Grant and you can ask him about the new person or he can forward your questions

fyi they come in 16x7.5 +32 and +22 in like white, silver, and bronze...i believe

[emperor_lunchbox]

awesome I was actually looking for bronze wheels anyway. also for the offsets, which one would be ideal for the s13 and what would be the ideal tire size for those.

[nismofly]

if you ever have any plans to get the z brake upgrade, the +22s are the better bet

and as far as tires go, i havent mounted mine yet but im getting 225/50-16s, but i know people who have run 205s as well

[emperor_lunchbox]

thanks alot for the help. I wasnt really planning on doing the z brake upgrade so I guess ill go with the 32 offset. and maybe ill do staggered on the tire size.anyway, thanks alot for your help.now all I have to do is find them.

lol no problem

call the tire rack and they can probably tell you when theyll be getting more sets in

[emperor_lunchbox]

Let me know how this goes, because I contacted Grant (or someone) at Tire Rack last year about Kosei K-1's and he told me they weren't doing those kind of 'deals' anymore (where they get in blanks and then drill them to 4x114 for us).

I'm also interested in getting bronze. So post back if they tell you anything good!!

when i got them only silver and white were available...the only time ive ever seen the bronze are on the pdm racing's black s13 hatch

I want some K-1's soooo bad. I'm kicking myself for not getting these wheels when they were cheap and available (before the custom machining).

I like the Team Dynamics wheels that Skydragoness found (I prefer the Pro Race 1), but I'd much rather have the Kosei wheels.

If TireRack can't accomodate what is obvious demand for these wheels, maybe someone else can get blanks and properly machine them.

Where is our new TireRack guy? We seem to be kind of in between representatives. Unless the price on the K1 have become utterly rediculous since they were last sold, I'm all over these wheels if someone can get them.

Edit: Why is it so damn hard to get nice, light 16" wheels for our cars? Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

just fyi, the 32 offset clears z32 brakes with no problems

don't forget to check ebay. every once in a while i'll see a few sets of K-1's pass through there

just don't buy it from Takumi project in Chatsworth, they rip people off all day. my friend bought a set from them, one expensive, second tax on used rims? third one cracked a week after he put them on. later he found that it has been repaired.

buy from wheelchoice much better.

Got SSR's instead: zerothread?id=113143

I got mine off of ebay for $300 shipped. 16x7.5 +22... ebay is your best bet my friend.
