Kosei K1 15x8 +32 at tire rack
 
Just in case someone was interested. I just ordered a set. Lugs were included for free. Talked to Nate @ x688. He states that there are 3~4 sets left in silver only.

Man I like those. I really want to scrap the 17's and get some lighter 15x8's

TurboTim 01-02-2007 02:57 PM

my k1 16x8s are +32. I think these wheels look incredible with the deeper dish.

Did you have to roll your fenders?

Shouldn't even with 16x8's depending on the tire overall diameter should be the same as teh 15x8's. I had already rolled mine from previous wheel/tire setup but you can just adjust your camber some to clear if need be. No biggy! I like the 15's but wish they would have had the 16's still (could have ran the 245/35/16 T1R).

How do these compare to the 15 x 8 that Emilio is selling??

Al Hounos 01-02-2007 03:54 PM

Damn, these and the 6ULs are so tempting. I want to get rid of my 14x6 40 offset bad.

my sister put some 15" enkei rpf1 on her msm and it really livened up the car. I was surprised.

About the same! The K1's are a little heavier at 14lbs each where Emilio's are 12.8lbs. Offset on the K1 +32; Emilio's +40 or +20. So really depends on what style wheel you like. Emilio's wheels have a few more finishes and polished lips.

TheBandit 01-02-2007 07:05 PM

Looks good. That car is really low! Gotta love the fatty wheels/tires.

I have a set of gorrilla lugnuts from JC Whitney that look similar to that :)

what's the advantage of running 225s on 7" vs. 8"

Other than the fact 225's suggested rim width would be 7.5 - (8.0) - 8.5 I found this on yokahama's website "A wider wheel will improve handling at the expense of ride quality, while a narrower wheel will improve ride quality at the expense of handling. ". I'll ask my boss tomarrow I remember him saying something about it the other day..wanna say it was something to do with the tire wanting to actually fold. I dunno though! I did the opposite though! I knew I wanted 15x8 with mid to low offset for the stance and new the 225's would fit.

Braineack 01-02-2007 11:04 PM

From what I just searched they'll fit on 7 - 8.5" I guess stiffen the sidewall is an advantage...all in all they look good.
