Opinions on Kosei K1's

What do you guys think of these wheels? I found a set for $200 with less than 1000 miles.

I like mine, light and strong for the price.

should have mine bolted up this weekend ;)

That's a classic wheel, and they look great on Miata's. I hate them in white, but that's just me. $200 is crack whore pricing. What's size and offset are they?

C

They are 15x7. Bearing in mind that i know nothing about wheels/tires, i dont know the offset.

200 would be a steal for those wheels. Even though they are considered inexpensive, most places have the wheel for 100-125 dollars. I seriously am considering these as I want to save a little dough in the future replacing tires on a 15 inch wheel insead of my stock 17s.

i just hope that i can get a decent amount out of my current 14" tires so that i can get some decent tires to go on these bad boys. Begi s1 has left me broke as hell.

IIRC they come with a 36 or 40 offset.

In 15x7 4x100 they came/come in +38 (what you want) and +45.

The super rare 15x8 4x100 came in +32 which is what you want. There is also a +22 which is what you do not want unless you have flares.

I'll give you $300 for them. :naughty:

Seriously.

C

If you seriously decide on passing these up, I will drive down to Indiana and pick em up.....

$300 for my Falken's?

One of my favorite wheels, I wouldn't pass on the deal.

i sent him an email saying that i would buy them. Now i just need to sell the wheels i have. Anybody want some of these?

$250

if you pass on those wheels and don't hook someone from this forum up with the seller, you will get banned for life, not from this forum, life in general

$200 is a steal, i would delay my mortgage to get these at this kinda price...
good luck, i hope you get your $$ in place

oh,yeah i have the money in place, dont worry about that.

I would definitely get those if I wasn't already getting Heliums.

They are cheap for what you get @ the Tirerack @ 105$ each + shipping.

Pretty much the best wheel around the 100$/wheel price point.

hell if you want to pay $300 for 14s and tires...i got a nice set of daises with a nice set of all seasons :)

If the 6UL had never been produced, I'd probably be on 15x8 K1s.

The K1s are certainly a good value for what they weigh.

Let me think about that for a se.... uh no.

C

I checked the wheels. They are 15x7 with +38offset

Check the link in my sig for pics of my '93 on silver 15x7 +38 K1s. :)

BUY THEM.!

Im meeting the guy next week to get them!

I really like the way the K1s look too. I really wanted a set for my M3. People would always try and talk me out of putting such a "cheap" wheel on a bmw but they were light weight, low cost, good looking wheels.

If my neighbor already didn't have them on his miata I'd consider getting a set. Two sets of K1s on one block is too much :)

You can never have too many K1s. ;)

Heck, I'd have eleventybillion on my Miata if I enough powercards to control them.

how is the weight of these compared to stock wheels on my 95?

Great wheels and that's a terrific price. I've had a pair of 15X7's for six years now and haven't had a problem. Real easy to clean and damn near bulletproof. I tagged a curb pretty hard once and thought I destroyed one. It ended up being a minor scratch.

I think you can get center caps still at Tire rack for about $6 a piece if this particular set doesn't come with them.

Hey Wes65 did you get those wheels from a guy named Nick?

I love mine, I've had them since 2001-ish. I've hit some serious pot holes and never damaged them. Surprisingly strong for the weight. Mine are 16x7.5, +38mm offset. A tick more dish (0.25") than the 15x7 +38.

For the price those are great. If you are buying them new i'd try to find those 15x8 +32's. "Danscreations" has them i believe.

nice :)

I still love my K1's, 17x7 +38

nice snag.. BTW you stole those.. they look clean as hell.

yeah, he said he drove them for less than 1k miles.

Bastard.

I mean nice score.

C

EDIT: I just looked at the sticker (all 4 still good after 7 years) and I have 16x7.5, +32 offset, not +38. Not that this matters much to this thread but I figured I'd post anyway.

Fixed ;)

I spent 500$ for mine with R's on them. Got some 15x9 6UL's coming for 225/45 R1R's.

Didn't really go all out on any part of the car, so I decided to get really nice wheels/tires.

I'd love to get a set of those. Those white-lettered toyos look dirty.

I love mine. I shattered one when I hit a telephone pole, but I still have the other 3 from my old car(all of which traveled with the car off of a cliff) on my current one, they are strong and look great.

I love those wheels. i would get some if i didnt already have 3 sets of wheels

yay for me....got mine put on today.

I decided it's going to stay above freezing for a while, so I put away the winter wheels/tires and put the kosei's on. Ignore the finger at the top, I had to borrow my mom's camera and wasn't used to it.

Looks really good Brain, familiar looking too! ;) I'm guessing those aren't 15x7 +38, they sit a bit more flush than mine.

SamS - looks good too, man I don't miss WI winters at all..

16 x 7.5 +38
