Need new tires so I figure I'll get new wheels while im at it. They are lightweight and seem pretty tough. Any one have these? If you have pics of them on a G3 teg (or anything else) please post.

They are Kosei K1 racing in silver 17"....

Thanks,
Jason

Yeah those are really nice ...

They're a bit plain for my taste and the spokes are too thin.

I am lookin' to buy these!!! Sure they're great...

Peace y'all, Raph...

a friend of mine has them. very nice for racing as they have widths no one else normally carries, like 16x8 for a 225 wide tyre.

plus they're light and strong.

OK here it is. I think ive decided on the Anthracite because the silvers kinda matched my paint too much. What do you guys think? I think they look pretty sharp, plus they at 17" weigh a hair under my stock 15s. Lemme know.

Drift - did your buddies come with any kind of center caps or did the hubs just show throught the centers?

Thanks...

dammit...

They are light but I wish it had a center cap.

Buddy Club P1's... same size... and about the same weight... with a little more lip. :)

Eh...Buddy Clubs SF = cast versions of a much much much lighter wheel.

Kosei K1s are nice, especially for the price.

I have two sets of Kosei K1s (16x7.5" and the 15x7") both are great lightweight wheels for the money.

What width do you have on your 7.5's? TireRack recomends 205s but i have heard that is a little shy and a 215 would sit better. Any opinions?

thanks for all the input guys...


BTW -- Im getting Bridgestone PP's

go with a 225, you'll have a hell of handling. But of course, it depend of the thickness of the tires you can fix on ur integra!!

Peace y'all, Raph...

I thought 215's were pushing it....Bridgestone doesnt reccomend 225's for 7.5" wheels....

Need to know what 215s will look like

I have 215/40x16" tires on my 16x7.5" rims. If you go bigger you have the risk of rubbing and the tire not sitting flat on the ground. Remember bigger is not always better. Put a smaller than ideal tire on a rim it will look like an upside-down 'U' so you will be riding on the edges of the tire. If you run a larger than ideal tire on a rim it will look like 'U' and you will be riding on the middle of the tire. Remember tires are soft but they still have steel belts in it to keep its shape.

so is a 215 a happy medium? Thanks for your help.

people have been telling my 7.5 inches is too wide...
thats why i sold my 17x7.5 wheels with 42+ offset...
was that a bad mistake?!!!

So are 7.5s going to be too wide on my teg? Did yours rub, james?

OK....i got em.

7.5" is about the widest you should go. I had 17x7.5" with 42mm offset and it hit the fenderwell slightly. 43-44mm offset would be better, but then you are getting close to the inner fenderwell which I had rub too.

Yup, these Kosei's are 44 offset. Talked to Larry from Tire Rack before I ordered them and he said he 'offically' couldnt recommend the 215 but he said he knew quite a few people that run that size of bridgestone on an integra. I cant wait to get em....

As far as suspension, what should I go for next? Shocks and springs or stiffening components?

Thanks for all of you guys help
