Re: Sport Edition wheels - company info?

I was looking for 15" alloy wheels for my 94 Accord @ Tire Rack and saw the Sport Edition F2's. They were relatively inexpensive ($65/ea) and so like you I decided to find some info about the company on the web. Saw someone saying that they were made in the same factory where they make Oz wheels, while a message posted by Luke from Tirerack (in 2001) indicated they were made from a Mille Miglia factory.

Finally e-mailed Tirerack. Jake replied that Sport Edition is a house brand and the wheels were made for them by Kosei, a Japanese company. I got the wheels (w/ Kumho tires) a few days ago and they look good on the old car. The wheels are made in China but this isn't an issue w/ me (especially for the price) because I knew that Kosei has factories in China, Philippines, etc., and that Kosei manufactures quality wheels.

Hope this helps.
