What do you guys think about these....Kosei K1
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

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

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...

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 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.
