Where to find Kosei K1 racing wheels?

*cardana24* · 08-08-2008, 10:02 AM

Does anyone know where I can find a set of these? Tire rack does not have any other than a set that has a +45 offset.

I am spacificaly looking for a set of 17's by at least 8" wide. Anyone know. I already know about ebay and craigslist.

K1-TS 17x9 +35 15lbs and change. Won't find a better deal than that.

They say they have less than 2 of 'em but give 'em a call and find out for yourself. IIRC it said that for someone else and they called, they had plenty.

^^^ That fitment is great for an A32.

I'm sorry. I should have been more clear I am looking for the Kosei K1 Racing wheels. It's a discontinued wheels that is a 6 spoke design. I was hoping maybe someone knew of a place that still had a set laying around.

Maybe I am being confusing. I know these wheels are available in some sizes/bolt patterns/offsets. I am looking spacificaly for wheels that will fit my 4th gen, in the specs that I listed. E36 wheels will not fit our cars...neither will 4 bolt miata wheels.

I know what the K1 is, I was suggesting a similar but lighter, cheaper, more widely available wheel that is also available in better fitment. Doesn't look quite as good but hey..

Next time I'll pay attention to bolt pattern. I'll keep looking for you.

I'm soooooo close to ordering these for my new Maxima. Been thinking about them for months now.......Lightweight, fairly good looking, inexpensive...

Honestly all else being equal (normal price) they're almost identical to 17x9 RP-F1s which if you ask me look a loot better. But they're not, they're half price, sooooo...

rpf1 = win.

MorpheusZero · 08-10-2008, 06:26 PM

As long as they're flat-spoked...

negative. concave to the max. flat spoked = lamesauce.

best size they offer: 17x9.5 +38, 17x10 +18

False.

Flat spokes >> "caliper clearance" curved spokes, slight dish FTW and slight "perceived" dish ftmfl.
