kosei k1's in gunmetal?

If I am correct, they are made in the following sizes:
15x7 - 13.5 lbs
16x7.5 - 15.5 lbs
17x7.5 - 16.7 lbs
Now these are they Kosei K1 Racing. I'm not sure if they are the same as what you are talking about. They might be a lighter version of the same thing, but I really don't know.

They come in 16's but I hear their is a problem with them rubbing on the control arm. Check with Riot from this board. He is running Kosi K1's in a 16.

at tirerack there arer only 15's in the gun metal and i think they would stand out over white or silver on my car. thats why i want them and i know people w/ 16's and they dont rub and he has his car slammed. i dont care if the are lame, but i want yok a520's do they come in the right size for my car? i think i am gonna get them. also i want ground control coilovers for sure, but what shocks was thinking koni adjustables any opinions

the problem with the 16" k1s rubbing is that they are 7.5" wide....most 16" wheels aren't that wide...hell, most 17" wheels civics aren't that wide...I would most definetly get 15" wheels.....unless you want to look cool for your friends...I guess

yea there is a problem with them rubbing the rear control arm, because i have them, all i did was file the little nub off the control arm, you only have to file like 2mm off, no big deal. and then spary some black paint on there to cover up the fresh metal.

they will look awesome on black. i too am planning on getting a set of kosei's in gunmetal. i already have 8 silver, but those are some race wheels. when you get them on the car, email me some pics. i'll post them. i've been wanting to do some sort of readers rides for a while.
