Default anyone running the kosei K1 TS?

i'm looking into these wheels and ive search, but all i get are FS threads. i read one thread that said the 205 azenis rub. but its all good. i was curious if anyone has had probs with these. they are 10.6 lbs for 15X7.


and orange!! haha

oh and the 2 valve is for "Dual valve stems facilitate the use of the less heat sensitive gas nitrogen for racing applications"

i couldnt find anyone in the RR/autoX forum running these.

No, I have the K1's but can't see why they'd rub with 205/50's unless the offset was incorrect.

hmm. ill try to find that thread.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I have for sale a set of 4 (four) 15x7" Kosei TS 38mm offset and 4x100 lug pattern in silver. These are the lightest wheels Kosei makes as I know. Each wheel is 10.5lbs!

They only have two autocrosses on them (DC Tour in May). So they are almost brand new. They come with the center caps and special lugs that fit these wheels.

I am selling these because with my 205/50x15" Azenis they rub pretty bad. I'm sure a 205/50x15" in another tire would work better, since the Azenis are more like 215s.

just buy a set of ssr competitions...they are much lighter...As for the Azenis, I just put a set of 215/45/16 on my ssr's and the right rear is rubbin somethin fierce. I think I just need to do a little alignment magic on it though, cause right now that wheel looks to be cambered out farther than the left rear...oh well, we'll see

i beleive the SSR C's weight around 11.1 lbs. these are 10.6. now, i know the quality is most likely not up to par, but if i can get a set of these kosies for the price of about one and a half SSRs then im going with the koseis.

the 16" ssr comps weigh in at 11 lbs for the 16x7, but if you are getting those for super cheap, then by all means..

I'm looking for some track-only wheels, but they must be light. These seem to be a good solution if they are strong.

There's no ITR application in the 15 inch size. Check it out for yourselves...
