Default FS: Rare 15x7" Kosei K1s in gunmetal and 45mm offset. Perfect for Hondas :)

Hate to get rid of these but they are just taking up space in my garage.

Very rare 15x7" Kosei K1s 45mm offset in the rare GUNMETAL color. I've had these wheels since 2002 and they are in great condition. I believe one wheels has a little knick from me dropping a lug nut on it and another wheel the label is slightly worn. The wheels weigh about 14lbs and very sought after due to their offset.

I'm asking $500 for all 4. Or best offer. Local pick up only WILL NOT SHIP.

Also for tires I have:

Four 205/50x15" Falken Azenis RT-615s that have 6 events on them now. Lots of tread left (approximately 4-5mm deep). They have about 20 events left in them. Asking $200 for all 4. I can meet about 60 miles from Lancaster, PA.

Four 225/60x16" Michelin Symmetry tires off my wife's 2004 Honda Odyssey. These tires still have about 4mm of tread left and are all season tires. I just got my wife newer tires for the winter. Asking $100 for all four.

Any questions please feel free to email me: mikelouie @ comcast.net

** Whoops didn't realize I had $700. **

Hard to find set of wheels! I JUST gave up my search for them and opted for another route. Everywhere I looked I couldn't find the right offset with that color.

Good luck!

Day-um, the value of them goes up $300 or so when they get discontinued, or is that with tires?

That's what I thought when I saw it. 109 new, now 175 used.

Wish I would have bought a few sets of them when they had um!


GL with the sale! Wish my 38mm wheels were worth that much.

Why is 45 mm offset perfect?

For racing I think the 38mm is better.

What's the difference between a +45 offset and a +38 with a spacer?

+38 with a spacer would be closer to +32 or something you realize, not the other way...

These wheels are Honda Civic friendly because in the past I had problems with 38mm offsets on my Civics. Don't know if others had.

I just used a 3mm spacer with these wheels and had 42mm offset which is also very Honda Civic friendly. They have been sitting on my shelf in my garage since last year.

I use 15x7 38mm offset koseis on my 89 civic and they don't rub.

just your typical konis and GC's. Stock camber at the time, but relatively stiff springs. the car isn't dumped tho, so maybe that helps.
