Default Kosei K1 racing in 16x7.5

From what I have read here the Kosei K1 Racings are no longer being produced, and all that is left are the 15x7 sizes. When they are sold out they are gone. Is that correct?

Is there any way I can order a set of 16x7.5s from Japan or something? I think the Tire Rack distributes them, could they order me a set?

Why don't you call them and ask?

Well I have to tried to ask them in the past, except I can never get a straight answer. Then they will always try to change the subject and sell me on a different wheel.

Isn't there a guy from the Tire Rack on the forum now? Maybe he can tell us.

All they (the Tire Rack) would have to do is read these forums to see how much people around here like the Kosei K1 racings. Not only the Honda forums either, the BMW racers seem to really like them as well. I would think it would be a smart choice for the Tire Rack to import more of these wheels.

If they are out of production, then order a new production run on them.

There seems to be enough demand.

Let me tell you about a NEW INVENTION that you can use. It's really amazing technology. It's called the "telephone" and it enables you to speak to people you're trying to contact. You have to press BUTTONS on it. Here is the SECRET CODE that will enable you to use that to talk to people at the Tire Rack:

8 - 8 - 8 - 7 - 2 - 7 - 8 - 0 - 9 - 2



If you want to talk with Cooper, our guy from the forum, his extension there is easy as P-I-E to remember. Just press the buttons for P-I-E.

Yeah I don't know.

I don't like trying new technology.

You guys crack me up...

16x7.5 is not a size we carry, and Kosei demands a minimum order of 40 wheels, so chances are you would have to go with 16x7 if they are available.

Thanks for the reply. I actually would prefer 16x7s. I only mentioned the 16x7.5 because that was the only 16 inch size i saw for them in the past.

I bet there are at least 10 people here that would buy sets of these wheels. That is 40 wheels.

If you can get pre-orders for 40 wheels, shoot me a PM immediately.
