looking for a decent 15x7 rim in 4x114.3 BP. so far the only one ive found in that pattern has been the Volk TE37 but they're $351/rim. not quite in my budget. i looked at the Koesi K1's but it doesnt seem they make them in my BP. anyone have anything else to add to this list. must be 14lbs or less, suggested please.

Kosei K1's or something like that.

 

havnt been able to find them in a 4x114.3 BP though. found many in a 4x100 BP, but not what i need

racing hart has some light wheels that are not as much as volks but if thats too much you can go with rota copies which are still a good wheel and lightweight and very cheap

edit: my only complaint on rotas is there reputation for the paint or powdercoating pealing

Rota does make a 4x114.3, i know cuz i have um

 

offical email from tirerack.com:

Hello,
Grant here at The Tire Rack. Kosei has discontinued that wheel and it is
no longer available. All of the other wheels in that sizing are going
to weigh in the 17 lbs. and above range. SSR used to make the Integral
but that too has been discontinued. Everything else in going to be in a
cast wheel. Thanks for your inquiry.
Grant

but are they a 15x7?

ok..new development. apparently no one can get the Kosei K1's anymore. so unless you find someone selling ones they already bought, good luck.

i did find someone that is selling Buddy Club P1's (not the forged 10.1lbs ones) but they're actually almost exactly like the K1's made by same manufactuer, same specs 13.5lbs etc etc. i was qouted 140/rim. PM/email me if interested.

why would kosei stop production? makes absolutely zero sense

 

Black Racing Pro N1's

http://www.arw.co.jp/wheels/brn1.html Click the link under the white wheel for a size chart.
I'm unsure of the weight though. Might want to call Vick at http://www.wheeloptions.com to find out if he knows.

5Zigen FN-o1R

Not sure if this offset works well with 4th Gen's though. Available again at wheeloptions. 16" rims weighs 11.68 lbs I believe (5.3kg)

Racing Hart CP-035's.

Not 100% sure that theyhave your bolt pattern though I'm 99% sure they offer them in 15x7 (might be a bit pricey though).

That's all that comes to mind right now.

 

thing with the Kosei's was that they were such a good price.. Racing Harts (probably 5 zigen too) are ilke $1k for wheels.

 

Buddy Club P1's (4) $560 + shipping......thats not bad

 

Yeah I know but that's all that I could think of off the top of my head. The 5Zigens might not be too expensive.....I'd have to check though.
EDIT: OK I checked.....the cast lightweight version of the 5Zigens' isn't too bad but the forged one will put a dent in your wallet (over 300 a rim for the forged under 200 for the cast).

<blink>

 

I have 2 kosei k1's in white with 1st gen bfg drag radials(50% tread) from my 4th gen if anyone is interested make me a reasonable offer i might part with them since i most likely will not be drag racing anymore.
