Default Kosei K1

Who knows if they make an application for the Focus? I know they make the Racing Seneca for our cars, so maybe they make the K1 as well.

Lookin' dead sexy in anthricite:


Best part about these wheels is the 16x7 rims weigh in at only 15.5lbs.

I sent them an e-mail one time, the seneca works. The k1 does not. I wish they did, they are nice.

Bunch of hooey in 2002! Kosei K-1 Racing rims do come in a 17x7.5, 4x108 bolt pattern, with a 45mm offset (@ 16 lbs each) . Center caps do not come with them, so you have to order separately from TireRack (for $8/each). I have yet to install the center caps (this weekend, since they are reverse mounted {from inside the rim}). Additionally, you will need hubcentric rings for these....and to prove all of this, here you go:

....and your point is?....

That is what happens when people use the Search function, and how questions get answered. It is a heck of alot better than just posting a new topic on one that has already been threaded.

not flaming you or anything, just pointing out my opinion (as useless as that is).

Damn, calm down. I was just pointing out that it was an old post that was brought back and someone may have not realized it, nothing to do with you at all.

I PM'd him. I guess we'll see what turns up.

Anyone else know of any K1's lurking around the Jet?

FYI I believe they're 16"x7.5", not 7". I'd like to get a set for autocross tires, but I think what I really want is 15x7.5 or 8. to run 225/45(or 50)R15 Kumhos or Toyos. I'll probably ultimately settle for 15x7's, or maybe break down and get a local deal on a set or two of Hoosier A6s' in 225/45(?)R17.
