Default Kosei k1 ts

Ive been looking for a good set of rims and I came across Kosei k1 ts. I know that there very light and really good for the price.
Just wondering if anyone has these on and if they're any good?

Well before I bash anything I like to go and research

They actually might not be that bad. They use Super Forming technique apparently, which seems similar to Enkei's MAT or SSR's SSF processes. Then I looked at sizes. A lot of times if I haven't seen them on the S2000 is because they don't come any wider than 7.5 or 8". But these have decent sizing. Apparently they have 17 x 8 +45 and 17 x 9 +45 which is same as RPF1. It will requires some rolling and rear tab reloaction, but I say they might be worth it. How much have you found them going for? RPF1s are (track) proven and can be found for $1100 or so shipped.

On their website, their weight chart says the fronts would be 14.7 and rear 16.4! That is really light...

How come we haven't heard about these before?

I found a great deal for 550 They seem in great condition and I hope to see them in person

Idk why we havent heard of them before! Everyone pretty much has a set of ENKEI's and I wanted something different

Hmm, so he should have pictures right? You are definitely going to need to roll and pull your front fenders and roll your rear fenders and relocate the bumper tab. Or you can get some aftermarket fenders for the front. It definitely will be work, but 17 x 9 is a good setup. Do you track at all?

I loved them on my STI and now i have them on my S2000. Here's some pics of them on my car. I wish they made them wider and in a more s2000 friendly offset, but they don't unless you want to roll your fenders.

I had a set on my srt4 for the track, they are crazy light. I don't think many people run them now cause Kosei replaced them with a different model, I could be wrong though.
