    Rare *15x8* Kosei K1's for E30

    Kosei K1 in rare out-of-production 15x8 e30 pattern. One is brand new, never mounted. $550 + shipping. They were $215 a piece if you ever ordered them new, had them drilled, and shipped from TireRack. These things havent been made for years now though and are very sought after due to their larger width.

    But here's the "problem": one of the wheels [the brand new one] has a different offset [+12 as opposed to +22]. The story goes, I bought a new one (to replace one that I had cracked) through TireRack after waiting roughly a year for them to hit the market again. I didnt decide to re-mount them till another 6months after purchasing them. That's when I noticed the offset was +10mm different. From what I'm told, it's possible to stagger this setup by adding a 10mm spacer to one of the wheels in the rear.

    Best Wishes,

      Ronal's, and I remember seeing your car at Cal Ripken Autocross events with DC Chapter. Not a bad price.

          In the pics of them mounted on your car, I'm assuming you ran the 10mm spacer on one wheel. No?

            The pictures of them mounted are without the 10mm spacer (because it wasnt necessary at the time). After that picture was taken, I cracked one of the wheels, which I replaced (at the wrong offset), and here I am.

                      Ah, Mike Whitney's old car. Really clean, and set-up. Glad to see it found a good home!

                          Should be cheap. I just checked and it is right around $45 plus money to package it.
