WTB: 16 inch Kosei K1 4x100 track wheels

[phreshkid]

I am tentatively looking for proper wheels for a track setup. Basically I want to get my car prepared for the track and a proper set of wheels is one way to do it, among other things. The reason I choose 16 inches is because I need it to clear Massive's or IE's bbk that will be bought soon... this week soon.

I'm young and want to learn how to drive properly. No more going fast on the streets.

PM me if you might have something like this for sale.

Please and thank you.

you might want to run some 15x7's. They're Spec E30 size and the tires are relatively cheaper then 16's. There are plenty of options for 205/50r15 since they are spec miata and e30 size.

what about these..

You might also want to check out some race wheels from 949racing.com. They make mostly Miata parts but are also starting to produce some stuff for the e30. Very light, affordably priced wheels multiple widths at the 15 & 17" sizes. I called them to see if I could come by and look at them, and he said just call ahead of time and that will be no problem. I dont think many are running these wheels either so the will be different as well. Sample specs below for 7.5" width. Kudos for you wanting to learn how to responsibly drive your car at the limit. You should try and come out to the BMWCCA event on the 19th at Cal Speedway. Should be fun. I'll be there with my e30.

Thanks for the quick responses! I can do a 15 inch rim but I will have to check the measurement and fitment issues that can potential arise. Regardless, I should be purchasing a BBK today and wheels soon enough as well. Any other suggestions? All are appreciated.

[firemanory]

Which kit you getting? You can download the fitment template from UUC to check wheels with that kit. Massive has different kits so you would need to check with him. I think most 15" race wheels should fit the UUC kit. I think even the 15" euroweave works with UUC.

[phreshkid]

Yeah I think I am going with UUC this time around myself. I am not against other companies. I spoke with Lee already and Rob both and even a rep at IE and I'm heavily leaning towards UUC. I'm not going for full blown track rat, nor do I want to experience brake fade any longer. Wilwood Calipers I'll admit do look the coolest but I'm not here for bling anymore. I want something that works.

But I still want Kosei K1 wheels. I'm considering 15 inch wheels as well.
