Best 15 in lightweight? Kosei K1 vs TrMotorsports C1

[gverelli]

Obviously, it all depends on how you define "best."

I went with the TDR ProRace 1.2 from Bimmerworld because they were available in 15x7" with the correct offset (et25) and center bore (57.1mm) so that I don't need to use spacers or centering rings. More important, they were the only 15x7" wheels I could find that cleared my big brake kit:



They had a few other advantages: they are relatively light at 15lbs; they are dirt cheap at only $125 each; they have a reputation for being strong; and they look cool.

Now Bimmerworld offers the TDR ProRace 1.3 as well. They're even lighter (13lbs) and cheaper ($100 each). Those are the ones I'd buy if I were in the market right now.

I love the Team Dynamics. My friend just bought them for this MINI JCW. You should post more pics they look excellent.

Eh, I think something should really be said for the option of going 15x8. Team Dynamics and D-Force really should have released a 15x8 wheel. They wouldn't be Spec E30-legal, but they'd be a better option.

Kosei K1
LTW5
TRM C1
6UL
Rota RB
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2/1.3/2

All great 15" wheels in the same weight class. The RB, C1s, 6ULs and K1s (if you can find them) are available in 15x8. The 15x8s will typically run another 1.5 lbs or so over the 15x7s, but it's worth it.

Don't also forget about the D-Force LTW e30 wheels. Personally I went with TRM C1s as they were available in 15x8.

k1's are still available?

Prolly tr's cause you can get 15x8's.

What do you all think of the best 15 lightweight wheel? I like both of these but cant decide. Both do well in autox, but are there any particular differences in feel or weight as opposed to the looks?
