Kosei K1's in e30 fitment are back

[chondamx]

Maybe when I man up and throw some flares on the 318 and buy some 18x10s I'll look into 275s....and then ill have to worry about finding about 200 more pony power for my little M42 .

Sometimes I miss my old '91 NA...fun car.

12.8lbs for 15x9 would be sweet...and some 245 Hohos would be hot...but at +36 I can't justify the huge spacer needed. Damn you, 949.

And thats one of the reasons I am codriving a meotter in 2011 for autox purposes. 275 hohos FTW!

Doing my first National level SCCA event this year in NJ at the New Meadowlands staduim... looking forward to it!

These look like they would be cool.

The UL wheels are great wheels, available up to 9" width and widely used in racing. But do they have them with the proper bolt pattern and offset?

run fatty spacers

A member here is hooking me up with some 20mm spacers and hub rings for $45 shipped :)

[Dj Buttchug]

I just picked these up today for $300, all 5 rims. Granted they are 17x7.5 and have an offset of 45..




If they made a 16x8 with the correct offset I'd dump these babies in heart beat..

I loved my 15x8 et23 K1's. 5-lugging the car that they were removed them from was unjustifiably expensive (in retrospect). I sold and shipped the wheels with new 225 RS2's for less than the cost of one strut housing



^^The car looks like a 4x4 in that shot.

Be unique I say.

Everyone says kosei's are played out, but no one around here seems to have them, and I don't remember seeing many besides mine at the picnic. I have the et17's with meaty bfg 205's on them and they *almost* rub. I might buy a pair of the et25's as backup in case I destroy one of the 17's. Then I would put the surviving et17 in the spare wheel, and run a pair of et25's in the back.

I'd put the et 17's in the back. I have a 10mm stagger on my e30 (et 18 front and et 8 rear, 16x7 wheels), and they have about equal fitment, front to rear.

But I agree, K1's are not too common, at least around my area. I think all the Honda guys curbed them all trying to drift.

Shouldn't you be shopping for dubs for your X5?

Already pimped mah ride a minute ago dawg.

You don't remember? When you guys made fun of it? Since it's not a superior, reliable luxury car like a 1984 318i with 267k miles?
