Im thinking about buying some Kosei K1's in 15 by 8. Looks are of the smallest concern here. I am just trying to find out if anyone has had them and has anything good or bad to say about them. They weigh 14.5 lbs. which is one and a half less than the stock 16 lb. basketweaves. They are also a half inch wider, so I believe they should make a somewhat noticeable improvement. Any info would be helpul. Thanks.

Just to review, correct me if i'm wrong:
Caps: 14x6 - 16.2lbs
Weaves: 14x6.5 - 14.5lbs
Euro Weaves: 15x7 - 16lbs
Kosei: 15x7 - 14.5lbs
So if you're interested in a cheap track/autocross set-up, I take'd either euroweaves or koseis and put Yokohama AVS ES100 (205/55VR15 for $77) on.
Koseis are $129 each. And how much can you get Euro baskets for?(Mtechnik-3 was seeing if anyone wanted $250 for a set. E30evolution got his for $390)
p.s. (Think this only applies to non-M)
EDIT: My new vote goes for stock baskets and 205/60R14, Yoko E3100's - $74 a tire. Unless you really need that extra inch in diameter and half inch in width, weaves are great!

I do drive an M3, so my weaves are 15x7.5 and my Kosei's would be 15x8, TireRack sells them in that size normally. It seems like people were thinking four lug. But anyway, had anyone actually heard about the strength of these wheels.sigpic

Euro basketweaves are also sweet, I love e30evolution's silver painted ones! But I already have weaves, and there's little sense in me looking for the euro ones. But those with 'caps could sure use this time to upgrade.
