Kosei K1 TS - true lightweight performance wheels + tires

These wheels are the exact same spec as the Rays for Mazdaspeed3.

18X7.5 et50; bolt 5X114; wheel weight is 17lbs. Perfect application for the speeds. The wheels are in perfect condition, no scratches or curb damage, come with the nuts. I have had them on for the April09-September09 time frame. Amazing wheels that are truly designed with performance in mind, also great for daily driving. The suspension feels so much better with lighter wheels. The tires are OEM Bridgestones with less than 10K on them, you can tell by the thread pattern that they are not worn at all. They had 2 rotations.

I am asking for $1000 shipped OBO (4wheels and mounted tires) (shipped to lower 48, I am assuming around $150 shipping). Local will be $850, in the Chicago area.

Only allows 5 pics, but I got more on msf org if interested or please send me a pm with your email and I will send more pics

Bump for nice wheels. I just got mine from tirerack for winter use. In my size, 17 by 7, they claim to be 13.7 lbs.! How accurate do you think Tirerack is with their wheel weights? Can't wait to get em on the car when the damn rain stops.

Tire rack is very accurate, when I was putting the wheels I was able to hold in one hand the Kosei and the original wheel in my other hand and the difference in weight was night and day.
 
Alex, did you have to run extended tuner or spline lugs with these rims? I can't get mine on with the supplied lugs from Tirerack.

Thanks

Yeah, you need tuner lugs. It's interesting that tire rack did not provide the right lugs, they are really good most of the time. I heve aftermarket lugs for the wheels, you also need to make sure your center ring is the exact spec otherwise you will have vibrations or that may be the reason why you are having trouble.
