Kosei TS lightweight wheel - SWEET!
Today I picked up another part from my sponsor - new wheels.
For those who know I had 16x7.5" Kosei K1s, which I sold to Andy. And purchased the 15x7" Kosei K1s 45mm offset. I used these wheels for about 3 years now and it was time to go lighter. I was thinking of using the 15x7" SSRs but at $300/wheel it was a bit much for me and my sponsor.
These are the Kosei TS in 15x7" with 38mm offset (approximate street price is $150/wheel). With my 205/50x15" Azenis on the rubbed a bit, not bad - just annoying plastic on plastic sound. So I bent the fenderlips a bit more and add some more negative camber cause more is better
These wheels though you have ot use the lugs that came with them because my lightweight AXAS lugs wouldn't fit (the seat it very narrow on these wheels) and so I used my McGard SplineDrives on them and they fit fine. The lugs that came with the wheel are "easy to steal" lugs. Also come with center camp and center ring. Two air nozzles for that bling bling look Nah they are used so you can add nitrogen (which is a bit lighter than air) and take the air out at the same time.

No I didn't weigh them but I picked up my Kosei K1 and the Kosei TS together and the TS was much lighter. And the Kosei K1 is 13-14lbs.
