Okay, I have seen/heard of a couple people mentioning 15" rims that are available for our cars, that will fit over the brakes. If anyone happens to know the manufacturers/models, and could pass that info along, that would be great. I would also like to know if there is a specific backspacing/offset required on them, or if that's just how they come period.

Thanks-

 

the rim needs to have a 35mm offset to clear the calipers. people are using 15" rims for drag radials and slicks, i don't know anyone that uses them as daily drivers. the kosei k-1 is very common to use, as are the pt steelies. there are other 15" rims that will fit, but the kosei is the lightest that has a decent price, which is why people like them.

 

N E 1 know a good place to get the Kosei K-1's from?

 

well, after searching a bit, I need to ask another question. There are kosei k-1, and kosei k-1 TS now. I'm guessing that you're referring to the older 5'star series, http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...Silver+Painted, or are you referring to the TS - http://www.gomiata.com/koseik1ts.html

the TS mentions that it has a 38mm offset, so it looks like it'd be fine, just checking to see.

 

the older series is what people use, tirerack has them for $129 each.
