joeg Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 from what i can find theres 2 cool things about these wheels:1) they're discontinued, and thus won't be on every car i see...2) they're DEEEEEEEEEP dish and weigh only ~16lbs (from what i could find)these are stunning... my only question is how strong are they? they're not forged... (hense, why i can afford such a gorgeous, light rim)i'm going to be shooting for 17x7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintron Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Kosei rims tend to be of decent quality. They're cast, so they're probably about as strong as any other cast rim like a Konig or a Rota.There are so many other styles you can get though, Joe. Lots of replicas of that style too. Don't buy discontinued rims if you can afford not to - if you should bend one or fuck it up, replacing it is going to be an adventure.check www.wheelmax.com since they have a shitload of replica style stuff.

cintron Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 it's a nice lip, but there are much better out there.for the price, i'd take a peek at the 5zigen lineup and see what they have to offer. Kosei is decent and relatively inexpensive, but for the money, 5zigen stuff isn't that much more.The Typhoon is something you should take a peek at, but eevn the 5ZR Copse is worth a look.

cintron Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 multipiece rims can be very expensive, but if they're done right they should be lighter than single piece rims.if youre looking for a deep lip and under 16lbs, you're going to have a serious problem getting it without dropping serious cash.Some people like to drop three or four hundred dollars per rim - I like to drop three or four hundred dollars per SET [figuring i race on them and they see abuse].check places like www.wheelmax.com and www.victoriatire.com or www.whalentire.comand if you are wiling to save and buy a TRUE set of multipiece rims, http://www.kodiakmotorsports.com is the place to shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted August 30 Author Report Share Posted August 30 the typhoon's are like 22lbs... the 5zR are 23.5...thats about the same or heavier than my stock wheels...yeah, i've done all the research, which is what led me to these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
