I'll sell them for 1000...even with having to fix one, its like getting one of them for free. And they are still in great condition...only one is damaged from smashing into a curb...put a slight bend in it and scratched it...I can take pics for those interested.

If I had the money, I'd buy them in a heartbeat... sigh. Just when I thought life couldn't suck more... it does.

I know where you can get some lightweight 17 inch forged close outs.

What gives? It's been a couple weeks. Did it fall through?

How come no one mentioned Koseki racing rims? They look decent and they are a pretty good deal for the weight/style.

Honest answer...? Because Kosei K1s, etc, just don't score high enough on the bling bling scale. When I see a car on these on the street I say to myself "wow, now there's a person who knows how to spend money correctly"; when the F&F crowd sees them, they might mistake them for stocks. (They do, after all, look a lot like the stock wheels off an old ITR, so I don't mean this to be completely derogatory.)

In terms of spending $s to get lightness, K1s are hard to beat. 245/45/16s on 16x8.5 +37 K1s is probably the most popular tire & wheel setup for autoXing a 2G.
