Kosei Rims
I'm really into the weight savings aspect of rims, I'm also big on autocross, so I came across these rims, 17 pounds each, cast. All wheels are 18 by 8 around. The brand is kosei and the bodel is K1 TS. They cost like 300 dollars per wheel so I was wondering if these wheels were good quality wise because i dont wanna get stuck with cheap rims that'll bend and break on me.

Wheel damage on the street is more common than competition damage. Keep in mind that a fat *** 50-series tire offers more wheel protection than a 30-series tire.

yes, im pretty certain about the weight, i asked the guy at tirerack on the phone, 2 people and both of them said the same thing. I'm paying 200 per wheel because im buying them off someone who is selling their car. Also, I think 17 pounds is insane compared to my 26 pound stock 18" rims, I mean isnt it like 1 pound off rotational weight is like 10 pounds of curb weight? Or am I mistaken? Also, I dont want to change the topic of this thread, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the lightest brake kit out there is for our cars?

Maybe .5hp or 1hp..
