Default If Kosei made the K1 for the S2k...

At a price point comparable to the RPF-1, would you consider the K1?



The K1 is my favorite wheel, I had it in 15's on my S/C Miata and 17's on my M3. Such a great, lightweight wheel. I can't believe Kosei doesn't make it for the S. The reduction in unsprung weight would be excellent, and it's a fairly cheap wheel. Would you rock it?

Looks at a glance to be pretty close to the SSR Type C's I have.

Although... how many different ways can they make a 6 spoke wheel?

It looks okay. I'd prefer Enkei EKM3s.







Sorry, I don't mean to thread jack by putting different rims in here but these look a lot better than the Kosei ones.

What this thread needs is a photoshopper to put K1s on the S.

I probably would get a set as track wheels.
