Default Kosei wheels?

Just wondering if anyone has tried wheels from Kosei. When looking for light weight wheels I keep finding them to be some of the lightest (assuming tire rack is correct)

Kosei K1 TS

I had Kosei K1s on my M3 and they were great wheels. It is a very commonly used track tire in the BMW community... and as far as I can tell, in many other groups as well. They're light-weight and pretty sturdy. I recommend them as a cheap and replacable track tire. Though if you're going more than 17" you're running a higher chance of damaging your wheels.

I have a set of these and I have to admit they look better in person than they do on the screen. Just got them put on last Friday.

Yeap I did... just make sure you got the right . Make sure you got the right size center caps in the wheels. I think the thicker center rings go on the rear. The flimsy ones go on the front. You'll know what I'm talking about once you get them.

Thanks for the input guys, I have been thinking about these wheels since I've had my prelude but hadn't heard anything about them. Good to hear some people have tried them with good results.
