Thinking about getting 15x7 Kosei K1 wheels for my '79. They are a six spoke silver wheel. I was wondering if anyone has bought these from TireRack, and how they look on the car. If someone has some pictures could you post them? Also wondering if I can run 205/50-15's all the way around or if they will rub in the front. I have 14x6 Riken wheels on the car now with 196/60-14's. They are a black mesh style wheel with a deep polished aluminum lip. They look really sharp, but I bought them in '92 and was thinking of upgrading sizes. Anyone interested in buying them if I get the Kosei's? Thanks.

I placed 205/40/19 on mine and all I did was roll the guards

I've dealt with the Tire Rack on numerous occasions with no problems what so ever. The problem with the Kosei in a 4x110, is that they have been on backorder forever. They are an excellent wheel and very light(about 12lbs I think). I have 205/50/15's w/ROH Snypers all the way around with no problems.

I have 205's, with the sports steering wheel I have it, it allows me to turn them more than I should, so I get a little rub when I'm doing donuts.
