kosei k-1's/others

[tnord]

well, seeing as how my stock is up almost $400, i might be selling it soon, and taking the profits to buy some wheels.  i'm fairly set on the kosei k-1's in anthracite, but if any of you other autox/track racers have suggestions on a light 16'' wheel, feel free to toss out suggestions. my main question is who has the best deal on these wheels? i really really don't want to buy from tirerack, so suggestions other than them are greatly appreciated.

Why dont you just get the real deal Buddy Club P1 wheels? They have the correct offsets and different sizes for both s13 and s14.  The best of all they aren't that expensive. The only problem is shipping from Japan. I contacted www.takakaira.com to find out how much shipping would cost and they told me about $150-200 to your door. Which is not bad at all.

if it costs 200 bucks to ship, they might as well add $50 to the price of each wheel. and if they are more expensive than the kosei's i'm guessin they're around $175/piece plus shipping gets you up to almost $900. that's a lot. especially considering the kosei's can be had for around $130/piece plus $40 shipping, $560. and with that $300 i would save an AEM intake could be bought, with money left over.......i think i'll stick with the kosei's. unless of course the buddy club's weigh like 5 lbs er somethin and are forged.

Yeah they are the same wheels but kosei k1 comes with very limeted sizes and offsets.

I know of no better value in wheels (plus they look good on an s14).  

Unfortunately, everyone I know either gets them through a guy w/ a small parts business (about $5 less than TR, but no shipping cause I can pick them up) or Tirerack... but mostly Tirerack.
