Called Tirerack today.....these are available in 15x7 with our 4x130 bolt pattern for $179 each. Not cheap, but a different option should one be looking.
(possibly available in 16x7 and 17x7 as well) (IMG:http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/kosei/swap/kos_k1_race_a_ci3_l.jpg) 13.5 pounds each...not too bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The ideal offset for a 15x7 to fit under the fender with a 205/50/15 street tire is 35mm.
I'm pretty darn sure a 205/50/15 Hoosier would fit as well (they are closer to a 225 section width) so maybe even a 225/50/15 street tire would fit, but I am not sure. |

The Minilights are still available. I have a set for my car they are 6 1/2 X 15 with the correct backspacing. Here is the web address. Not Cheap! but in our PCA region no progression points for a 1" wider wheel than stock. 4 & 5 bolt wheels.
http://www.minilitewheels.com I have the steel bolt hole inserts and they come with the lug bolts and centers. Van |

Yea, but to me they are too common as are the Panasports and Revolutions...nice rims, but I want something a little out of the ordinary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think they're good looking wheels
I wonder how they'd look under a 914 Oh, and go for 16" at least! cheers, Jeroen |

I was mis-informed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Tirerack cannot furnish these rims in our 4x130 or 5x130 Bolt Circle Pattern....due to the design of the rim, 120BC is the largest that can be safely drilled on these rims.....oh well, the search continues.......... |
