i need wheels because im tired of rolling on steelies with a lowered car... i found some wheels on craigslist for 150 with tires... but i dont know anything about the company... i really have only heard of them once but it was an indifferent comment. here is the link Kosei?

looks like kosei k1

They were my first set of new wheels back in 2001. I liked 'em.

Kosei is a reputable company, if those are genuine. I don't think they ever came in black, as purchased, so odds are one of the owners painted them. Spec Miata guys like them, but only if they're 15s.

I had some on my old car, and then they were sold (numerous times, from what I've heard). I think I sold mine for around $400+, so you may be getting a bargain.

16s were kind of pushing it on my car, especially with those narrow spokes, but that's a personal thing.

I liked my K1's, which used to be tmarsh's. I can't see the CL link because it's blocked at work. But if those are in good shape, go for it.

they make paint stripper u can pick it up at an auto store but you probably are not going to get the original color back, after its stripped you are probably going to have to repaint a good silver color.

Mmm... Good looking wheels, I need to find something new as well. I'm actually looking into the Rota RB 15's for my coupe.
