ISO Kosei K1

[jksn.d]

Hello everyone! New member and first post, please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong!

I’ve been a fan of the K1 since I’ve had a driver’s license, and I recently found out that they came in a 16x7.5 in a 4x108. I would love to get my hands on a set, but I haven’t been able to find listings anywhere I could think of since they seem to be rare on top of discontinued. If anyone has a set they would consider letting go of or know a good spot to look that would be greatly appreciated!

I love those wheels. I’ve been searching for years as well.

While a fantastic wheel, they weren't a very strong wheel. Not as strong as the more modern castings/flow forming wheels. There have been a bunch on Marketplace lately, but none in the size that fits our cars. I had a set on my CRX.

Those look pretty good, and make me miss my black 91 Si. Hard to find them near stock or tastefully modified without needing second mortgage these days.

Looks like they'd be really easy to clean too!

Its a fantastic wheel from a design and appearance standpoint. I am a little confused why they didn't keep making it with a more modern flow formed process. You could get strong and timeless.

Their website sucks:

I have K1s on my Miata. I'm surprised they ever made a 4x108 version since Japanese cars don't use that bolt pattern.

They are a great looking wheel and they are easy to clean. They still make the ones in 4x100 bolt pattern. You can get them at Tire Rack. But not in 4x108

Did they ever offer an 'R' version of that model in Japan (only)?

There were no R versions of anything until the NSX in 1992. Before that the R was used to designate motocross models. And there was never a CRX R Type.
