I'm looking for a set of 15x8" +35mm offset 4x100 Kosei K1 Racing rims. Tire rack has them (although not in that exact size apparently) but the model is not on Kosei's website at all. Anyone know if these are out of production?

I don't think they were ever available in that size. You're describing the K4R, not the K1.

Found some people apparently selling them used (with pics that look like a K1R), guess they could be mis-measuring 15x7/7.5s

The K4R can work though, thanks.

I seem to recall that they were available in that size as blanks that TR would drill to suit. Popular on Neon.org about 10 years ago.

I know the 17x7.5's were discontinued in early '08. But I doubt that helps.

Some people don't realize you aren't supposed to measure lip to lip.

Exactly, a 15x7 will be about 8" from lip to lip.

Well, I learned something new today.

Pray tell, where do you measure from?

Inside the lips, not over the outside.

that little bit of info bit us building the Jeep as a kid had advertised some 15x8 wheels that after all the driving to meet him turned out to be 15x7s. we showed him the stamping on the inside and ended up buying them anyway since they were cheap enough after he knocked down the price, but it also meant wheel shopping wasnt over yet. not that it wouldve mattered since we ended up with 15x10s and 275s

Have you looked at the TR Motorsports 15X7? The size you describe is a VERY popular size, as it's the exact size (offset too) Spec Miata uses. The TR's are $88 from Tire Rack.

Already got 15x7s, looking to go up to 15x8s and run 225/45/15s. I see they have 15x8s but the offset is too low for what I need (C1M right?)

Yeah, the +20 offset is a BMW fitment. The Kosei K4R is probably closest to your description, as are the 949Racing 6ULs and the Konig Wideopen.

You can get the wideopen in a +25 I believe, not much of a difference from the +20 on my car, but helps!
