I have been looking for those. They seem to be a little difficult to track down.

What do you guys think of having the Rota Slipstreams? They are light and cheap, but are only 15x6.5. I can probably fit the 22" MT slick on that wheel.

BTW, I am working on 13s also.

AFAIK Tirerack is still the exclusive importer of Kosei wheels to the united states. Unless something has changed.

I didn't look at the website I saw them in a magazine ad. Maybe they don't make the 15x7 in our bolt pattern.

They dont make the 15 inch k-1 anymore either. When i bought my k-1's i had to get one silver and three white from tirerack. And then it took me monthes to strip the powdercoat off.

That is what I haven't been able to find and I have mainly looked at Tirerack where I first discovered these new wheels.

That's funny, my friend Brad bought a pair of Kosei K-1 15x7 wheels for his slicks about a month ago. He has a '92 DSM. I'm almost positive they're new, if they aren't, they're the cleanest used wheels I've ever seen.

Wow, hot damn, you 4th gens scare my 3.5, lol

Im guessing you guys were probably in the high 14s stock already, if you're getting high 13s with all the bolt ons?

Is anyone doing that 2001 intake manifold mod, instead of MEVI?

He's putting it in his girlfriends car which is the all motor car hes talkign about and it's not a 99. But you can put an ECU in a 99, it just takes some rewiring.

my 99 i modified the harness to use a 95 ecu. If you go to jim wolf tech site they have a diagram showing which wires are a must for the 95-96 ecu to work I used that and my service manual and now I have a former cali spec to a no emission at all spec
