Lightweight Kosei Wheels

In my opinion this is the Wheel deal of the Year... Period.

I have many sets of "Brand New", "Hard To Find", "Very Light" (15.8 pounds) 17x7.5 "Kosei PENTa R/T Wheels" (made in Japan).
Silver: $595/set. add $15/wheel for the beautifull "Pearl/Black Chrome".

For specs please check:
http://www.faswheels.com/products/wheels/rt_penta.htm#
5 sets ready to shipped "FREE OF CHARGE" to 48 States. another 5 sets available soon.
I will gladly answer all questions and paypal: HenrikGal@aol.com

These are so new, therefore no pictures on the Maxima yet.

I'll pay 1/2 the shipping for the first 5 set orders.
Or if you just want to paypal add $40 flat fee for shipping coast to coast (48 states).

The 18x7.5 (18.5 pounds) will be available soon in "very limited quantities" (price to be determined but considerably more)

I was wondering if the package includes centercaps and lugnuts? Or will the factory lugnuts work? Do you know if the centercaps will fit? I know couple of people who have gone with aftermarket wheels(in 5th Gen Max) and the centercaps will not fit over the rear wheels. Also would you be able to make it wheel/tire combo? I have the stock blowtenzas and would like to replace.


Thank you

Thank you
The set includes centercaps which would fit fine (I'll double check it on my car to verify), but does not include lug nuts.
Tire of choice can be arranged also, but no free shipping on the combo.
Thanks, Henrikgal@aol.com

No problem, thanks for the business.
I still can't believe how light these Japaneese wheels are at 1/3 the price of Racing Harts, VOLK's, SSR's...etc.

If anything,
it would be cool if you got some 17s at least

I'm considering selling my wheels just so I can get these babies.

I have 1 more 17"set left which I was thinking about keeping it for myself... (Might sell em with good offer).
The next shipment will probabley be here from Japan around Christmas which might be more $$$'s (unless I buy in large quantities).

I'm looking for some silver 17s.. if you can get any more at that price, I'll jump on them right away. I just put my Rotas up for sale.
You should spark some interest in them 1st and maybe you can pull off ordering a large quantity.. but once again, if you can get silver 17s at the same price, i will definately be interested
and it's no surprise you sold off 4 sets so quick..

Too bad there's no deal on 18's cause then i'd probably be in...

(Hint: There are a lot of people wanting both 17's and 18's, so maybe you should order another large quantity)

I am in the middle of negotiations on the 18". I will hopefully finalize the deal by Tuesday. Bottom line is I can't get any good deals unless I order and "prepay" for atleast 5-7 sets ...

Well if that's the case maybe you should do some Group Buy thingie and whoever wants 17" or 18" can pre pay you a deposit. so you can get us a better deal. I in for the 18' in black pearl/chrome. Give us the best deal you can and definitely you can get more than 5-7 people.

I have a newbie question though. If my factory offset is 42mm , which they have listed. Will 35mm offset fit w/o rubbing on 225 tires? Also is the lip on both offset the same or is 35mm a deeper lip. The reason why I'm asking is because I wanted to go for the deep lip look like the new Volks GT-C's... If anyone can answer my question. Thanks

PS(Does the offset even cause the outcome of a deeper lip on the rim.)

1. NYCe MaXiMa... 17" Silver.. (however, i'd definately consider the silver 18s but I'd like to know the price before I commit or decide.)

EDIT:
i really appologize for doing this, but I'm now having 2nd thoughts of keeping the aftermarket wheels I have on right now because I may be able to sell my factory rims and use that $ to get tires for my aftermarkets..
again, I appologize for stripping things up, these wheels are indeed beautiful and the price is unbelievable.. I am sure you will not have trouble finding even a dozen people to get in on this deal..

once again, I'm not 100%, so i just thought I'd respond so i don't end up looking that I'm bailing out in the last second, especially in this situation where you'd have to order the wheels specifically on demand.

thanks,
once again, still not 100%.. just having 2nd thoughts.. put me down as a "maybe".

Both 35mm and 42mm will be fine. I recommend the 42mm. It won't be tucked in as much and it won't stick out as much. Kind of flush with the fenders depending on which generation you have.
The difference in the lip look would also be so little.
