17x8 Kosei K1 TS/Toyo T1's *PICS*






These things are awesome.... thank you to everyone that gave me advice and helped me with my questions... 8 inches or wider is the way to go. The car hugs corners perfectly.......in the rain. I've only had them on for less than a day and i love them.

That is the max psi allowed on that tire. DO NOT inflate them to that! 32 to 35 psi will be just fine.

Different OEM tire diameters on 4th and 5th gens.

I called toyo and they said for the car, 32 was good. Seems odd though.

I run 32psi in my T1-S. They grip better at higher PSI but with how stiff my car is it's just that much more uncomfortable to run them at 40 or 42 like I used to. It's alot nicer running at 32psi.

Thanks yet again, I brought them down to 32, so I'll see how that goes for a while and try different pressures to find what i like.

How's this for luck, 2nd day with the new tread and i catch a small screw on the inside tread of my passenger side rear tire. Thankfully it didn't go through.

The overall outside diameter of the tire/wheel combos on 4th and the 5th gen 17s is different, so the speedo would be off if he used the correct size for a 5th gen.

Got any pics from more of a distance, so we can see the entire car?

Where did you get everything from, how much $$? I want those tires

I just took these but the sun is glaring. I'll take more soon.





I paid $900+ shipped for the rims from tirerack.. Great place to order from.
and i paid 600+ from treaddepot.com for the toyo's at about $150 each. That the lowest price i've found them for. Most other places are about $180.

Should've lowered the car before buying rims. It looks funny on the last pics. Instead of the altezzas you should've gotten some springs rice boy.

I like my gen 2 altezza's over the stock tails any day. Stock looks just like a few Honda's, Toyota's, Mazda's... they all have the same style tails, two sets of solid red for brakes and reverse and turn signal. That's lame in my eyes.

And this "should've done this" crap.... I'll do what i want. Thank You.

Very good choice on the package. I was looking on tirerack and saw these rims and came here to see if there were any posts on them and whoola here we are. I'm planning on getting these in gray to go on a my 2k2. I'd like to get a set of SSR Comp's but they're a little steep for me. These look like a good trade off.

As far as the T1S's I've been planning on getting them for some time now.

Congrates.

These tires are awesome man, my only complaint on the rims is that they take a little more time to clean, but good things take time.
