          is that good or bad...?

          they are VERY cheap, but almost 'light' - 6.2kg for 15 x 7 cast...

          i'm already getting some nice Dunlops:



          and the Kosei are on special @ 100 bucks ea...?

          where are Kosei made?

            Sexy tyres. Saw another bloke make a post about buying those tyres on another forum.

            May I ask approx how much is shipping ? Our exchange is making buying most things from the US very attractive.

            Kosei looks like some kind of ROTA ('replica') company..

                    Did a little searching on google and apparently there the exact same wheels.

                    Buddyclub and Kosei same shit, both will eventually break

                      will they really break?

                      honda-tech seems to be quite OK with them?

                      or do i just get some other wheels:

                      enkei of sumthing? around 150ea is my limit...

                          Are you looking for 15s and are you still 4x100? If so the 949 racing 6UL (LINK) is pretty light and popular with both hondas and mx5s. Also comes in decent widths.

                              What sort of offset and width are you looking for?
