Wheel Directory: Kosei K4R 17x8.0 +36
Had 215/45-17 Kumho XS installed on 17x8, +36mm offset Kosei K4R's this past Tuesday. I originally planned to go with Hankook RS-3's (as I've run them before) but decided to try the Kumho's as they are noted as being just about as good but weigh less and cost less. Before I installed the wheels I weighed them with my bathroom scale and they showed 15.6 lbs difference between just me and me+wheel. Wheel and tire combo should be under 37lbs. This will primarily be my track setup (which I'm going tomorrow, 21st), will use the stock wheels normally (until I can find a deal on some Enkei RP03's...)
I will say I like the fit of the Kosei/Kumho combo and man what a difference in feel when driving the FR-S... with traction control all off I cannot break traction with them daily driving and the car is much more neutral. Steering is as quick as ever and the car just points and goes without any noise. Should be really great on track!
On to the Pictures!
