(btw, i have the Buddy Club P1's before you ask)

OptionZero · 01-28-2007, 03:20 AM

have you tried asking TireRack?

Grandpa · 01-28-2007, 07:25 AM

Call. Their website does not accurately reflect what they have in stock.

TheTimanator · 01-28-2007, 07:37 AM

I am pretty sure that the K-1/P-1 model have been discontinued.

Sanjuro · 01-28-2007, 10:57 AM

cool, i'll give them a shot

wootwoot · 01-28-2007, 11:13 AM

A year ago I tried to order the wheels from them. First time I called the guy gave me a price quote super quick; I just shopping then. Second/third/fourth times I called nobody knew what the hell I was talking about with the weird offsets and such. Told me only 7.5'' wide at the most with +35 or something

A Spec Products · 01-28-2007, 02:20 PM

Tirerack has no idea about 240's.

They had that custom drill K1 thing baaaaack in the day.

In retrospect it wasn't super aggressive fitments, like 17x8.5+22?

TheTimanator · 01-28-2007, 02:49 PM

widest with lowest available offset:
the P-1 was available in a 17x9 +17 5 lug only
P-1/K-1's were available in a 16x8.5 +17 and 15x8 +12 4 and 5 lug

not bad fitment IMO. I would love to have a set..cheap, lightwieght, strong, all sizes cleared z-brakes, and they look pretty decent.

lucky7 · 01-28-2007, 04:30 PM

i had a set of 15x7's on my civic. i thought they were sweet. haha.

no idea what the offsets were.

speedstar01 · 01-28-2007, 04:38 PM

mmmhmmm i love kosei rims. very light and decently priced. after you call tirerack let us know what you find out. i wouldnt mind a set of 15x7 +35

EroGori · 01-28-2007, 06:37 PM

I have some 15 x 7 +17's i scored for 350 w/ tires. I really like them.. i wish they were 16".

TheTimanator · 01-28-2007, 06:55 PM

wanna sell them? j/k

seriously though, post back if your able to get these wheels from tirerack.

Sanjuro · 01-28-2007, 11:02 PM

euh... tried calling 888-541-1777 from my cell and it simply refuses to work. I'd really appreciate it if someone with a landline tried them and let us know (living on campus in a college = no real phone)

OptionZero · 01-28-2007, 11:19 PM

they have an email address, right?

Sanjuro · 01-29-2007, 11:20 AM

doh, good point

Sanjuro · 01-30-2007, 10:11 AM

ok got the official word, they are discontinued and tirerack doesn't have any in stock.

ronmcdon · 01-30-2007, 12:03 PM

same deal here. i was looking for some k-1 16's in staggered sizing. i called like half a year ago, and tirerack didnt have inventory on them back then. its really one of the best 16" wheels given how they have the right offset, size, compatibility w/ zbrakes & coilovers, weight, & price. they also look decent imo. oddly enough, they never seemed too popular. wish rota would make a copy.

ronmcdon · 01-30-2007, 01:47 PM

well, id buy the real thing too if i could. k-1's arn't made anymore, or at least i cant find them anywhere. havent had any luck finding any used on ebay either.

Sanjuro · 01-30-2007, 04:19 PM

yeah too bad, they seem to be great wheels. There are some shady auctions going on ebay right now for buddy club p-1s, has anyone bought before from this guy?
