Don't buy any of them that have been powder coated and inspect each one carefully, these K1's that are made in Thailand have been known to crack at the spoke.

I HAVE TRACKED MINE (16X7.5 +43) HARD FOR OVER 6 YEARS BUT mine do say madeinjapan cast in them, never had one crack, but did break one on a pot hole with the slash wide enough to pass a quarter thru but had it professionally repaired and have tracked it two seasons since with no troubles (knocks on wood)
K1's are the best wheel for the money (IMHO) but as they age i assume they will get harder and harder to find a good set

Call tire rack, they were the làst place I've seen carry those wheels in stock. You have to call them because their stupid site you'd have to guess a car to figure out a good fitment. It's better to just call to see if they have any you're looking for.

That was done before I posted the thread. They don't have em and the person I talked to assured me i will NEVER EVER buy from tirerack.com when u don't have answers to some of the most common sense questions and u try telling me that any wheel lower than a +45 offset is gonna rub I'm sorry but get a job u have knowledge in. I've ran 16x8.75 +20 and didn't rub! Thanks for the suggestion though!

Haha yea tire rack isn't down with the flush wheel fitment crew. They look the gay offsets like oem wheels. I had to put in my car as a 02 Si hatch to get my decent fotment wheels cause they said 16x7.5 +43 rubs in which mine don't and I have room to spare even lowered.

I'd really like a complete set for fear that I can't find two more to complete it, however depends on price too. I may just buy and source other 2!! Pm me details like price , condition, etc.Or even faster text me if its cool @ 832-382-2zero0one Thanks a lot!!
