LUKE; Kosei K1 Racing
Luke,

I've read on the bimmer forums that tirerack custom machines Kosei K1 Racing wheels to customer specifications.

Would tirerack do this from my 2002 C230 Sport Coupe?

17x8(or 8.25 or 8.5) with an offset to clear my coilovers (et 35?). I am not sure how to measure that, but if you'll help me out, I'll pull the front wheel in the rain and get the measurements to you.

I want to run 245 comp rubber at all four corners, I can modify my wheel well to fit them. Main concern is clearing the lower spring perch of the front CO.

I don't think any of the 8.5s will clear the coilover strut

Are there any other lwt wheels that you can custom drill?
