Kosei's 18x9 with MT's 264-40-18's

This setup has been ran twice, once at Famoso and the other at Sacramento Raceway. I'm always trying differnt things and after hearing and seeing the results of the CCW setup I decided to part with them. Keep in mind that Kosei no longer offers this light weight rim (17 lbs) and the MT's have had great success. I believe E55 baller ran a 11.1 with this same setup. I'm $1300 into this setup and will sell for $900. Let me know what you guys think. I'll try to post some pictures later on.

I'll have some detailed pictures tomorrow.

One thing really amazing about these Kosei's is the how light they are. The first time I mounted them on the car I really couldn't believe how heavy my stock chromies felt compared to these bad boys.

BTW...If I remember correctly both rims and tires weigh 41-42 lbs.

Thanks! I have the sale pending but it will depend on whether or not this will fit a SLK55. The offset on the rims +38 and they're 18x9's. Hopefully things go well.

Okay, I have the tires pending (depending if I get a buyer for just the rims) and now I need to sell just the rims. These are Kosei 18x9 with the offset at +38 and weigh a incredible 17 lbs. These rims sold at $375 a piece and are no longer in production. I'm asking $500 + shipping or $850 for the entire set. My preference would be to sell the set as a whole but will separate if I get a buyer for the only the rims.

I changed my mind once again and these rims are back up on the market. I'm asking $850 for the set and they are boxed and ready to ship. These must go!

Thanks guys!

I'm hoping to get them sold sometime soon but if not, no big deal. Chiromikey did get a 1.69 on these bad boys over at Famoso.

CCW is a 16" allowing more sidewall on the tire

Once again no longer for sale and thanks for the interest. I really just can't believe no one picked these things up for the listed price....amazing. In the end I'm very thankful because they performed flawless the other night and I now have 100% confidence in them....at least for now !
