I bought these for my 4th gen civic racer as they are nearly half the wight of the raceline RL7's I had before. They are an excellent quality wheel and seemed to take the punishment of racing in their stride.

What they look like on the car:

All in all, very happy with these.

Bought these rims and Dunlop SP Sport 3D as the winter set up for my car. The rim is great value, very light, and very easy to clean. I recommend these rims for anyone with 2008+ STI looking for 17'' winter setup.

Bought the 17x8 Kosei K4R's with +36mm offset for track duty on my Scion FR-S. I weighed them at ~ 15.6lbs with my bathroom scale (difference of me Vs. Wheels + me) so they are a nearly 5 lbs lighter than the stock wheels. Mounted Kumho Ecsta XS (in stock 215/45-17 size) for the first set of tires. Fitment is great as is improved handling - with the lighter unsprung weight (~4lbs a corner) the car glides better over rougher surfaces and is more planted. Took it to MSR Houston roadcourse on 6/21 and had a blast...no issues whatsoever with the wheels on track. Just wish they were available in a silver color, they blend in a little too much with my cars color (Asphalt - dark metallic grey). Overall it's a great wheel for track, looks really nice on the FRS, and is on the lower end of the price range for lightweight wheels - excellent value! Also nice that it came with metal valve stems, center caps, and lug nuts at no additional cost.
