This time, though, we went with the gloss black. In the 15x7-inch size, a few different Miata-friendly offsets are offered: 25mm, 30mm and 38mm. Pricing starts at around $145 each, including the blue valve stems. Tire Rack still imports the model, with today’s K1 Racing available in silver or gloss black in 15- and 17-inch sizes-basically for BMWs as well as cars that use a 4x100 bolt pattern. You saw this wheel on everything back then, and several GRM project cars wore it: our BMW M3, Honda Civic Si, Toyota Celica and more. The Kosei K1 Racing featured heat-treated, shot-peened construction, and a range of sizes and competitive pricing made it a popular sight. The wheel also featured lots of room around the lugs-great for flying impact guns on pit road-while the open design promoted brake cooling. Nothing protruded past the lip, meaning rubbing doors wouldn’t send spokes knocking. This wheel was aimed right at our market.įirst, there was the simple, effective profile. While our Miata has worn a few sets of wheels over the years, the run started with the Kosei K1 Racing-circa April 1999. We used Moss Motors parts in the original build, and we’ve already placed recent orders with them. Let’s just say that we have been chatting lately. BSI Racing worked on our 1992 Miata back in the day, and that’s the shop going through the car as we get it back on the road after an eight-year slumber.Įd Senf tuned the Miata some 20 years ago.
