found these rims on the tire rack site... they look pretty cool and @ 10.5 lbs per wheel and the price ($149 per wheel) for that weight is making them look SUPER cool... they seem to have a strong following in japan, but haven't heard much about kosei around here...

is anyone running these?... what do u guys think?... anyone have any idea whats the deal with two air valves?... :?:

this may be a stupid question, BUT why are there 2 valve stems?

Those are the style rims I am looking for. Are they 18" 7.5's? Where did you see them?

"They even have twin valves so you can purge out the air when you're filling them with nitrogen - no kidding. Available in silver, grey (shown) or orange (15" only). "
