They've advertised the 15" K1-Racing wheels on closeout for a long time. I get the feeling they've got a surplus of wheels that don't quickly move.

I bought a set of these with Potenza G009 tires back in April '06.

The only Kosei still available in the K1 Racing line is

15x7 4-100
17x8.5 5-120.

Any idea why they have been discontinued? Was it a quality or a quantity issue?

It was the vendor's choice, we insisted on keeping our 2 best sellers.

Alex, it even lists a good number of 15" wheels. Would that be correct? I have 15x7 SSR Competition.
