Any opinions/advice on Kosei K1 17's?

Has anyone had any experience with Kosei K1's in 17"? They look pretty nice and I hear they are fairly lightweight. What really appeals to me is the low pricing and that they're made in Japan. A friend of mine has them on his Hachi Roku and reccommended them, but I wanted to know if they were a good choice for the WRX. Thanks in advance guys!

I'm afraid the K1 series doesn't fit the WRX. They are a great racing value - lightweight and inexpensive. Kosei has developed a wheel called the Racer that will fit the Subarus. I'll make the pictures available as soon as I get them - should be late October.

I think so, about $150-200 each.
