Question Hey Dexter, are the new Kosei's out yet?

Hello Dexter, I recall you mentioning that a new line of Kosei's (the Racer I think it was?) would be released in October... so are they in yet? I'm very interested in them. Specs, pricing, and pics would be awesome. Thanks for all your help!

What colors will be available? Prices? Weights? Will they be available in wider widths (ie 8, 8.5in)?

The Kosei K1 is truly a racing wheel - they don't even include a center cap. They focus solely on cars that are mainly used in autocross-type racing. As much as we love them, the Subarus aren't the most effective autocrossers. If you look up a Miata, you'll find the K-1s in about 40 different configurations.

They used to have them in proper offsets for 240sx too. I wanted those wheels for my car back then.
