I'm about to pull the proverbial trigger on a set of Kosei K1 TS Silver Painted (light grey not available), 17x7 w/ 50mm offset AND Yokohama AVID V4S 225/50-17. I plan to run these year round in Michigan.

Not sure how bright the silver paint is; any opinions considering the medium gray liquid platinum?

Final comments or concerns would be appreciated.

Thanks,

For the record, the Rota Subzero Steel Grey Royal was my first choice. Can't get those in 48mm offset, at least not for a while. I considered the Falken Ziex, however the tread width is no wider than the OEM 215/45-18s.

I already looked at the member wheels.

No opinions?

I keep a library of all MS6 w/ wheels

Im runing w/ the Avid V4's. They are a pretty good OEM replacement tire and no Squeel. They are pricey though..

Wiggum: I thought the bright silver paint would be brighter. Thanks for pic.

smokeU6s: Consumer reports rated the Avid V4s highly, as did many on tirerack.com. Must be a good tire. Through tirerack I can get both wheel and tire mounted and balanced.

I have a couple leads on the Rota subzero; the 7.5" width would be nice. I suspect those leads will fall through; just about the time tirerack runs out of the Kosei K1 TS.

Thanks for the help.

wiggim - can you share with us your library of 6 wheel pics in a new post?

Personally I think the Kosei K1 TS looks much better in 18". Can't comment on the tires though. All seasons are no use to me in Texas... :nana:
