RE: 16 inch wheels on a MKI

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Scott-
  The K1 is available in 15x7, but that size will not fit our VWs.  This I
was told by the Tire Rack when I tried to order a set for my 'Roc.  I agree
wicha'....15 inch is the best choice for our cars, everything considered.

Hey, the Kosei K1 is a light but sturdy wheel. It does come in a 15x7"
version, though. I'd recommend that size over a 16x7.5" on an A1 chassis car
any day. Think unsprung weight, inertial effects on  braking, acceleration,
etc...

(But, you already know that...) :^)
