I've been committed to bringing another 15x8 wheel to the market ever since I sold the last of the Koseis (well except for this past oddball shipment) almost 2 years ago - namely for E30 M3 but I knew there was interest for non M3 (meaning 4x100) applications. I've been working with Tire Rack and providing input. Up til now there has not been a lot of info but I had been pushing for something to be available this spring. In the last several days I've gotten confirmation that the wheel is coming and I've also got lots of details.
1. 15x8, ET22, direct fitment for E30 M3 (5x120)
2. 15x8, 15x7.5, and 15x7 4x100 for non M E30 direct fitment
3. Large barrel design for big brake clearance (something I insisted on)
4. Target weight of 10-11lbs but no heavier than the Kosei (14.5lbs) for sure
5. Colors: not set but likely silver or gray and then probably matte black
6. Availability: late May-early June
7. Price: $99/ea for 15x7 and $109/ea for 15x8
Key design features are lightweight, strong, open design with a large barrel for brake clearance, and low price. All features met, see graphic image below. I'll continue to provide info as I get it.
Cheers."
