Default Test fitting of Kosei K1 TS's

Really liking them, might have to sell my RS4 Reps for a set in the spring.

These will be going on my father's B7 S4 later today (his new winter wheels).

tires are 235 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's.

Default My only concern: the weight. Let us know how they hold up to potholes etc.

I was thinking of picking some up but I'm concerned they might not handle the roads of the tri-state area (NY,NJ, CT) too well

Default I had the same concerns, being in CT as well, but while reading reviews...

I noticed there were a few people running them as thier witer setup and had no issues at all. Sure if you hit something huge there might be an issue, but around northeast CT the roads aren't too bad.

I'll definitely give an update on how well they hold up.

not sure I'd want those as winter wheels. STaSIS bent many of them.
