Thread: I want these rims but they wont fit, new wheel hubs?

Kosei Wheels Available at Tire Rack

I want a set of the Kosei Bronze because they weigh about 14.1lbs a piece. My problem is they don't fit our Grand Prix stock bolt pattern. Is there any adapter out there I can purchase, or a new wheel hub with the correct bolt pattern, just so I can make these work?

Thanks, and Yes! The extra work is worth it to me!

You can get adapters, but they will add the weight back on, plus add at least an 1" to your offset.

Steeda Ultra-Lite II in 17"x9" are close to 20lbs, and should bolt right on.

Thanks Josh! Do you know the weight of the stock wheels? Just curious, what were the wheels you had on your car?

I like the Steeda Ultra-Lite II's, however the price is steep. How much do each of the adapters weigh? A set of Kosei's and adapters would be cheaper than the Steeda's and could still be lighter.

No idea about stock weights...I am sure someone knows, though. The wheels on the wife's car are Mille Miglia, but I do not see them on their website. They are relatively light.

I figure the adapters are and an extra set of bolts will cost you a few pounds per wheel. My concern would be more over the added offset. I am sure there are other good lightweight Mustang bolt-pattern wheels out there. Remember that the tire weight can vary quite a bit as well.

the stock rims are in the 16 lb area.

11lbs and I would never change them. They would then be almost as light as the ZO6 wheels...

16lbs isn't bad... that's low enough for me... I like the polished ones anyways

Anyone know the exact weight of the torque stars?
