Both front Kosei K1s cracked
While prepping for the new season I found cracks on both front K1s (2 on left one, 1 on right, all on inside lip). ~40 track days on these, about half with current tires. Rears are both fine.
I check wheels before every event, this is definitely a new development. The only scenario I can think off for the cracks was a very rough transition between infield and banked straights on my last event. There was an actual gap of a few inches upsetting balance on every transition. Check your wheels, better safe than sorry! |

Sorry Pete. That does suck. I will say, 40 track days is decent. I would guess that the average person does 5-6 a year. You must've been out there A LOT!

Unless I quit my job, I don't see me squeezing in more track days per year |

For as much as you track your car, I say you pick up a BRZ and beat the snot out of that. That's what I'm planning. Retire the 335i from the track. Last edited by dbjb; 02-05-2012 at 05:40 PM.. |

I have seen the front wheels on a set of Kosei K1's during a race have the center of the wheel separator from the barrel while in the carousal at Road America.
