Bronze wheels on a red car look really good. I love the style of the TE37's, but 17" looks a bit big on an mki.

big brakes and big power required bigger wheels. Could have gone 16'', but tire choices are very limited with 16''s.

They weigh about 13lbs each !
Those are cheap wheel bought some years ago at "Canadian tire" for something like 150$/each.
The Dark Bronze on red car is amazing !

Looks good Raptor. The wheels go well with the car. Do you have the center caps for them?

Those wheels don't come with center caps. I never saw the point in them anyway.

The K1's do come with center caps. I have them on my White K1's.. They are silver caps on the outside of the caps.. and a lighter silver on the center of the cap/top.


Oh... and I will sell these wheels if someone is interested. And, they have pretty much brand new Yokohama Paradas on them . 205/40/17 all around.

^ Are you sure those aren't aftermarket caps? I've never heard of Kosei K1's coming with center caps.

Stunning! One of the best MK1's I've seen yet. The wheels look awesome against the blue paint. Very nice.

I now have lightweight lug nuts on my 2! I picked up some 0.6oz lugs, which weigh about 1/4 what the stock ones do, and they seat better with the aftermarket rims.
