Indi Blue with New wheels Photo shoot

Just bought and installed my Kosei K1s today, and there is this john deere place down the road so I decided to snap some photos there. Enjoy.

they are kosei k1s, i'm not a hundred percent but I'm pretty sure they stoppped making them cause I was going to get them for my e36. they weight about 15lbs and brand new cost 200 bucks, I bought them off a guy from madison for 400. as for colors I think they only came in that if not a more silverish color too, but I have seen alot of them painted

you can order them from tirerack.com...call Alex or any of the guys. They are like $35 shipped or something like that for the centercaps. That is where I got mine from.

Nice look! I'm not saying you need this but those wheels would really show off a big brake kit with painted calipers kit. I know, you jut spent some $$ on the wheels and now I go mentioning another mod, but man would that look good!
