The wheel caps that I just put onto my Kosei K1 Racing wheels really help it out a lot. Thank you Alex for getting me hooked up with those. I don't think I could've driven much more without them as asthetically Kosei K1 Racing wheels look aweful when having the bare axle showing in the center of each one.



pix to be posted by this weekend.

Alex is the greatest at customer service. I'll chime in on exposed centers, and this is my own opinion- the wheels have a racier look without center caps, and the caps add extra weight

I'd really like to see pics of your car with these wheels on. I'm looking at a set of whites for my BRG/W MCS. What size are you running? Suspension mods? Thanks!

I want a set of white Kosei K-1s so bad! :evil: I think they'd look great with my IB/W.

I better start filling up my piggy bank.

How about some eye candy? Can we get a pic of your Koseis?

Here's a pic to hold us over, sans car:

I'll be sure to post a pic when i get them on it will most likely be a week or two though. I have a Black/W MCS with h-sport springs/swaybar.

In the meantime you can go here:

That is one of the best looking MINIs I have seen, and I don't mean that in an Eddie Haskle way.

I like the K-1 in white but since my MCS is Chilli Red, I don't want the blue wording on the wheels. Someone told me that the logo/wording are decals and can easily be removed. Can anyone tell me if that is correct?

I have to agree. The all-blacks are very nice but this definitely has it's own style about it. Contrasting white mirrors, roof, stripes, and wheels really is simple and attractive. Does you Mini go out with married men?
