Anyone have or know where to get black lugs and center caps for Kosei wheels? I am running the standard silver lugs that came from Tire Rack and the wheels did not come with center caps. After getting the wheels re-finished in a titanium mat finish they are just begging for black lugs and something to cover the small center hole. :wink:

not sure what size the mini requires, but these black lugs are great for the money and add a little safety by requiring a special key to operate:

oh and do yourself a favor and order a 5-lug set of whatever size you need. that way you'll have an extra set of 4 for no extra cost.

Tire rack has center caps for Kosei wheels @ $8.00 ea. The stock lugs that come with the 17" s-lites are black and look the same as the Kosei bolts to me!

Not every kosei wheel/ application will fit with the centercaps. If they do fit they may fly off, thast why we dont sell them with the wheel.

why would the wheelcaps fly off? :razz:

Certain applictaion, the stub axel protrudes beyond the clearance within the caps.

Mini, however is not involved in that concern group.

Did you ever find black lugs? I would like to find some plain old non-locking flat black ones.

I use lug caps to make them black, but I do not have black lugs readily available

" After getting the wheels re-finished in a titanium mat finish........."

Did you get them powder-coated? Where? At what cost??

I ask because I can't find wheels to match my picky taste and now am considering a re-finish job, but I know nothing about this process. Any information would be helpful.

(ISO: 17" glossy black, polished/machined lip, 42-45 offset range, 15-18 lb. range, 7 or 8 spoke design, not more than $200 per wheel.......and I have found some wheels that meet these specs but none come in the finish I want)
