kosei k-1

hey, i was just wondering what they would look like on a first gen. I haven't seen many pics of them on the car. They don't seem like they "fit" with the car, but I don't know, maybe its just me. Also, my SA is white, would that clash with the color of the wheels? My other alternative are black wheels. What do you guys think? stock waffle wheels in crappy condition are going to be an eyesore when my car is painted

Thanks
Brendon

I didnt think they would look good until I saw them on a bmw 318, and concluded they could be stylish, at least on a red SA, Id buy them if I wasnt poor just cause there 7 inches wide, theyd fit my car and 15s are a good size.
just my opinion

I absolutly love the look of the Kosie K1's on the FB's I have seen only one other car in the idaho area that has then and he is a pretty good guy. But seriously if you have 4X110 and you need a really nice set of wheels you cant go wrong with the Kosie's they look incredable and the 15X7's sit so nice .... although I need to get some RB springs to bring the wheel gap down a little bit to give the car a little more of a stock ride hight. but they look awsome I wish I had a digital camera so I could take a couple of pics for ya sorry.

Another thing to, they are supposed to almost exactly match the stock silver color...

I think it looks just fine without them just sand down your center caps on your hubs or the drum's on the back and paint them black or something it will look fine. Like I said I dont have a digital camera I wish I did though.

I've been planning on getting these for awhile now. They look sweet. And 14.1 lbs is pretty light for a rim of that price.

well honestly I don't remember, I just had this picture saved on my computer... If you search for "pictures Kosei" or something like that, I just came across it when looking for rims for my car.

Why can't they fit a gsl-se? Maybe I will swap over to my GSL suspension.


Here is another pic for you all to enjoy

Anything would look good on that silver car. I've seen some K1's on some cars, and it looked crappy. esp. at stock height, as the spokes are thin and don't fill up the space. I'd check out the ROH Snypers before you pick those Koseis up. The Kosei K1's are probably lighter, but the Snypers are really pretty.

Lol, I love how that guy just posts random pics of his bomb-*** 7 with 17's :P
We've seen your car lots man, they're just wheels!

Haha, just kidding dude; I'm not hating. The wheels are nice, just too modern for my tastes. Keep the car looking good though!
