Wheel opinion..

I have a magnesium sedan ex.

Do you think these would look good and would you rock them everyday? It might resemble the color scheme of the new evolution MR, gray car + gray wheels.

Kosei k1 TS 17x7 14lbs


They are fairly new and many people with Miatas use them for autocross. I wanted to put them on for daily use.

I'd wear em if they were a darker, glossier spoke. But the design is sporty. A little common, but hell, it's a nice rim.

If I may tell you something, just because I've seen those wheels in person. The rims are nice, they're very strong, they're very light. Thats where all the cost of the rim is. The finish isn't so hot. The several different ones I've seen, all looked bad. The finish looks uneven, its painted on and doesn't look like they did a real good job doing it.
My conclusion is they're race wheels, which is what I've seen them used for on every occasion I've seen people with them, if you want them to look really good, they're gonna need a refinishing job right from the get go.

My opinion, and take it for what it's worth...for an everyday good looking wheel, I would vote for the Mille Miglia Evo 5, or the Konig Tantrums....simple, sweet looking, and great quality products.

Wow, hardcore race wheels with the double valve stems. Isn't that for pumping helium and air simultaneously or something of that mixture? They look good in the picture, but if there paint quality sucks, I dunno. I guess it would be better than rockin' the typical matte black slipstream look.
