Kosei K5R Pics

[Chuckable]

Got BFG Comp 2s mounted over the weekend. This set-up is on ST XTAs on about their highest setting.

Which size wheel & tire did you go with? Any tricks for a center cap yet? That looks great!

 

[Chuckable]

The wheels are 17x7 and the tires are BFG Comp 2s in size 205/40/17. No center caps, unfortunately I just resorted to paining the hubs black. Wish I could get center caps, but Tire Rack says none are available, and I don't see how anything would fit. The clearance is extremely tight.

I spoke with Kosei recently and told me they dont make center caps for k5r and k8r

Looks good, what's the width on the wheels?

EDIT: Nevermind, saw after I posted.

These are not my favorite style of wheels, but at 15.9 lbs and $140 each they're hard to pass up.

Looks awesome. Weight and price really can't be beat. I'm loving my 205/45-16 SC2s, hope you do too. Love that you have the XTAs set high (I'd like to preserve near-stock ride height in my 100% DD FiST).

No centercaps? Becuz Racekar

I agree. Plus the barrels are roll-formed 👍

Great wheel choice, those look really good.

Center caps are lame

 

[Siestarider]

Those wheels look great without center caps, look "light" and are too.

Thanks to all for the kind words. My friend who's big into Jeeps (http://www.whiteopscustoms.com/)said, "Wait a week and you'll forget that you don't have centercaps." I think he may be right.

Looks good!

I had a set of Enkei RPF1s on my FoST, they did not have caps either. Bugged me to the point I got some knockout plugs used in electrical junction boxes, painted them, and installed them. Made for nice flush center caps. Some things work for me because racecar, some just do not.

Cool idea! Have any pics?

Sure, here you go:

Wow, those center caps look so unobtrusive and clean! I probably wouldn't even have noticed if we weren't discussing the topic. How did you attach the knockout plugs to the wheels?

These are what I used, the wheel center hole was close enough in size that they snapped in. And they sold them individually for less than $2 each.

What size is your center on the wheels?
Trying to find something that works with my own wheels.
