Kosei K1 - trying to find a center cap that fits

It's my understanding that Kosei K1 rims didn't come with center caps. I'm curious if other K1 owners have come up with an alternative center cap that fits the wheel. They'd certainly look better with it.



Any help is appreciated.

Call Tirerack. I bought my K1's there and paid extra for caps. This was about 3 years ago.

I haven't called Tirerack yet but I think I happened upon a solution. I have a simple Honda center cap that sits flush to the wheel rather than sticks out like most. I'm going to paint it to match and add a MINI center cap decal and will post pics when done.

As promised. I plan to paint them to match and add a MINI center cap decal. The color is close now but not close enough.

Why not have some custom ones made?

I think the K-1s look awesome without the center-caps...they look like they were made for racing.

Curious if those are 16" or 17" wheels in the pictures of the blue car? I'm interested in getting these wheels in 16" maybe, and would just like to know. Thanks.

They are 17" rims. I need to update the picture with the new MINI decal on the center cap.
