Anyone know of any places that might still sell Kosei K1 wheels in Anthracite (gunmetal)? I curbed the car the other day, and Tire Rack doesn't sell my kind anymore.

Alternatively, anyone know of any good places in SoCal that can paint wheels and match colours? TireRack still sells the rims in white, so I could always go that route...

ouch juan. thats a rough one all right :( :(

I'd prolly go with the white one and get it color matched. Are they discontinued?

ouch

That sends a chill down my spine... If you look in the back of some magazines like sport compact there is usually a good bit of ads for repairing rims...that'd be your best bet

i tried searching a couple of rim sites for you earlier but had no luck. im sorry man.

ouch dude....owned :(

just re-paint them in my opinion, i painted mine with wheel paint and they came out insanely good

after:



edit: you can clean up those burr marks pretty easily actually, you'd be surprised

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll prolly order a new wheel from TR, since I am anal and will always distrust just fixing up the gouge and running on it. I need to get a couple new tires anyways.

I could always have the full set repainted. One of the guys on SoCalDSM has a hookup that should be able to do it. It might be a chance to get a full gunmetal colour. The anthracite has a slight greenish tinge, but I always woulda preferred a straight grey shade...
