Kosei K4R in dark gray, 16×7.5, shod in Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Specs, 225/45R16

I like how they look in person, even more than how they looked in pics. More aggressive than I expected. And tons of clearance for brakes and struts, when used with 10mm spacers up front. Could probably get away with 7mm.

Ride height isn’t set for them here, and I didn’t settle the suspension. Just dropped the lift a bit to get an idea of how they will look.

And the rest of my Mini Fini hitch arrived. This is nice stuff. My old car had a MiniDoMore hitch. I never really paid attention to how the Mini Fini stuff attached. It’s really well thought out. I cut down and re-drilled the drawbar from my old hitch, to minimize extension.
