Yea not too bad at all! My brother has those koseis on his 323F BA, which is a more angular car, which suits. But they still look great on MX :) Seems the MX3 looks great with many different rims, unlike alot of cars which really suit few styles. Just got x4 T1Rs myself, so far so good, gripping very well indeed.

are u talkin about the recaro baby seat, or the leather front seats ?
the Recaro baby seat came from the shop :lol:
and the leather seats came from a 92 car that was going to the junkyard
the leather is some sort of dress made from Mazda, because he bought the car like this ...
when i reached home, i took apart the seats and found out the old seat covers underneath:

i still have to make so much to this car ...
pretty soon, i will be getting the new paint job, tinted windows and all legal :D

WOW... I swear to you outlaw, I didn't think they would look that great.
Looks 10 times better then I thought. Guess some of us don't realize the impact that the body lines on our car makes on other things we put on it. My apologies for doubting the stylish looking rims. Keep it up bro. Its hot.

Smooth, no harm done
As i said, i show you guys the car look, just to show, i wont sell a part just because someone doesnt like it.
Ive allways wanted KOSEI, because i have a problem with brands. Example, if i can get a Turbo japonese car, it will have almost everything from HKS ... lol
And Kosei is another brand of my choice. I never thought of getting these rims for the car, i wasnt even looking for them. But when a good business apears, you have to take it :)
Next, is the complete rebuild of the car looks :)
There will be new pictures soon, :D

Yeah, I was talking about the front seats :wink: That's wierd that they put them over the top of the other skins. I assume that they will fit better around the seams, with the old skins gone. I didn't want to say anything about the fitment, and am glad you figured it out.
I :love: the way your wheels fit! Perfect gap all the way around. The rim size complements the car. I'm going to go for that exact fitment. It's the best I've ever seen.

jesse, thanks but dont do that
The car like that rubs :(
Me + Wife + Kid + a few groceries ... rubbed at all the bumps in the road :(
Do remember i have the WRONG tire size ... i should have 215/40 R17 ... but i have 215/45 R17 ... the wheel+tire is a little bigger, that is why it looks better :(
I am going to put the right tires, but i am missing 2 of them :)

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
