they are still.They run about 350 per wheel with shipping from germany. they changed the style, they no longer say keskin, and the center cap is an exact repo of the OZ. at least mine look different and arn’t a direct take off of the futura.

tunershop doesnt have them?

and yeah, i dont totally hate the kt-1, but i think without the faux wheel bolts they would have been better.

but OZ Futuras are still top 5 for best wheel ever made in my book

That’s impressive.

I installed two fenders and a new bumper, and went about getting everything totally lined up. Gonna need to play with them a bit more to get the gaps totally even, since the front end of my car is slightly tweaked from when I hit a deer with it. New hood is sitting in my back yard, hopefully clean by now.

Gave her a bath, rubbed her down with some lotion. Filled her holes up with some fresh lube and then took her out and showed her a good time.
