Opinions on these wheels?

Pretty nice for Konigs...



18x8.5/9.5/10... pretty aggressive for Konig, too!

I still can't find the weight on these bad boys, but other than that... these seem like they have some serious potential.

Specially on a TB VIII with the black wheels real purdy!

The only other thing to worry about is fitment....

Anywho, Konigs are not widely used by Evo guys... but I am curious on some thoughts... (and if anyone can find weight/offset for these)

Oh, and one final thing, I have seen them for around $211... so, pretty damn budget friendly as well.

Well that was a constructive comment.

Because of their history with spitting out cheap wheels, it'll be hard to turn that impression around. BUT, this wheel looks like they can be going in the right direction. Update us with weights if you find them.

I think they look fantastic, much better than rota force 2s and as good as Advan RS

Got some more information for everyone...

Directly from Konig... I actually had to call them for this... these people aren't very free with their information

18x8.5 = 18.9lbs
18x9.5 = 20.3lbs
18x10 = 21.9lbs

My guess is this is product of using MAT (the same process Enkei and others use to keep their wheel light, but still fairly strong)

Got to say... given the fact that they are light too... I am pretty sold on these...

They look pretty good to me. Can someone explain what's wrong with rocking Konigs?

I think they look good.. my opinion, I think it would look better with the lip painted red to match the brembos, or color matched to ur car. My 2 cents

For the price though Rota is more stylish and is probably 3lbs lighter.
