Konig Milligram Wheels: Anyone tried these yet?
http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c....ategory=799949
Anybody tried these? They offer a decent sizing for the X and claim to have M.A.T. technology (like Enkei). Price seems reasonable but I cannot find any data on the interwebs regarding weight.
They are not terribly sexy or trendy, but if they are affordable and light... I'm thinking they could be good for us...

I emailed Konig for the Milligram 18x8.5 30mm oiffset weight.
They stated it is 18.9 lbs.
So it is definitely a MAT wheel, as it is lighter than most gravity cast wheels. Prices from the vendors are very reasonable.
I have a set of Gram lights 57F 17x8.5 wheels that are forged, but this wheel might be a great price/weight/strength compromise.
Which color do you like?

18.9 lbs is pretty light... Can you post the email from Konig?
I'd want to go up to 18 x 9.5, hopefully it wouldn't gain too much weight.
I have a Rally Red so I'd probably stick with something safe like silver. I'd do gold if I had a bunch of black aftermarket parts, but gold on plain red looks like MacDonalds.

My friend works for Konig an got me a set of these wheels for my X in black...they will be on my car by next week since that is when they are finally released. Once I have them on the car I will post pics. Also the wheel is light since I saw it in person an felt it. I got the 18x10 with 35offset.

19 lbs is pretty damned light anything lighter would be a magnesium or carbon worth more than the car itself... good find IMO... but the offset leaves more to be desired =/

Thanks for sharing the weight info, but in the past, I've found Konig weights to be optimistic. Can someone who actually gets these wheels weigh them? I've found some wheels to be 1-2 lbs heavier than I was told over the phone by Konig. The different offsets can also cause some variation in weight I think.
