hey kook maybe if you wouldnt do chop-hops all the time you might learn to surf...

but yea the rims are little bronze, I dont know why. Do yours look the same? You should look into getting the Dunlop Z1 Star Specs for tires...

I like more tire on the pavement too...
Yeah, but they look like cheap wheels you buy from a discount tire place. But I guess you want Function over Form. I perfer Function AND Form.

that's not an entirely true statement because he's giving up some function in the way of weight. those new wheels likely weigh a LOT more than the stockers, and we all know the problems of adding unsprung weight to a car. buying the real thing would have ensured a lighter, stronger wheel with more tire on the road. not just more tire, and the "look"

the koenigs look different..the RE30s don't have a concave look to it compared to these. Looks okay but I would have saved my money for the real thing.

dam you guys are brutal! Maybe you should do some research before making yourselves look like imbecile's...

These rims weigh in at 21lbs. not to bad compared to say the ever so popular time attack Enkei NTO3 that weighs 19lbs for the same sized rim. From "searching" on EvoM the stockers weigh in at 20-21lbs. Amazing huh? And to think I went up in size in height and in width. So I guess I saved a couple thousand bucks and added more tire to the pavement. Plus "Konig" has been in the game for 25+ years. So you know they have some backing...

Thanks for the comments...
