Konig Hotswap rims - any opinions?


So whats the deal on the Konig Hotswaps?
Any opinions on these rims?
or should i just keep my OEM BBS?

These are the only Konigs that i've seen that are even halfway worth it.
Not a big fan of konigs but these dont look bad.

looking at the Black 18x8 - 30mm os , with the CF inserts....
any fitment issues?

come on , give it to me. dont hold back, hehe lol

I was thinking of maybe doing the same thing, but I decided that I am going to powder coat my BBS wheels instead. It's a personal opinion but I would say stick with your BBS and get them powder coated or painted if you want black wheels. That is just me though. If you do end up getting the konig's make sure to post some pics!

I wouldn't. Just looks like a bad design as far as engineering goes. Doesn't seem like those inserts will last that long but I could be wrong.....would have to see them in person. Maybe the pictures just don't do them any justice.

Lamity lame lame. Why people buy cheap stuff for their 30K car? It's like me having a Ferrari and putting Evo wheels on them. It's just retarted.
