Konig Wheels sucks!

[NiteKids]

I hear that all the time but I never hear any backing behind it.  Can anyone justify this?

I personally dont' think konig wheels suck.. They are another wheel company business just like the others.
They have decent rims.. but most of them are just knock-offs of other popular rims..japanese or what have it,

I wouldn't buy them.. i'd save my $$ up for some Volks.. or Advan's.

Hey Bomix, got any picts of your car? If so, post them or email them to me, just wanna see what it looks like with those WS's.

Konig wheels = Rota wheels

Same deal. They have strict regulations when producing their wheels so they'll have the best quality they can make. They're cheap cuz they're cast and plus, most of their wheel designs are unoriginal and more heavier than the originals. That's it, other than that, it's a fine wheel.

ADR/RS Limited on the other hand, are CRAP and have been proven to be crap after I've seen numerous photos of their wheels cracking and bending. Unless you're only going to use the wheels for daily driving on somewhat smooth roads, don't drive the car hard around corners or any of that kind of driving, and do car shows, it's perfectly fine.

Konig makes #### good wheels i think
stylewise and quality wise...
i only heard one compliant from my friend who said his girlfriend snapped a rim in under 3weeks of usage

but he is the freaky case i guess, cuz i think they are hot, and they function nice... And Acutally Konig doesn't really knock off ANYONE, if anything people steal ideas from them...like Katana...... There are very few volks, or Advans that i think look anything like konigs... Konig is good is my mind

Isn't Konig made by Lamborghini?

[crazycuban]

Nah, I'm pretty sure its made by Enkei.

They are made by Rotawheels, I think(who makes Rota I dunno)

I've owned a set of Konig NRN (17x8") wheels before, they were fine except the clear coat on the lip began to flake off.  To solve that I carefully taped off the painted part of the wheel (took me hours upon hours) and used a paint stripper to remove all of the clear coat off of the polished section.  Since there is no more clear coat the wheels shined twice as bright as they used to, and it looks awesome on that two inch lip, the only con obviously is that you have to polish them once a season to keep them super shiny.  Or whenever you wash to have them be bright-ass all the time.

I would say that I am satisfied with my purchase.  But I can also say that I will not buy them again.  Just because I want to make sure that the wheels I put on my 240 (if I do) are a extremely nice (expensive) brand.

konig wheels seem like a decent low cost wheel..

I just found out my Axis wheels wont be in for 6-8 weeks, and ive already waited 6 or 7, so i cancelled the order, im going to get some dronell wheels, they look almost exactly the same...but 18 inches now, baby!
