koenig rim info?

[MarcD]

1st of all id like to say hi from the uk:wavey:

im currently in the process of putting an rb26 and bn style wide body on my 14a.

my main aim is to fill my arches with no spacers and perfect fittment. im a huge fan of the koenig rims but im really struggling to find any info on them?
my concern with them is disc clearance as im hoping to run 360mm 6 pot Brembo's up front.

so does anyone know if there are a big disc option on them?
the only code ive seen on them is D what does that mean?

[orion::S14]

Konig (<--note the spelling) is known more as a "decent looking but very generic" brand...

What I mean is...they don;t have different "discs" or a different "face" option for their wheels...they just have "wheel A" in 17x7, 17x8, and 17x9...with one offset available for each.

...or are you talking about another wheel company? (Koenig?)

koenig is what he is talking about

good luck finding them

[MarcD]

koenig is what im talking about id rather run rota's then KONIG'S

theres plenty around in jap land i nearly brought i rear pair about a month back 18x12.5 et -30 but i bailed last minute as i was worried about front brake clearance

need info to save myself from fail

[yokotas13]

spacers dude...spacers

[MarcD]

spacers dude...spacers


thats not gona help if the disc and calliper does'nt fit in the rim or am being stupid and only need to worry about the calliper clearing the spokes?.
there is a company over here who have a couple of sets on their cars but they have small brakes

ide be more concerned in purchasing a quality wheel with quality spacers, as opposed to buying a shitty konig wheel without spacers


there are numerous companies that sell very high quality machined spacers (not cheap cast chinese garbage) such as H&R or Fred Goeske (wheeladapter.com). I've been running custom made spacers by Fred for years with zero problems.

that's my car :P

originally i saw these wheels with the fitment 18x10.5 +3 and thought to myself, yeah there should be a lot of room for bbk. little did i know these wheels were made for "maximum" lip possible. spokes are completely straight, and back pad is within 10mm before back of spoke.. even with my q45 brake setup, i can barely fit my pinky between spoke and caliper. so, if you want straight up gansta lip, and NO cheater lips (you know the ones, where the spokes come out like a spider's leg and then curve back in) or step lips (cause this takes away from the image of a super wide lip) :P

example:

so in closing... isn't exactly bling bling... but it lets you know you have a super wide lip :P

[MarcD]

your car is pure sex my friend!

but thats not really what i wanted to hear, i want koenigs and big brakes.

i cant sacrifice big brakes if im going to run an rb26 with around 500hp

so looks like no koenigs for me:(

[ayuaddict]

spacers.

will solve that problem.

guaranteed.

wow

i actually get to say this to you

hahah no matter

wheels are still ugly, konig or koenig


shit is ugly

[MarcD]

wheels are still ugly
shit is ugly


really :nono:

[silviaguy240]

i dont think hes too worried about caliper spoke clearance too much, more the inside diameter of the wheels so he can fit them over the brakes and not have to run 19's.

yer, well both really. i want 18's and no spacers(unless it was like 5mm) sounds fussy i know but i hate it when you see a car with great wheels and brakes but with a lump of spacer in between.

dude, your jumping on the rb26 bandwagon like 5 years late, and your worried about spacers? id be more worried about doing shit thats been done 100xs before

[fliprayzin240sx]

They were called Koenig WRVs, made by SSR. I had a set of 18x9 +17 18x10 +22 that I sold a year ago. Barely cleared R32/Z32 brakes iirc. If you run bigger, I'd expect to run atleast 10mm spacers.

im not really bothered to much about whats "in fashion" to do to my car. im building it for me, not jumping on any bandwagon its what i want to do.
dont get me wrong if i had the cash id drop a charged LS in there but thats not easy here due to lack of parts anyway.
iv also considered 2jz but the gearboxes are an issue as im sure your aware the 5 speed's shit and the 6 speeds are rare and cost around £2000 in the uk!

so really rb is right for me
