Konig subzero, 2k SE wheels on 3rd Gen
hey guys - i have been talking to a few members, debating what wheels to get.. 16 pounds without the tires konig subzero's 
or 2k 17" se rims.
the konigs would come out to about 600 with shipping, and the 2k SE rims would be 500.
i'm looking for opinions on build quality and weight for these two wheels, also if anyone has a picture of a 3rd gen with 5th gen wheels, i'd love to see it.

They look very good on James' car. He's got 225/45 tires on them without any rubbing probs last I heard.... (might want to double check that, heh heh 
) It helps though if you get tires without a rim protector (like his Kumhos I think).

yeah, i've talked to james quite a bit, and i like the wheels, i just dont want to copy him 
kinda looking around for opinions on what will be a better wheel, eg: do the konigs have duribility issues? and if they had to be sold, i imagine the konigs would hold more value than a production wheel.

damn you james! i swear my 15"s and the tires must weigh in at a good 40 lbs each. if there's one thing high school physics taught me ... rotational momentum is bad lighter wheels will ride better, go faster and stop quicker.
BTW, the 16 pound one i'm looking at is 17" and comes from whalen wheel and tire. maybe james got lucky with 14 lbs, but their site said 16

Yep, Rota's, Konig's, Spoon's, Evo's and even some Racing Harts (I'm almost convinced the Racing Hart variety are the exact same wheel as the SubZero's....topped off by the fact they weigh exactly the same) are all the exact same wheel. I dont know if all the brands share all the same wheel's but at least a couple of them do. My brother has Rota Slipstreams, and we have the exact same manufacturer info and engravings on the back of our wheels...
Rota Slipstreams = Spoon SW388's = Evo Regamaster's = probably more brands
Rota SubZero's = Konig Subzero's = I'm almost positive the Racing Harts (not sure of the name)= probably more brands
After I figured that out I wished I would have gotten in on that GD for 17" SubZero's I was looking at, but it was too late and WhalenTire was the next cheapest I could find.
It's amazing how many exact matching wheels there are out there sold under like 15 different brand names with hundreds of dollars difference in cost.

james - get on AIM, talking through posts takes too long!
group deal... what was the price? i want wheels, but can't break the bank with some lightweight racer wheels, so the subzeros are great for me. Anyone interested in starting a group deal for some Rota Subzeros? james, i know you want another set

oops- forgot to ask for information on any company selling Rota/konig/spoon/whatever Subzeros for less than $135 (whalen's price) per wheel. i am determined to put something on my car that will look better than stockers.

Go look on the inside of the Rotas. Do they say Russia? If not, they aren't the same wheel(which they aren't)

I'm still convinced they're the same wheel, whether or not they're all made by Spoon in Russia is beside the point.
