Thinking of getting these wheels/tires...comments?

I have a silver 2000 SE and I want to buy new wheels. After reseaching forever, I found a set that I like. I am going with 18" because I already have 17" wheels. Here are the wheels I want to buy:
http://www.konigwheels.com/catalog_s...20WHEEL%20LINE
Konig Absolutes in graphite (18X7.5). The picture does not show how dark the graphite really is; it is almost black.

The Konigs will be wrapped in Kumho Ecsta 712 235/40 18.



comments....suggestions?

Thanks,

T

So, are you gonna sell the rims you have now? I could take 'em off your hands, no problem.

I would not blame you. Those rims look real nice on there.

I think they look sharp. But two things to consider - as mentioned Konigs are usually knock-offs, and Konigs are usually heavy. Personally, I don't care if they are knock-offs, but I care about the weight.

who cares if they're knock-offs. knock offs are the only way to go unless weight and status really matters to you.

...or if you binge for once in your life and spend way too much money.
