Which one are the knockoffs or are they both just as good as the other? I see a lot of similarities between the two brands and what was wondering who has the lighter wheels or the better durability. Planning on getting 18's before Maxus.

Well, I always thought Konig were the more repuatable ones so I was planning on getting the Caffeines in 18's, that is still what I'm planning on doing hopefully before Maxus. I also saw a set of Racing Hart 1-piece M5 18's for $860, but I'm not sure if I want to go with white wheels yet, since thats the only set left for that price.

Man, I didn't know that. Well, I guess I have to find another wheel, maybe I'll go for the Konig Verdict's, I'll have to change up some plans now.
