I'm undecided between the actual model, but are these brands good?

Here's the weights on each one (17") i'm being undecided on, is that good for a wheel at this price range? ($150 or so per wheel)

Konig Ziege 20.4
Konig Toxxin 19
Enkei RS6 20.0
Enkei RS5 18.0
Enkei RSF2 19.8

Thanks.

 

Konig Caffeines 17x8. Great wheel, got them at my local discount tire co. for $650. Only 19 lbs. too!

The caffeines are good quality, and i'm sure the other konig's are too. Enkei is good as well. Either way you'll be fine.

 

I was looking at the Konig Caffeines 17x8 before also. Do you have a pic of them on your car?

What you pay is reflective of what you get in quality. Not just weight but also fitment and finish. I do like the enkei ex series stuff all japanese built, but also big dollars. www.enkei.com

 

Thanks Craig, i'll check out those Caffeine's.

Did you have to replace your tires as well? I'm thinkig of still using the current tires i have now (OEM 17" Potenza's) since it still has a lot of tread left.

 

Well your OEM wheels are only 17x7 so the tire wouldn't fit. You could however make a pretty penny sellin' em.

SudZ, I had a pic but it was b4 the lowering and caliper painting, but I'll get some ASAP. I personally love the 5-spoked blade like look so that's why I choice em. Bueno espesically on a Black max. Until then I know black019 has a pic of em on his i30.

 

Oh yea Soundmike, the tires I bought were Nankang 225/45/17 H-Rated but have a 380 treadlife and A ratings. They are only $83 a peice and they are attractive tires with that shiny black reflective stuff too.

 

I checked out those Caffeine's, not my type but they do look sweet

I'm a sucker for rims that have center caps (e.g. Toxxin) and/or 6 or less spokes.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions!

Btw, anyone know how much the stock 17" weight? I wouldn't want to get an aftermarket rim that's just as heavy as the OEM.

 

with stock rubber, about 50 lbs....

 

That heavy huh? I wonder how much the wheel itself weighs.

 

I had Konigs on a previous car, and they were good wheels. Enkei makes Formula 1 wheels, so they should know a thing or two about quality. They have several wheels that I would buy.

 

I really don't like any of those Shogun, Wugun or whatever. Their EX lines looks really nice.

Konig makes some nice looking wheels.

I think this one is pretty hot. Too bad it only comes in 17X7. The 18X7.5 would work.



This one comes in 17X8.

 

Enkei makes most OE rims for most doestic and foriegn cars. I had a set of SVO factory COBRA R wheels on my 97 COBRA; 17X9, they were made by ENKEI, very high quality!
I have a set of KONIG SUB ZEROs on the MAXIMA, same as ROTA Sub Zeros. The wheel is a 17X7.5 and only weighs 16lbs with tires; 235/45/17. I am within 1 lb of the stock 15" combo with the 17" combo. Those ROTAs and KONIGS run $130 ea.
The only thing is that the paint is brittle. I would for see having these rims powder coated in about a year.
www.whalentire.com
is where I ordered mine.

 

I will get pics soon, but until then, here are is a variety of cars with the caffeines:

 

 

 

Konig Caffeines are phat

 

anyone have a pic of subzeros on a forth gen?

 

I have Konig Tantrums on my car and I feel these are exceptional for the price! I also have an Enkei's on my CBR. This is a production wheel for Honda but seems to be of good quality.

 

They are cute wheels danny , but nothing beats the age-old Caffeine.

 

Craig, you know what? The more i look at those rims on actual cars the more i like it.

I'd really love to see it on your car so i'll have an idea as to how the Max will look with it.

Thanks for the photo's.

 

Thanks Baby! I love it when you compliment me. However, the pic SVCKS! I went to walmart/hell today to buy a new camera but relized.....This is a good place for toilet paper not cameras. They got em', just not the staff to sell em'.
So you'll see how cute my wheels are tomorrow when I go to a real store!..........Sorry to sob but you're the only one who understands! LOL!

 

you are a smart man Mike.

If I remember, which there is a 90% chance I will, I will take pics, get them developed and scan 'em for jOo. I will make my own thread for 'em and add your name to it so you know to look.

 

How about my rims?


They are Tantrums, but a bit different.

 

Did the wifey make you go Dan ?

 

More Love!

 

I know this one was already shown, but damn it looks hot!

 

This ride looks like azz!

 

you look like azz

 

C'mon, it's giving me a sinus headache!!

 

damn you reply fast!!

 

Sometimes!

 

"Did you get your clear corners yet dan??"

 

See sig, not pic!

 

It's still worthless to supe up an automatic.

 

You should talk bish! Did you happen to notice.....Momo wrapped STS?? No auto crap here!

 

OUCH! I know that hurts Craig.

I dont have any of those (wish I did), but love the look of Toxxins and RSF2 over anything out there. BTW a guy @ whalentire.com told me Toxxins are no longer made and they don't stock these. discounttire.com has 'em, for $150-160 a piece.

 

Get some clear corners you bish

 

Get some springs you bish
