im not into bling bling, but if you have to have one of those rims, i would go with the konigs if those are the only choices

they look almost identical except on the spokes where the caffine protrudes, the corsica goes in.

maybe the chrome is throwing me off but of those 2 pictures i feel like the caffine looks better.

I like the way the spokes on the Caffienes protrude more, but I like the chrome of the Corsicas more.

Well Giovanna has more of a name in chrome wheels, so I would go with the Konigs. They're nice looking wheels and pretty light too at 21.9lbs for an 18" rim.

I don't know, but they're cheap! Clicky. Also try www.wheelmax.com , but the tires aren't the correct size, you'd have to eMail them and see the package price with the right ones.

Me too I am feeling that chrome, the corsicas are nicer since they are chrome.

I got mine from a Local discount auto parts, $650 shipped (from another location) including tools, locking lugs, lugs, warranty, ect. Mine weigh 19.9 pounds each since they are 17x8.

Originally I was gonna get MOMO arrows, but when I found out how heavy and expensive they are, I said forget it...my caffeines are like half the price and 30 pounds lighter (as a set)

Here's another shot of them:



Alot of times I wish I had gotten 18x8, but I know I would be alot slower so I stuck with the smaller 17".
