Here's the rim ...



It looks pretty plain jane .. but I saw it on a modded Jetta & the rim looks really clean! I would never have looked twice @ this rim if I saw it in a catalog .. but it looks really good in person!

Also ... do you guys know of other rims that look are similar to this that may be cheaper?

Tkx!

 

if you plan to go big i think that rim would look nice, very clean...

 

yeah .. 18 x 8 ... I need 2 find out if it'll clear my stillen brake kit though ...

 

those are nice, but i'd take the konig tantrums instead

 

I have similar looking rims on my Max. They're 17s though, I didn't want to go too big for performance issues.

Just to give you an idea what they look like. Yes, that's a huge ugly wheel gap because my stock suspension. Don't laugh at me.

 

They're pretty old school, been out for a while now. But it's a classic, clean look that's pretty much always in style. It's a Konig, so it's pretty cheap already, not many cheaper copies out there.

 

konigs are cheap? r they not considered a more perf rim? I understand they aren't that expensive but they're a decent price for a below avg weight rim I think ..

what would u consider more expensive then? these r the ones I know of

BBS
volk
Racing Hart ...

?

 

I plan on getting the Verdicts whenever I want to shell out the cash for them. I once had my eye on some Lowenharts but I decided to keep my car pretty light.

 

Vedicts are a very good choice.......

I know I love mine.....

the Villains are just another slim line 5 spoke design I will see if I can find some sites with a similar rim...where have you looked and what kind of prices have you found?

I have villians and they look great on a max. I have pictures if you want, but I don't have them online, as I can't find a good host. (Hint hint)

 

what a weasel!

u can post them on my site but it's not frequented very often ...

what about cardomain?

I also used www.webshots.com -> free! & lots of people use!

can u e-mail them 2 me? eugene.lee@utoronto.ca ... I'm looking for 18 x 8 .. what do u have?

tkx!

 

You've got mail!!!

 

Heres how they look on a 5th gen...I don't know who's car this is though...

Sweet rims, if I had some cash to burn I definetly get either these or the Verdicts.

 

I just bought some Konig 17x8 Caffeines. Great looking rim, and only 20Lbs. each. As for quality they have been great for me. I have driven HARD on them and no dents, dings, curbage what-so-ever.

My sig has the Caffeines on my max. They look soo much better in real life. I need to take a pic from the direct side when the sun isnt so bright. They look so much better.

 

BTW, they were only 650.00 Brand New Locally from Discount Tire Co. Good deal huh.

 

650 total for caffienes or the villains?

 

damn!!!!

Not sure if I like them on the Max n e more! They look 2 small on the pix I've seen ... maybe it's the pix?

I thought I was finally decided!
