Got my rewinds

Finaly got my rewinds in today! They look freaking nice. Should look a little better than my + wheels. In case you guys haven`t been paying attention. lol These where the last set of Konig rewinds in the konig warehouse, and they are now fully discontinued.

I'm really confused by this. I just purchased a set of rewinds last week and I asked the guy that orders the wheels. He told me that they are not discontinued and the warehouse has 40+ wheels sitting in Konig's warehouse right now. He also said that he could still order the graphite one's if I wanted to wait a little while (a couple weeks)

I've heard both that they are discontinued and that they are not... so which is it?

They have sold enough of these wheels to make it worth their effort to continue offering them.
Personally, I think they missed slightly on the offset, though. +15mm will work better on the SA, while the +20mm has spring clearance issues. +20mm works for the FB, though. I'm not sure how the +20mm works on older cars.

It could just be that Koenig isn't going to ship them up to Canada anymore...
