Konig Rated R rims or Stock 89 T2 wheels?

Hey guys, what do you think I should run. Stock 89 T2 wheels or run Konig Rated R wheels on my white 90 GXL. I think the Rated R wheels are better looking, but then it might make the car to flashy. I dunno, what do you guys think

name first off, they try to trick people into thinking they're a high priced eurotuner. They're just a rice company

I personally love the S5 Turbo 2 wheels. I'm going to get a pair and have them for a long time until I need wider wheels. 225's will do me nicely for a while

well its better than frickin Aerospeed, or Tenzo R, or Motegi <-Pepboys. Some people can't afford to pay 450 bucks a wheel to get nice BBS's, so Konig's are a nice "intermaediate" brand. Also, I thought knockoffs were when some company has a nice wheel, and some crappy company makes one just like it. Like Aerospeed copying the Volk TE37's and instead of putting "RAYS Engineering" on the spoke, they put "ROYS Engineering", man that made me laugh.

Konigs aren't bad for lower priced wheels.

Konigs SUCK!!! With their pricing, I would spend my money on better stuff. Why don't you spend that money on a turbo and fuel system?

depends on weight. i would go with 89 T2 rims. they are light and decent size. 16x7 you have N/A so don't need super wide rims
