17X7 konig caffeines.. Nice or Rice??
Looking at getting some 17X7 konig caffeines used off a local car forum. He wants $750 CAN without center caps.
They also come with 225/R17/ZR45 Nitto nt450's with 80% tread left.
Think i should pick these up or hold untill something else pops up? I think they look alright but not sure if they fall in the "ricy" department or not.
Thanks

Do your car a favor. Never consider anything like these for it.

Konig makes some really nice looking wheels, but they are mostly knock-offs of other brands. For example, I believe the imagines are a knock-off of the enkei aegis. If you compare the rims side by side, you can really see the quality difference. I personally dont care all that much, considering konigs are usually 1/3 the price, but in all fairness thay arent the greatest wheels. Usually a bit heavier as well.

I'm gonna just paste what I wrote in another thread nearby.
I'm only recommending lightweight inexpensive wheel options for you:
Cheap staggered wheel would be the 5Zigen FN01RC, prob around $800.00 shipped w/o hardware and club discounts.
You can get Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 in 17x8 +35,
$800.00 shipped.
ADR Kasai is available in 17x8 +35, I have a buddy who was doing a special on them in April for $600.00 shipped.
Those are all the good width and offset options that aren't too heavy for wheels.
Peace.
PM me if you need more info. I'll see what else i can think of.
On the 7.5" width, I wouldn't recommend a 235/40/17. You should stick with a 225/45/17. But if you do the 8" width you'll be set and run the 235/40/17.
