What are your guys opinion on the Konig Kilogram wheel? Apparently they use MAT manufacturing tech licensed from Enkei to produce these wheels. They are fairly light with a 18 x 8.5 +45 weighing in at 19.5 lbs. Comparing them to the Enkei RPF1 18 x 8.5 +40 weighing in at 18.3 lbs.

I have attached a pic in case you're not sure what they look like.

 

How much are they? I don't like Konigs, but the style isnt too bad and based on what you posted they'd be an option for a street wheel. That size works in the front, but for the rear most would want at least an inch wider.

 

Konig shows a 18 x 9.5 being offered but I'm not sure on the offset. I contacted Discount Tires, and they can order them at $210 each which is really cheap. I'm thinking of picking up a set if the offsets for the rear work out. I'll keep everyone posted.

 

Any word on the offset(s) offered in the 18x9.5 size?

 

At that price point, the RPF1 and new PF01 aren't too much more and are better looking (and probably better quality) wheels IMO.

 

After having someone get in touch with Konig directly, it seems they only offer a 18x8 +45 and a 18x8.5 +40 at this point. Not really the aggressive sizing I originally assumed.

 

18x8.5 +40 with a simple 5mm spacer and 255/35 at each corner would work, depending on power levels and application. Hell, something uber-sticky like an Advan AD08 or Dunlop StarSpec in that size would be more than enough grip for the street and anything south of 500 rwhp.

 

Well the 18x9.5 +45 RPF1 is only 17.2 lbs.

.... and Enkei>Konig any day of the week, IMO anyway

 

I would have to agree.

Just thought it was interesting that Konig is now using the MAT manufacturing process.
