What do you guys think of these wheels for my 3rd gen?

Im tossing around the idea of getting these wheels because they are so damn light. They are konig next. I got a chance to see these in person. they were extremley light! Im thinking of going down to 17's because of the acceleration aspect. I now have an awesome set of Volk se37's that im starting to get a little bored of. Dont get me wrong, they are badass wheels but i think im goin with something different now. these seem to be what i really am liking now though. check em out.



and heres what my car looks like now.

No way !!!

Your car looks awesome the way it is. Leave those on, that is exactly how I would have my FD if mine was red. (99 front, 94 spoiler, & mesh rims) Only thing I would even consider changing is to cross-drilled rotors.

Both are nice wheels, but I don't like the color. In my opinion, black would be better on a red car. Must be nice to be able to throw away money because you are tired of the old set.

Don't do it! I love the wheels you have on your car now. So what if they're lighter, you won't benefit much from it. Besides I wonder if Konig even makes those wide enough and with the right offset to put on FDs.

I would stick with the mesh, but if your going to change anyways, how much for your used mesh wheels?

the owner of that ride should be smacked hard......real hard. any way, if anyone can come up with 1900 or 1800 bucks, the wheels are yours.

Yo...those wheels you got on there now look RIDICULOUS Leather....leave them!!! The FD looks badd *** with Bronze...I got a red 93 and I'm either going that dark Volk Bronze or Black...it just gives the car a mean *** look...plus Volks to Konigs??? That's like Filet Mignon to Steak umms...nahmean!!!!!!! if anything look into maybe powdercoating...inexpensive and you can change the color to whatever you'd like....although I still say stick with the bronze...but it'll belike a new set of wheels...as far as weight...that's what they made boost controllers for, hehe...add a few PSI and the weight difference won't matter man...plus you ain't competing in the 24 hours at lemans, right?? Just my 2 cents...

hey man, stick with the SE37A's, they look so much better with your car and its color. IMO, dont go with the konigs.
