Anybody got good or bad to say about Konig wheels? I'm thinking about these in an 18x9 and 18x10 for my Trogdor Nova. The car will be mostly a track orientated car that will be street driven occasionally. Light weight wheels would be good, but for now the price is right on these.
Konig SSM Wheels-

The other option I like in this price range is FR500 Mustang style-

I can get either wheel for around $160 each. I'm leaning toward the Konigs though because they're not Mustang wheels, have a little deeper lip and look a little more like a high quality wheel. I'm open to thoughts on experience with quality or opinions...
Here's the Trogdor Nova build- https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?98361-74-Nova-quot-Trogdor-the-Burninator-quot&highlight=

I have a set of Privat's which are Konig made and they seem to be on par with other cast wheels. Maybe a little better.

I was thinking to do the 114.3 (5 on 4.5) pattern so if I ever wanted to get something different they could be sold to a Ford owner. Have you got pics?

I will try to get some up. I am going to try them on my g8. I bought them as rollers.

Here are some pics. I tried to mount them up to my g8 today, but had the wrong sized lug nuts. These are Privat Legende's for BMW's. 5x120 BP and are staggered 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. They have some mock up tires. I think they are 245's up front and 275's out back. I would consider selling these as they won't work with my aftermarket subframe and I want to go with a 19 on my g8.

Those Privat wheels look good, really like the grey color. If you were wondering what the konig rims look like on a muscle car they are a replica rim of the Work Meister and those can be found on the RTR-X mustang

I think they look a lot like a Kinesis wheel and I always liked their shot peened finish.

Those are nice wheels SRH! I'd be interested but I want to run 295 35s out back and 285 35s up front. I'll be needing something a little wider than yours. I REALLY like the fat/deep lip of the SSM 18x10s.
E-V you got me sold with that pic!
I'm thinking I don't like shiny bling so I'd look at having them painted/ coated satin black. Maybe do a black rim or maybe brushed.
