Help me Decide on Wheels

Post by **vkyolv** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:05 am

Alright, I need everyone's help on this. And I mean everyone..don't just look then blow off the post. I am really torn between the wheels I am going to get for my birthday. They are going on my Black Coupe. I would be spending generally the same amount on either wheel, so it makes the decision process that much harder. BTW, [email protected] you for your help!

In either wheel I would be looking at 18x8 +40, and will be using Black Lugs / Black Aluminum Valve Stems

The first is the Konig Hotswap:

The second is the League WKR-1

So opinions and comments are welcome

i really dig a red outline... but that looks too thin and i dont like the design much... red rim rules!

Post by **vkyolv** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:49 am

yeah I was a little unsure on the design, but then I photoshopped it and like the look.

I like the second option.

What color is your car?

Blk...sorry

i'd say the konig's look better for an aftermarket wheel for the coupe. the 2nd wheel looks just like the 3.5se stockers only black. you'd prolly save money if you painted yours black if that's the look you're going for.

League WKR-1

Post by **mcheddadi** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:28 am

LOL!!! Nice Mehdi...

Post by **LongBeachCoupe** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 12:00 pm

looks like a quasi-6 series bmw

Post by **kuhan** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 1:24 pm

dude,

Hotswap gets my vote.IMHO, I think those go well with black car with red brake calipers

OTH, League WKR-1 looks HOT with red brake calipers!!! if you are into all-black theme!!!

What's the price differences?

Post by **gatorglaze** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 6:02 pm

Why 18's? I admit finding a NICE looking set of 19's in black is a hard *** job (considering ive been looking for the past 3 days) but i find 18's just a tad small.

Post by **vkyolv** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 2:52 am

I just want something a little bigger (than stock 16's), plus the price was really attractive vs typical 19" wheels.

As for price difference, I don't want to burn my source...so I am waiting to hear from him before I state price differences and such.

Ok, for those interested in the Hotswap's...here is the price.

KONIG HOTSWAP 18X8 5X114.3 ET40 Black/Chrome Spokes- $150.00 (each)KONIG HOTSWAP 19X8 5X114.3 ET40 Black/Chrome Spokes- $175.00 (each)

And for the best price anywhere, everyone who won't pass up this deal really needs to thank Kyle@Stillen.

After much deliberating and the help of you guys...

I have opted to go with the League WKR-1's...eventhough the majority was for the Hotswap's. I equated that to mean that there was more of a likelyhood to see more Hotswaps on the road. And I would rather have something a bit more uncommon. In anycase, thank you everyone for your help and thank you Kyle@Stillen for the generous offer to get me the best pricing period.

when you get them, post pics!!

Post by **kuhan** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 6:14 pm

yeah, you can't go wrong with either one. Now you have to paint those brake calipers red for sure!!!

Post by **DarkKnight22** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 7:10 pm

UGH where was that pricing last week LOL. I just got the 19" Hotswap's and they are DAMN sexy.

$200 a wheel was the best I could find online, the $175 is an AMAZING deal

pics! pics!

Post by **yeahbooiiii** » Fri May 02, 2008 6:56 am

i've a black coupe with 19's on it and i would have to say go with the first selection. If i had to choose i think those would look way cooler than the second choice

First off....I apologize for the $h!ty quality, the lense was fogged on the camera.

Any case I like the wheels, they look nice...now I just need to wash my car.

What do you guys think now???

Post by **sexybeasty** » Fri May 02, 2008 5:09 pm

Stealthy! Did you go with the 18's or 19's?

Post by **vkyolv** » Fri May 02, 2008 7:51 pm
