Nice find... Normally i would agree with you, but their wheels are so hot. I would hope they have no affiliation with the governing body. They are car guys, lets not hate.

Uh.. No. One's Russian. One's Jewish. To my understanding, Page is not an Iranian last name. I can tell from your profile that you're Iranian. I don't hate any Iranians but it is the government's policy (yes, many manufacturers and businesses included) to not trade with Iran. It's on America's sh*t-list. I AM a racist. I will admit that but NOT against Iranians. I'm merely extending what many manufacturers say. They often include fine print at the bottom that no transactions will occur with customers residing in Iran. I don't know you and at the same time, you don't know me. Please don't presume to be politically correct. It's overrated.

can you read the english?

"The parent company of KÖNIG, Pan Mar Corporation was an established importer and exporter since 1935.In 1975 Pan Mar began its involvement with the import and export of automotive parts and accessories, including wheels, from their offices in the New York City area."

the page is for iran.

WWW = WORLD WIDE WEB

i cannot find anywhere where it says they produce the wheels in Iran. (any with other info???)

The parent company is American. They're American.

Michaelthepsycho, your avatar as well as screen name scares me.

Cuba is also on the American sh*t-list.

But remember that America is on most countries sh*t-lists.

Be proud.

and keep your stupid comments to yourself....The guys who started google are Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Neither of whom are Iranian. The point he is making is that you dont want to fuel an antagonist economy. Love Konigs, thought they were german because of the umlaut over the o, but i guess i was wrong. Happens.

I don't give a s*** where the wheels come from, as long as they're nice and quality is good then I'll buy.

Wow... so if you got robbed by a person of asian decent.. that makes you hate the whole race? a black guy killed your *whatever relation* and you hate every black person? people do crimes, make you hate them reguardless of race, so thats not a valid excuse to hate a race. Psi cmon man.. really?.really? its not ok to be that, i mean if u wanna, go ahead, but dont come onto this forum admiting it.. keep that to yourself.... i dont hate no one from iraq or anyone from the middle east cause of the terror attacks..time to stop. im not goin on with this. . have a great day. Konigs are great wheels, & how about NIKE, they say ppl in small sweatshops make them shoes.. lets stop wearing them too. I'm just saying.

Totally not car-related but hey, it's an interesting topic. Simple fact of life: everyone is a racist. Whether you'll admit it or not is a totally different story. Can you honestly say, as a person, you've NEVER had any particular remarks about a person because of his/her race or ethnicity? And this question is directed at no one in particular. It happens every day in your life, in my life, in everyone's life. I hang around people of all sorts of backgrounds... That doesn't completely erradicate my prejudiced/biased thoughts towards particular groups of people. It only makes me less of a racist through tolerance and understanding. I don't encourage it by all means, no. Deal with it. And my post says NOTHING of Iranians in particular. My mechanical engineering department has its fair share of Iranians and I couldn't care less what they are; they're just people.

Your perspective of life kinda fails a lot. I have no prejudice againts any social group and I don't get that affirmation you are making about everyone being a little racist. that couldn't be farter from the truth. you're wierd
