Konig Rewind 15x7 et-0. Yokohama AVS ES100 - 205/55.









Thinkng about dropping the ride height a bit more. And I'd like to add more negative camber front and rear.

KTS coilovers from SPL. I actually dropped it quite a bit last night when I put the new wheels on. But since it's not my daily driver, I guess I could drop it more.

I hope you won't be scrubbing your fenders on dips in the road. Nice wheels though.

Yeah. That's why I'll be adding more camber. But I really like these new wheels.

And for $100 each, you can't go wrong.

Don't they come in another offset besides -0? I thought they also came in +15. Maybe I'm thinking of something else...

No, don't we wish.

It's 0, or +45 (yuck).

looks really nice

i wish they came in +15, since i can get them for $220 a set

thats a lot better than $600 for team dynamics, and especially better than $1500 for volks

Huh?

Those wheels are like... miles away from the fenders.

With KTS you don't even need to fiddle with the height. Just max em out. run uncaptive spring in the rear and start taking collars out of the fronts if you have balls.

With the camber gain you get from that those wheels are gonna be mighty close to sunk.

13.32 lbs according to Konig's website. They felt light as hell when I took them out of the box. Even the guy at the tire shop commented on how they felt light.

Lovin the wheels. I would also say it could use a little more of a drop, but not too drastic. I really wanted to pick up a set of the Konigs, I just wish they came in a slightly higher offset.

I like it! Give the fenders a roll and a pull and it'll look great!

That's the plan. I think I'll be renting the Eastwood tool from SPL, unless I can find some place local that has it.

After I roll the front, and pull the rear, it's off to the alignment shop.
