I'm thinking about getting black/chrome 20x9 Konig HotSwaps on my 98' silver GS300. I'm hoping that someone has them already so I can see a picture of what they look like on a GS.

I don't think Konig anything should go on a Lexus. If you want a reasonably priced wheel, look into Axis.

If you're on a budget, just go with Axis. Heck, at the end of the day, it's your garage you park your car, not anyone else's. To each their own.

if you really want to see how they look, request a pchop in that section.

konig + lexus = ricey! please rethink your choice of wheels and go with something a little more classy. but like others have said, "to each his own." it is after all your car.

My 8 year old son said "ooooh, those are nice!"

When he plays Need for Speed, he puts on the ugliest body kits, the biggest wings, and all graphics available.

That means "Don't do it." There are classy even aggressive rims in the similar price range as those that look good. MRR comes to mind.

I'd go OEM if I were on a budget. GS 18" look nice.

I had a set of Konigs when I first bought my GS....it was gone in less than a month.

Holy crap, your right I am...I haven't looked at my post count in a long long time...I still remember when Rominl reached 10,000 posts and I called him the biggest loser but than Richie reached 10k and I had to call him a loser too, Than Sick reached 10k and I figured I'd call him a loser too but Now I'm reaching 10k. So either I'm a loser to be too or maybe by now we can say its a great Milestone? (I'll go with the latter)

No the bar has just been set higher. 10k posts is still a loser and as you get higher in the post count you become a progressively bigger loser lol j/k.

I had 18" Konigs back in the day (00') when I was still driving around a Honda. After a few months, 3 out of 4 of the wheels had bends in them!


Quick Reply: Anyone have Konig HotSwaps on a 2nd gen GS?
