yeah. konig is a good brand.

those are nice meshes. about $1000 for 4 wheels?

i personally don't like lip, because it makes the center spokes convex and bulge out. i like concave:

Yea, I normally don't like lip either. But the lip doesn't seem to be too deep like some wheels I see. I'm thinking that's about a 1.5" lip. What do you think?

The wheel looks nice and I've never heard of any quality issues with this brand but I believe the offsets are sorta weak for our cars.

I think I might try them out. The design is nice and the price is right. It'll only be about $1000 for a set of 4 as opposed to dropping $3000+ for some similarly designed wheels from some of these manufactures I see. I'm sure the $3000 ones are lighter and such, but I just don't have that kind of disposable income for wheels. lol

Not a bad wheel. They are made by konig, so they should be decent. I love the mesh look. It works on most cars

If you want my honest opinion, I think you should make another choice. Those are ugly.

Haha oh man orbital, I was just like you a year ago. I couldn't decide between these three wheels.Then I decided I was going to get these.
20x8.5 NAD 4 all around with 245/35/20. They're a pretty nice alternative. Probably the best looking mesh wheel I found at that price range but I decided on something else. Good luck on buying your wheels!
