Hello everyone,
I recently swapped my rotary forged Konig Rennforms to the gorgeous forged Konig F3Ss.
Generally, I am super happy with them. They are much lighter at 17lbs per wheel and they are gorgeous.
Also I went with 18x8.5" at +35 offset and they clear the factory calipers without a spacer. The F3S's have push in center caps, this is great as the aluminum bolts on the older center caps would strip basically before the second tire rebalance, so I had to replace all of them with ti from the get go or they would be a huge pain. The center caps have a really nice seal and Konig even sent me three bottles of oil for it. They also sent me a signed certificate and a lot of nice things. The level of care is reflected in the gorgeous wheels. I am really impressed by them, much more so even than the Rays that I used to own.
They do significantly reduce the rotational mass even over the already very light Rennfroms.
The fully forged wheel does seem to transmit the vibrations a bit more but I am also on solid LCA bushings and stiffer struts so that has some to do with it also. However the small frequency vibrations do get transmitted a little more with the F3Ss.
Overall, I am super happy with the F3Ss, they are super light and exceptionally beautiful.
