Believe me, they're not the same wheel. Konig is basically a replica wheel maker like Rota, and the others. They may have a few somewhat different designs, but most of their stuff is either a copy or derived from another wheel. I remember back in the day when Konig Monsoons were the hot wheel to have. No one knew that they were a knockoff of the Volk AV-3. It was funny, my brother had the Volk's and everyone thought they were Konig's and when he told them they were not, people thought that Volk had ripped off the design from Konig.
If you saw any Konig next to the wheel they're ripping off, you could see the differences. When you have a cast copy, you can't replicate the details of the forged original. Not that there's not a place for Konig, but please don't confuse them with the real deal or think that they came up with their own designs.

But Konigs are POS wheels made in Taiwan, I've had a set of Konig Maxxim Grip wheels and they were a dissapointment

they are not bad, just don't buy wheels like this where it's obvious they copied off someone, and says racing on it LOL
i have the Privat Netz, basically a premium brand from Konig, and i'm happy with them. Quality is great, but it definitly dosn't say Racing on it lol
