I had 18" Konig Caffiene's on my CL-S and they looked good in my opinion but i had a terrible experience with them. The clear coat was wearing off on all the wheels. My one rim had a hole in it and it was causing my tire to slowly leak air. I had them for a few months and finally saturday i got new ones and the guy i bought them off of sent them back to konig for a full refund. So i got some 18" chrome Vault Jade's. They are looking alot better. I will post pics soon so you guys can see. Anyways i would never deal with Konig again after what happened. So my suggestion would be not to even waste your time. Go for a better quality wheel.
Just my 2 cents.

As good as a Konig looks, I would pass. They aren't the best in terms of durability.

Hey I agree with yall about the knockoff, get the real one and bla bla bla..... BUT yall are rich guys..... Have yall realized not many people can afford like $500/wheel and stuff, many of us can only afford around $1500 perset, and thats about right for the knock-offs.... If yall think we who dun want to spend that much money on rims, and think we should get the real one, give us your money, and we will get the real one then.... Pls consider others financial situation, everyone are different.....

To me, I can afford more expensive rims, but I think rims are rolling on the road, and eventually will get bend doesnt matter wat quality you get, its a matter of sooner or later! I am thinking to get that Konig Imagine, yes, its a knock off, but heck, I am not going to pay $950 PER RIM for the real one, its a waste of money!

Ya, if you have your heart set on konig's i think the imagines look the best. You can also try axis, they have some nice low priced wheels. Or even the RH evolution series of wheels. Those are affordable and nice also.

BTW, just be very careful w/potholes. A lot of lower priced wheels aren't extremely durable. If you can, try to get a higher profile tire to help absorb the shock of potholes and make sure to get the correct load rating on the tires. One more thing, be careful when cleaning the wheels, some of the lower priced wheels have very fragile finishes, so use gentle soap. Just my .02 cents.

I personally really like Imagines. Check those out, machined lipped with Mesh, look real nice in 18. Wheelmax.com offers them fairly well priced I believe at 235 per rim.

I have the Konig Imagines. I like them.

At local Town Fair Tire, I Paid $215/rim $151/ Nitto 555 tire. Total $1525 including installation

One warning is that these rims are on back order for 8-10 weeks
