No more konigs for me... :(

Okay.. last year I bought a set of konig imagine couple days later after I got the rims installed I had loss of presure on a corner... The problem a defect in a rim, the fake rivets was leaking

Town fair tire replaced the defective rim with run-lfat nittos... So, I thought I am done...

Today, Another loss of pressure.. I thouht it could be a flat... went to the same town fair and guess what was the problem.... the same damn defect... one of the rivets was leaking!!!

Agaim Town fair tire did not diasppoint me... a new rim was ordered and it should be installed tomorrow...

But, I guess no more Konigs for me... or at least this damn Imagine design with fake rivets!!!

The rims look great, at great price, and holds well on very bad road... but defects in construction is very dangerous...

Next time SSR or Volk Racing or Centerline.... for S4!
