What do you guys think about these? Konig doesn't have any more info other than sizes, weight, and price. Anyone have them? Know of a site that tells the offset, bolt pattern, etc....?

NE way, here are a couple pics.
i kinda like the Rythms.

I have always liked the Imagines cuz they look the 5zigen Heidfelds.

Be careful though, those rims only come in a +40 offset which is slightly out of out range for our car. It will rub if you lower the car and have people in the back.

DOH!

Yesirrrreeebob!! Or Eric.

Check the Enkei Tuner line.

Edub-TL

I just took a look at the Enkei Tuner RPM2 which are nice too, and look like the Imagine.



But I actually like the Rythms. Know anything about those? I think they are kinda new.

The rythms just came out last month. They are nice too. Call the vendor and check the offset. They may be a +40 too.

If you do gou with a 40 offset, get these.

I have the Konig Imagine for my CLS. They are 18x7.5 +45 very nice, sweat deal at $215 each.

TL Daddy

See they do come in a higher offset. If you get any wheel with less than a +45 you'll be kicking yourself every day!

speed

18" Konigs have the higher offsets!

adamyankee

I spent so much time looking for 17's I forgot he was looking at 18's, my bad.

Go for it E-Dub.

Edub-TL

Yess... it gives me hope!!

If they had like a offset of +50 for 18x7.5, I think that would be perfect. I'll have to contact them and find out.

Maybe next year when my tires start to wear out so I can get new tires/wheels all in one shot. I like the look of the CL-S wheels but everyone has them.. so I want something different.

Adam, it's all good!! You're always a great help. I'll have to wait until after the wedding, you know how much $$$ that can be since you are getting married too.

Actually, konigs, along with adr, tenzo, axis, ace, and a lot more are amongst the worst rims that one can buy. They're a cheap knockoff brand. Oftentimes you'll see ricers with konigs because they're the economical solution. Just the other day i read someone on the acura-cl board was selling 4 konigs -- 2 were bent. Bends and paint problems are a commonality with konig. Personally i'd rather have cl-s or tl-s rims any day over konigs.

btw both of those types of rims above are fake 3 piece rims. They're just 1 piece rims made to look like 3 piece ones. They look like trash up close when you can tell they're fake 3 piece.

But Rice some people have to spend within their budget, and if this is what they can afford, and it makes them happy they should go for it. For example, TL0n19's has Koenings, and he has in my opinion, and a lot of others, one of the best if not the best looking TL on the site (those that have pics at least). Of course quality is extremely important, and weight is important too, but if it looks good, and all your'e going for islooks, sobeit. just my 2 cents man, peace

Thanks you guys for all your advice. I don't want to get a low quality wheel that will bend. I'll end up loosing more money this way. I already spend almost 30K for this car, i don't want to fudge it up with some cheapy wheels...

Rice, what brands do you recommend? Any ideas on ones that the Rythms are knockoffs of?

Rice1304

The Rythms are knockoffs of a 3 piece Work wheel (I forgot the model name). Volk, advan, and ssr are my favorites for japanese cars (if i had a bmw or something i would get hamann or ac probably) but there are a lot of other good wheel brands out there. Usually any real 3 piece rim would be nice.

Hey Edub I was checking out the RPM2's. They look pretty nice and weigh only 17.5 lbs or so for the 18's. Anyone know if silver will be offered in addition to the gunmetal?
