Default Konig Crosshairs

Was thinking about getting these after i purchase my Z at the end of this month. But i noticed they were selling for around 200 a piece, and i believe that's cheap for a staggered setup. Any suggestions? And i've never been a konig fan until i saw these.

Obviously not the strongest or lightest wheel available.....but I think they look nice. If you like them...get them. And post pics when you do.

Strongest? explain....and as for lightest, thier two-piece..so..bleh. I mean any other suggestions within the 2k range? I'm looking for 19's with some lippage and i just can't find a pair that fits my price range or personal preference.

I'm going to buy a pikes peak white Z, and i'm going to most likely have them painted a gold if i can't find a color that fits well. Any help will be appreciated greatly!

ive used konigs for last 8 years. the same set of 17'ss have been through 2 hondas, one being totalled with involved heavy wheel hit. i even hit a storm drain which lanched my car into the air, rim never bent, the balanced at town fair tire said the rim was dead straight! Ive had nothing but excellent luck with konigs! My did cost more than 200 though i payed something like 400 per rim!

thanks for the info....although i'm still baffled about the price, and would like to find rims on the lighter side. My buddy was going to give me his Ruff Racing rims from his G but i've decided to opt out which leaves me in a rough situation after i buy the Z....

I had the konig troubles and they were an excellent rim for 2 years!

the crosshairs and the sideways are both excellent rims...when are people going to realize that price doesn't always compare directly to quality!

Well when i'm going to pay my hard earned money (around $850) for a full set of rims i want to make sure their the "ones"....otherwise i'll dish out the bigger buck for the better rim. I'd like to get the weight on these rims compared to some others out there, but theres no weight specs anywhere.

I've had a set of konig subzeros for 6 years, no problems ever, and one was also hit by a jeep. =] They make quality stuff for great prices.

I've been Time Trialing my G with konig Tantrum 2s and BFG road race slicks for the last 3 years(I drive my car very hard) with absolutely no issues. I also use Konig Privats with my street tires..So far I keep running out of tire not rim. They don't make the Tantrums anymore but it is an excellent 3pc wheel and pretty light. They are a solid company who keeps getting better and better every year.

I agree 100%. I know the marketing guy at Konig and he's really cool too...

They always have very unique wheels, saw this wheel on a G35
