as stated before in here--konigs are pretty cheap$$ but they are also pretty CHEAP --They will bend pretty easily if your not carefull---The only other thing I see is that Konigs only come in like 7.5's or @ the most 8's(<--not so sure about that)

The first ones are alright but IMO the Z needs a little better quality wheel then a Konig(not busting on your bank account)or tellin you to go out and get a damn $680 VOLK TE-37(we all can't afford those damn things--I got lucky and hit the lotto)(j/k )--I'm paying a huge price for the stuff I got on my Z and it starts w/ a B and ends w/ a Y---but Konig has a few damn good lookin wheels--both ex-girlfriends had them-one had "Rated-R's" and other had "Tantrums"--they don't hold up well w/ a thin low profiled tire--so be carefull and if you get either one Post Some pic's!!!! I like the first ones

Aww shiet...... I ain't gonna buy'em if they ain't gonna last.... I always thought that Konig was a good Brand for wheels, guess not.... Oh well, the search continues......

How about Voxx, is this brand any good?

Not too fimilar w/ them,..They are kinda new..but its another one of those wheels companies like their cousin's(same sounding name) Velox--New,..not too many people that have owned a already Great wheel will take a chance w/ them I'm guessin

..the only Brand I know of that is damn cheap and a Very Good wheel is ROTA(alot of knock-off's,.but great Quality and weigh the exact same as the original)--don't make but a 8 wide though.
but as far as Quality goes for say a cheaper rim(then Rays or VOLKS)--
Enkei's are pretty damn good,..they make alot of Stock wheels for Japanese cars)Honda,Nissa,Toyota etc. and my old HONDA CBR 600F2 even had Enkei's on it!!

but all depends on what Rim style your lookin for??


Glad I could help,..but don't base your opnion soully on what I say--its all up to you bro!

I've been looking around for some inexpensive wheels too, and I've come to the conclusion that to get wheels with the right offsets and right widths, you're going to have to spend big money.
But Imo, it's better to do that than get some cheaper wheels that dont quite fit right. i guess i'll eat ramon noodles for a month or two to save some money.
Oh yeah, check out axis supermesh, they come in 8.5 and 9.5 widths. Reasonably priced, not sure about the quality. I'm just not real big on the mesh.

Actually, I've been looking at those too..... I had Axis Hagen's (19") on my last car and was very happy with them.... The quality was pretty solid..... But, I was just keeping my options open and seeing what else is out there....... But you're right, you get what you pay for.....

yeah,..thats the shittiest part about a nice hp'd RWD car like the Z--it will need a pretty expensive wheel,..before I got the money for the VOLKS--I didn't know what I was gonna do--

I had a set of Axis Touring cups on my old INTEGRA--and I bent one riding donw a Interstate going about 75 and hit a little dinky hole--more like a layer of asphalt was taken out of the road not somuch a hole or Pot hole--but it hit hard! BOOM! and I could feel that it hit so hard-I knew somethiong happened,...(no differnece in ride quality) but I knew something happened!

So I get out @ night to look and wouldn't ya know it! A damn big *** bend in it!! They are Five starts and it was in between the spokes we're its not very Strong to begin w/.
they were 18's and on a 215/35 tire so it was like a rubber band anyway,..but my old TE-37's went through some bad bumps and they we're great!!! So you're paying for Durability as well as style and Weight!

I've owned:
18"Axis tourng Cups(wht)-Integra
18" Racing Hart M7000's(wht)-Integra
16" R2's made by VOLK-(blk)Integra
17" VOLK TE-37's(bronze)-RSX-S
and now 19" GT-C's-Z(gun)

Price is def an issue--but the New VOLK G-Games wheels are Cheaper then the RAYS so check them out of hit up valuetl--he's got the info on em!
Also--check out Rotawheels.com or in the SCC or Super Street mags-(not all of thier wheels are on the site) but They have awesome Replica's and half the price same weight!!! INtegra & WRX owners swear by them!!
They will soon start making wider wheels I'm sure!

GOOD luck on your Search---AXIS new MAXXIS lip wheels I think are gettin cheaper becasue of the not so wide Rim size w/ a wide Lip??Cuts down on price of the wheel!

Quick top Few of Good wheels from previous owners I know:
1:VOLK or Rays(whichever)
2:ROTA's-(make knocks of VOLK and CP0-35's)
3:SSR's
4:Racing Harts-(just not too lightweight except CP0-35's *GREAT*)Know a few people w/ them
5:Enkei's
6:Keep your stocks and powdercoat differnet color w/ better tire choice(Khumo's pref-best bang for your buck)


Thats all from people I know that have had or have them!

Ya, I have heard that some axis wheels are VERY poor quality, and some have not only had problems with them bending BUT cracking
