Well, youre in luck. I saw a Z with these wheels at the LAPD SWAT charity event a few weeks ago. Not sure if theyre on the forum..ive never seen this car on here.



Not quite as nice as Gram Lights

I agree.....i know theyre not as "classy" as the Gramlights that have the Ti lip but you cant beat that look for the price. Thanks for the help guys. If you happen to find anymore pics....post em up.

the all alone's and after burners are tight, i spoke with a konig rep at z nationals he wanted close to 5k with no tires, and 350zsource at the booth across from him was only asking $999. that was for staggered 20", they carry a real nice fat lip , i think the afterburners are the better of the two. ill post pics of em when i get home.

because of the brand the only way i think these wheels can look good is HUGE LIP front and back super low offset with a aggressive fitment sitting on the fender. anything else looks cheap.

Konig? Major yuck. Just for kicks I looked them up and, as expected, they only come in shitty widths and offsets.

Yeah well between my wife and my two kids a car payment, bike payment, insurance on both, rent, cell phone bill, and all the other bills i dont really have the money to spend on Volks. I wish i did but you cant tell me that konig didnt step it up a bit from what theyre used to doing. I dont like the whole Konig idea but the wheels really impressed me for them.

These look terrible...not to mention that they don't come in the right sizes/fitments for the Z/G.
